Chris Jericho, in his first book, wrote about how one should never bury one’s opponents. He stated that making your opponent look weak only ends up making you look weak, for if you beat a weak opponent, you’ve just beaten a loser, but if you end up staring at the lights instead, then you’ve just lost to a loser. So, he must have felt really proud hearing Cody Rhodes put Roman Reigns over as the greatest champion of this generation.

Cody Rhodes explains why Roman Reigns is the greatest champion of this generation
During a recent interview with Out of Character, Cody Rhodes heaped praise on Roman Reigns. He opened up with a hint of insecurity, stating that this was his first WrestleMania main event in comparison to Reigns who was on his seventh.
He called the feat a dynasty and dubbed his WrestleMania opponent the greatest of this generation.
“This is Roman’s seventh? That’s a dynasty. That is an absolute dynasty,” Cody Rhodes said. “That is the greatest champion of you and my generation on paper. Now, you can have you opinions and all that, but on paper, no one is topping him. No one,”
The American Nightmare added that he was under pressure because of the magnitude of the event while this was just a regular day for Reigns. However, he vowed not to succumb under it while adding that he believed this was “gonna be one of the biggest and best matches bell to bell of all time.”
He also admitted that there was a real possibility of him coming out of that match without a title around his waist. However, he wanted to walk into the ring with no doubt that he had done everything he could to prepare for the match as an athlete.
