On the latest episode of SmackDown, Cody Rhodes confronted Roman Reigns and said that he wants the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. He said that he not only wanted the title but also looks to take everything from him. Cody then said that he is coming for Roman Reigns and the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, but not at WrestleMania 40.

As the fans got confused, Cody said that he had heard from his friends, family, and veterans about his decision. And finally heard from a special council, who knows Roman Reigns very well and it was found out to be The Rock. The Rock came out, shook hands with Cody Rhodes, hugged him and had a deep stare with Roman Reigns. As the fans were angry with Cody Rhodes booking for dumping Cody Rhodes, a recent backstage report reveals the details behind Cody’s booking direction.
