He has also unified two top WWE titles at WrestleMania 38 last year. On the other hand, Cody Rhodes is also preparing his best for the biggest match of his career so far. The big question remains whether Rhodes’ effort is enough to beat the unbeaten Roman Reigns or whether the Tribal’s chief dominant reign continues.

The Roman Reigns era ending is just not fitting for all the good reasons. The 37-year-old has main evented 6 WrestleManias so far and is rightfully considered one of the best in the history of WWE. Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 31 turned one of the best from one of the worst real quick despite Roman Reigns and Lesnar both losing to Rollins. Finally, at WrestleMania 38, Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns faced each other, and it resulted in Reigns’s victory over Lesnar. Though the match was quite forgettable.

At WrestleMania 33, Roman Reigns defeated the Deadman. The WWE champion didn’t get the appropriate shine from beating the legend due to the Deadman’s decline over the years. However, the best Roman Reigns WrestleMania main event was WrestleMania 37, where he fought against Edge and Daniel Bryan and ended up defending his title against two of the toughest opponent.
