Speaking in K100 with Konnan and Disco Infernothe two veterans discussed Cody Rhodes's decision to reject a villain role in AEW. During this conversation, Konnan said that the original tribal Chief can overcome The American Nightmare as the best company of the company.
“I said this a couple of months ago, that Roman (Reigns) could take the place of (Cody Rhodes) as the main babyface,” said Konnan. (From 50:30 to 50:38)
Rosa Thunder why the undisputed wwe champion Cody Rhodes joined Roman Reigns
Last year, Cody Rhodes joined Roman Reigns when The Original Tribal Chief had no family on his corner against Bloodline Soloaa. This led to a series of events, from the turn of Kevin Owens as a villain to Jimmy's return to the promotion of Stamford.
However, Aew Rosa Thunder believes that WWE's undisputed champion had no choice. Speaking in Busted Openthe former Women's World Champion of AEW defended the decision of The American Nightmare to join The Original Tribal Chief in WWE Bad Blood in Atlanta.
“You do not think about the job opportunities that you will lose if you are not associated with certain people in certain jobs. Lucha is one of them. I see it all the time. It has happened to me. (…) In the case of Cody Rhodes, he had to do what he had to do as the golden boy. He had no choice but to work with certain people. She said. (From 09:30 to 10:19)
Both stars have monumental challenges for 2025 and it will be interesting to see what the future holds in Wrestlemania 41.
