It’s no secret that everyone had their eye on the main event of WrestleMania 39 between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. The WWE Universe wanted to know if Rhodes would finish his story or if Reigns will continue his unbreakable streak. However, the result is in front of everyone now. But what many of the fans must have missed was a rare clip of The Undertaker breaking his kayfabe to show Rhodes some love before his important match. 

One who follows WWE and its backstage world would know how much The Deadman is fond of The Tribal Chief. He has consistently supported and praised the latter during his wrestling career. Although one cannot forget that the 58-year-old has also fallen prey to The Enforcer’s dangerous moves at WrestleMania 33. But still then, when Reigns won against Brock Lesnar in WrestleMania 38, The Undertaker praised him. But this backstage footage shows something entirely different.

In the video, one can see The Indestructible Force breaking kayfabe and giving out a wide smile to Rhodes. He also asked him, “Ready to rock?” Along with him, there was the former WWE Women’s Champion, Michelle McCool, who hugged The Prince of Pro Wrestling, wishing him luck before his main event.  

After encountering this, fans might also question the WWE Hall of Famer about his priorities between The Big Dog and The American Nightmare. However, despite his closeness with the Samoan family, The Undertaker wished to feud with the Head of the Table.

The Phenom expressed his wish to feud with Roman Reigns

Even though it’s shocking to the core, it’s true. Being in the wrestling business for so long, The Phenom knows to differentiate between a usual wrestler and a top talent. Thus, it took him no time to find out how good of a heel Roman Reigns is.

Keeping that in mind, he once publicly announced his wish of going against him in the ring. He said, “I wish I had the gas in the tank to work a program with him now. It would definitely be something special.”

Even though it’s not looking like anything of this sort is possible in the future, to imagine the two greatest heels feuding against each other, it’s a great pleasure in itself.
