Roman Reigns Narrowly Beats Cody Rhodes At WrestleMania 39

And STILL — Roman Reigns simply defeated Cody Rhodes to retain the WWE Common Championship on Sunday … in a match that was nothing wanting an on the spot traditional.

The 2 began the battle with an intense stare-down earlier than going at it … and Cody took the fast benefit, forcing Roman to take a breather outdoors the ring.

After a pep speak from his supervisor, Paul Heyman, RR received again within the ring and into the motion … transferring Cody round at his will.

The match was as backwards and forwards because it will get from there … and the Bloodline, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn even made an look.

After all, Roman was the Common Champion for over 900 days … however the match meant much more to Cody, who beforehand informed TMZ Sports activities he hoped to do one thing his legendary household hadn’t accomplished and win the primary occasion at WM.

Cody was clearly emotional after the loss … and plenty of felt he did greater than sufficient to win.
