The thrilling conclusion of Wrestlemania 40 Night 2 saw Cody Rhodes solidify his place in WWE history with a triumphant victory over Roman Reigns. Rhodes, executing three emphatic Cross Rhodes maneuvers, secured the pinfall victory, claiming the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship and bringing an end to Reigns' remarkable 1,316-day reign.
"In my heart, I knew I had
to finish the story. Three Cross Rhodes to seal the deal, to fulfill my
destiny," Rhodes declared in an emotional post-match interview.
To achieve his long-held dream
and embrace the American dream, Rhodes unleashed three consecutive Cross Rhodes
on Reigns, closing the chapter on one of the greatest title reigns in WWE
history. With this victory, Rhodes etched his name into the annals of wrestling
lore as the new Universal Champion.
"I've dreamed of this moment
since I was a kid. To stand here tonight as the Universal Champion, it's a
feeling I can't even describe," Rhodes expressed, overcome with emotion.
The electrifying event also
featured captivating cameos from wrestling icons John Cena, Seth 'Freakin' Rollins,
and The Undertaker, who delivered a stunning choke slam on The Rock during one
of the concluding episodes.
Following his victory, Rhodes
was joined by a host of WWE superstars including John Cena, Randy Orton, CM
Punk, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Jey Uso in a jubilant celebration of his
championship triumph.
"This victory is not just
for me, it's for every wrestler who has ever stepped foot in the ring. It's for
the fans who have supported me throughout my journey," Rhodes addressed
the crowd during his celebratory speech.
The significance of Rhodes' journey has been a subject of curiosity among WWE fans. In a report titled "I gotta finish the story" by Sportskeeda, Rhodes elucidated on his motivations and revealed the real reason behind his quest to dethrone Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39.
"I gotta finish the story.
For those who don't know, 1978, my dad won the WWE title... So you won the
match but the champion got to keep the title, that's mentioned on RAW, so it's
a real story," Rhodes shared, reflecting on his family's wrestling legacy
and his determination to carve out his own place in WWE history.
