I always devote myself to the audience, and I owe you the most powerful Roman Reigns,” he shared in the video.

According to some internal sources, WWE has planned Roman to confront Cody Rhodes in a dramatic rematch, followed the story line from Wrestlemania 40. However, with this unexpected change, it is likely that WWE will have to quickly adjust the entire plot and search for an alternative factor to be attractive enough.
