During broadcasts of WrestleMania 39 via Peacock and WWE Network, the superstar Roman Reigns retains the Unified Universal Championship after defeating Cody Rhodes hand in hand.
This was the main confrontation of the day on Sunday in The Showcase of Immortals in Los Angeles California. The American Nightmare It didn’t take long for him to lock his rival in several locks to show that he wasn’t up for games. An “old school” right hand made Reigns lose his smile. After throwing Roman to ringside, Cody was briefly distracted by Solo Sikoa and was forced to wrestle before applying a Bodyslam down the ramp.
Rhodes lost the advantage with a discreet blow from Sikoa that allowed Roman to apply offense. Cody reacted by sending The Tribal Chief towards the table of commentators in English that crossed with his body. Inside the ring, the challenger hit a Scoop Slam followed by the Cody Cutter that allowed him his first count close to three. When Solo tried to create offense with the Rhodes belt, the referee decided to eject him and left Roman Reigns without reinforcements out of the ring.
The distraction allowed the first Cross Rhodes of the night, which was not enough to dethrone the Head of the Table. Cody resisted the counterattack, resisting a Rock Bottom and escaping the punch with a Pedigree. Reigns responded with the Superman Punch and got away for a Spear. The move was reversed with a Figure Four from which he was able to miraculously escape. The crowd erupted when Rhodes got up from the first Spear of the night.
The Tribal Chief he took out of his arsenal the Guillotine that gave him the title victory in the past, but The American Nightmare broke the lock and caused the referee to be knocked out by accident. The Usos appeared to attack Rhodes with a 1D, but the new champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn led the score. After a Stunner and the Helluva Kick for Reigns, the referee returned to look for the account in favor of Cody, but it only reached two. Following a Floppin’ Flop, Cody attempted all three Cross Rhodes to find the win. However, Solo came back to hit the Samoan Spike and allowed Reigns’ Spear for the win on a pin count,
Thus, Roman Reigns retains the Unified WWE Universal Championship in his sixth starting defense. The Tribal Chief He maintains a reign of 945 days and 28 successful defenses with the Universal title since Payback 2020, to which he added the WWE Championship 364 days ago at WrestleMania 38 (Night 2).
