VIDEO: Cody Rhodes Electrifies WWE Live Event, Calls Out Brock Lesnar And Roman Reigns

Marietta, May 21, 2023 -Cody Rhodes fell short in his valiant effort against Roman Reigns at the grand spectacle of WWE WrestleMania 39, as he vied for the prestigious Undisputed WWE Universal Title. The outcome left the WWE Universe astounded, as many fervently believed that Rhodes would dethrone the mighty "Tribal Chief." ## With remarkable swiftness, Rhodes swiftly shifted gears and embarked on a compelling rivalry with none other than the formidable Brock Lesnar. In a stunning turn of events at the exhilarating Backlash event, Rhodes triumphed over "The Beast Incarnate," only to find himself entangled in a captivating rematch scheduled for the forthcoming Night of Champions, set to unfold next Saturday. ## Following an electrifying street fight against the enigmatic Finn Balor during a recent enthralling house show, Rhodes seized the moment to call out both Reigns and Lesnar, seizing upon an accidental promotional mention of the eminent competitors by WWE. ## “My theory is that the reason that Roman Reigns didn't want to be here is because he is afraid of me. And that theory also extends to my opponent at the Night of Champions, Brock Lesnar. I'll make you a promise. The next time I come back here, my promise is this. I hope to have defeated Brock Lesnar not just once but twice. And I also hope that I'll be wearing some gold around my waist. Thank you, guys, very much," Rhodes stated. ## Cody Rhodes called out Brock and Roman at last night's #WWEFayetteville pic.twitter.com/tlcLuSB5d3— Andrew Ravens (@Andrew_Ravens) May 21, 2023 ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Roman Reigns Proves His Ticket-Selling Power As WWE Accidentally Promotes Him For Live Event

Pensacola, May 20, 2023 - Roman Reigns once again demonstrated his immense drawing power for WWE this week, as evidenced by an accidental advertisement for his appearance at a house show. Initially, it was announced that the incomparable WWE Universal Champion would grace the stage in Fayetteville, NC, marking his long-awaited return to the city after a hiatus of over four years. WWE even invested in radio advertising to build anticipation around Reigns' presence, underscoring his significance to the event. ## Regrettably, on Wednesday, WWE issued a statement indicating that Reigns would not be making an appearance, offering refunds to ticket holders until 7:30 p.m. on the day of the show. WWE attributed the mix-up to the promotional team receiving outdated information regarding Reigns' schedule before it was revised. ## Following Reigns' signing of a lucrative new deal with WWE last year, his reduced workload became apparent, primarily focusing on television and PLE events while sparingly participating in house shows. As his transition to Hollywood looms on the horizon, Reigns is expected to work even fewer dates moving forward. ## According to Dave Meltzer's latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, prior to Reigns' inadvertent advertisement, WWE had sold an impressive 3,816 tickets for the event. Astonishingly, upon the announcement of Reigns' absence, ticket sales surged to 4,521 within a matter of days, reflecting the remarkable impact Reigns has on generating interest and attendance even for a house show. ## Looking ahead, Reigns is prominently featured in upcoming marquee events such as Night of Champions on May 27, where he will team up with Solo Sikoa to face off against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn for the highly coveted Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles. Additionally, Reigns is slated for appearances at SmackDown on June 30, Money in the Bank on July 1, and the grand spectacle of SummerSlam in August. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
