Cody Rhodes Wins WWE Undisputed Championship At WWE WrestleMania XL Reaction! | WrestleTalk Podcast

[@mhug86]

Cody kicking out of cross roads and Roman going "THAT move sucks! Can't finish anyone with THAT weak move" got me😂😂😂😂😂

[@709mash]

😅Roman’s in ring smack talk is some of the best ever.

[@varen3572]

Samantha’s voice breaking on the mic made it so much better

[@Youngjas17]

Ya it did i totally agree

[@rory4605]

Very true, and Michael Cole as well. I don't know what it is about seeing people cry who don't usually show emotion. Very touching.

[@subman23]

Really the only downside of watching these reaction streams is not hearing her

[@freiteez]

Her voice breaking on this and the Gunther/Sami match was perfect.

[@kieranchisholm4544]

She totally ruined it

[@cosmicvcosmic]

They lifted Cody up like they lifted Bret at WrestleMania 10🥲

[@Bayley4ever]

yeah that was a very old school move. They used to do it all the time back in the eighties.

[@keithunderwood8803]

They also lifted him up like they lifted up Dusty. After defeating Ric flair for the world heavyweight Championship.

“The dong is loose!” -Luke Owen, unironically.

[@hectorlagos8937]

Roman got booed like never before after he defeated Taker at Mania, Cena humiliated him during a promo, and Seth started his solo run basically by betraying The Shield. All nice touches from the past that came back to haunt Roman one last time, i liked it, nice touch

[@lifeasafanpodcast9529]

Plus seth taking the chair shot that was meant for cody😅😅

[@hectorlagos8937]

@@lifeasafanpodcast9529 that was a mistake by Roman, he could have finished Cody but he decided to fight his past instead.

[@chriskay1449]

@@hectorlagos8937 Yep. Roman lost because he couldn't let the past go.

[@Adam_Donley]

@@hectorlagos8937 I don’t blame him revenge is much better than retaining

[@happenable]

You can argue that all of that is his Supervillain origin story. The seeds of it was planted with Seth's betrayal but it was not the immediate cause. It was him getting booed and humiliate that led him to the dark side. And all of it came back to haunt him. Sometimes being a pro wrestling fan for a decade just pays off.

[@sonic5993]

Roman being the instrument to his own defeat is such a perfect way for him to go out. He couldn't let go of his hatred for Seth and it costed him everything.

[@theobadji6282]

[@shajiehussain1130]

The Sheild boys are obsessed with each other. Rollins lost the title because of his obsession with the bloodline and Reigns couldn't keep his hands off Rollins at the end

[@JrKdM]

​@@shajiehussain1130it really is one of the most long built stories, roman just never moved on from it and it fucked him mentally which seth knows, and it bit him on the ass

[@djgaben6187]

​@@shajiehussain1130Rollins giving up his chances of retaining the world title to help Cody (his Kayfabe enemy) defeat the bloodline is a beautiful bit of detailing. Cody has to have a moment where he thanks Seth. He was a man of his word

[@iamthewerebear4837]

Seth said he would be Cody’s shield…and he was. Amazing.

[@MarceldelLago2K]

The brilliance of the finale of this match... this wasn't the end of Cody's story... it was Roman's.

[@EngrPalits]

Roman smiling while pinned shows he's relieved that the weights has been lifted and who knows this might be his last match

[@calumbishop7082]

@@EngrPalits Eh, I could see Mania 41 be Roman vs Cody III, making it a trilogy. Also there is probably the inevitable Rock match. Another match against Seth. Maybe even a match where he does the job for Solo Sikoa. Some loose threads to tie up.

[@hectorlagos8937]

i see it as the end of Roman's era, simple as that. The past he had to defeat to become the Tribal Chief is what came back to cost him the title, from Seth betraying The Shield, to him being constantly compared to Cena as the new super babyface (and Cena humilliating him on the mic), to defeating Taker at Mania only for fans to boo him out the building (the same day he declared "this is my yard now"). All of those elements that finally fueled his persona to go heel and become the most dominant champion of this generation came back to haunt him and ultimately cost him the title, this is no longer his yard now.

[@jaredstivers]

​@hectorlagos8937 You forget Jay, standing up to Roman since he done being a puppet and Roman's mind control.

[@hectorlagos8937]

@@jaredstivers yeah! they could have even throw Sami into the mix too, it would have make sense. That's why i don't agree with the Stone Cold angle people was waiting for, it only makes sense for The Rock, but this was Roman story all along.

