The outcome of the main event of WrestleMania 39 Night 2 has been met with a lot of criticism from the WWE Universe. WWE’s YouTube upload of the WrestleMania match amassed a huge number of dislikes. Although Cody Rhodes was considered to be the underdog, fans wanted to see him dethrone the Tribal Chief. Moreover, Cody Rhodes was hyped to the level that had the fans thinking they’d see a new World Champion at the end of the night. But, Roman Reigns, once again, found a way to perpetuate his lengthy reign as the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion.
Make no mistake, Cody Rhodes delivered a stellar performance. But, the numbers game from The Bloodline eventually cost Rhodes the chance to realize the American Dream.
In the lead-up to WrestleMania, The American Nightmare expressed his desire to be the first “Rhodes” to ever hold the World Title. However, WWE Creative had other plans for Rhodes.

At this point, some fans even believe WWE is trying to bury Cody Rhodes. Well, not only is Rhodes the fan-favorite, but he is also the biggest babyface in the promotion.
By the looks of it, WWE will seemingly continue to have Rhodes chase the title. Ending Roman Reigns’ record-setting World Title reign is no low-hanging fruit. But Rhodes will fulfill his dreams eventually.
