Rikishi: Having Cody Rhodes Turning on Roman Reigns Would Have Been Nice

Two of the top stars in WWE right now is WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Cody Rhodes and The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns . The two recently teamed up together at WWE Bad Blood to take on The Bloodline. Rikishi recently pondered over the idea of Cody Rhodes turning heel.

While speaking on his Off The Top podcast , WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi shared that as much as he loves Cody Rhodes being a babyface, he would have loved to have seen him turn on Reigns.

“I almost feel like, man, I would have thought, and this is just my weird mind, I’m always thinking, when people go left, I go right, during that time, it damn sure would have been nice if Cody turned on Roman. You got two big babyfaces, and Cody’s been that babyface since Roman’s been gone. Then to be able to come back together, you can almost…[Roman] puts out that aura, he puts out that vibe, you can almost feel coming through the TV how over this guy is. This was once a guy that people hated his guts, but as you can listen, man. You be got the champion, and you’ve got a guy that lost to the champion, making his [return], coming back to wrestle, and the building erupted.” [H/T Fightful.com ]

Rikishi thought Cody Rhodes was going to turn on Roman Reigns at WWE Bad Blood

The WWE Hall of Famer was convinced at a point that his wish was going to come true. But that did not happen. Rikishi’s son, Jimmy Uso also made a return and helped Reigns and Cody Rhodes pick up the win.

“So I thought, man, it’s gonna happen right now. In my mind, I said, ‘This would be the perfect time for Cody to switch up.’ So now you switch up, you have Cody and Roman come back, and boom, Roman’s already a babyface now. Boom, the belt drops to Roman, boom here comes The Rock. Now we can continue on. Still got a lot of people in The Bloodline, they can either do a WarGames or whatever the case may be. But I think for me, because Cody is sharp-dressed. He’s a babyface, but he’s one of those guys that you can hate real quick. When you see him on TV, his promos, almost like arrogant. He’s a nice guy, but arrogant,” Rikishi said.