[@TheMuldoonFella]

Surely when The Shield music hit, I'm not the only one that thought, even for a second, Mox and Seth would come out 😂

[@ScrubTheNub]

Probably the greatest 12min stretch in Wrestlemania history. Pure cinema and fan service

[@LorenzoCVB]

Seth told Cody he would be his shield, and there he was to take the chair shot. Just pure cinema

[@Filmation77]

The "Undesirable to Undeniable " promo was Cody's version of Dusty's "Hard Times" promo And WM 40 was Cody's "Starrcade:The Gathering "

The Bloodline Saga has been one of the best stories the WWE ever told.

[@DanTheMan-qy9xp]

I really wanted Stone cold to come out. But I’m happy regardless

I was a tiny bit disappointed that it wasn't Stone Cold but I was way more surprised when I heard the gong. Still a fantastic moment in a tremendous match.

[@DanTheMan-qy9xp]

@@Mattador666me too although I was thinking what has he got to do with this😂 straight after

[@mpho_the_warrior]

Maybe Austin will return on Raw?

[@dysfynnction]

I think they simply couldn't do it, but Taker is the ultimate replacement. He is literally WrestleManias 'final boss', so for him to be the guy and the catalyst that dominates The Rock carrying a similar gimmick is amazing.

[@infiniteparadox]

Hearing Austin was under the weather. And to think of it, Taken has been at odds with so many of the Bloodline family - Yokozuna, Rikishi, Rock, Roman

[@michaelsinger4638]

Roman lost because he couldn’t let go of his grudge against Seth for betraying him 10 years ago. Seth is still in his head even now.

[@shajiehussain1130]

And Seth lost because of his title and his first main event because of his obsession with the bloodline. They're all in each other heads

[@years-ti7xl]

Who could've thought that all it took for Roman to lose the title was his past with the Shield.

[@crewkid52]

[@DragonHeart613]

Cody Rhodes' whole journey has completely come full circle. From Undesirable to Undeniable to WWE Champion! Long Term Storytelling at its finest. Cody & Roman closed out Wrestlemania in epic style. If last night was Infinity War than tonight was indeed Endgame! Jey, Seth, even Cena & Undertaker all showing up to aid Cody, Avengers Assemble!!! The deafening pop when Cody finally pinned Roman 1-2-3, a teary-eyed Charles Robinson handing the title to Cody. Samantha Irvin all choked up with emotion as she declared Cody the new WWE Champion. All of Cody's friends, allies & family celebrating with him. Finally fulfilling his promise by putting the title in his mom's hands in honor of The American Dream himself Dusty Rhodes. Cody's speech. Cody & Triple H together. Magical, Simply Magical. Congrats Cody. You deserve it. You earned it. You did it👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 WWE is truly back. We are really seeing a brand new Golden Age. Long Live The Renaissance Era!!!

“We’re in the Endgame now…”

[@ryanmarshall3487]

Watching Luke and Sat have to keep grabbing each other with each huge moment is actually, very adorable.

[@arvindshastry1178]

This match also finishes Roman's story, he never got the chance to take the revenge for Shield's breakup but now he has done that.

[@hothotheat3000]

Pyrrhic victory for Roman. He got his mitts on Seth and it cost him everything.

[@UltimateHikikomori]

The chair shot was my favourite spot in the whole thing. It captured the paranoia of roman, it was 10 years in the making, it made seths involvement in the story so worth it, and it fits with the distraction themed story elements the wrestler who were involved in the male main titles were involved in. Of the four people, who were involved in championship matches, Seth was distracted by the Story of Cody, Drew was distracted by Punk, Roman was distracted by Seth.. the only one who was focused, even though he could've been distracted by Rock, and left with a title, was cody. This chairshot will be my favourite wrestlemania moment of all time

Cody's revenge arc from last year The Bloodline Saga Rock vs Cena Roman vs Cena Solo vs Cena Undertaker vs Rock Undertaker vs Roman The Shield's story Dusty's Dream These are just some of the stories that were referenced in this match. It was not just a simple fan service it all meant something. It had layers and reminds you how being a pro wrestling fan can be rewarding.

[@dani-ell-ah]

I saw a Twitter thread saying that Rollins did exactly what he intended to do. He got himself and a chair in the ring and that was the moment Roman was done because Seth knew him well enough to know what he would do next. He told Cody he would be his shield and kept his word and the tie back to Drew telling him he would only ever be as great as he thought he was when he learned to sacrifice for something bigger than himself.

[@patrickmcgavin2245]

The best part was when Luke forgot WWE changed the name of Cena's finisher years ago. Luke called it the FU. It would have been better if it were Stone Cold to slay the rock. Bc of their history, especially their history at Wrestlemania.

[@WolfsGamingBlog]

I think they went with Cena due his role in Romans past, just like with Undertaker, Jey and Seth
