SUMMARY
- Roman Reigns recently appeared on The Pat McAfee Show.
- During his appearance on the show, The Tribal Chief took shots at Cody Rhodes, and CM Punk.
Roman Reigns is set to defend his Undisputed Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40, and it’s arguably the biggest match of his entire career. With the whole Cody Rhodes storyline at its peak, the majority of people believe that The American Nightmare is going to win this time at The Show of Shows.
Despite the fan support for Rhodes, The Tribal Chief hasn’t put a step behind and recently made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. During the interview, Roman didn’t hold himself back and spoke about the AEW run of his WrestleMania opponent. He said, “Cody was off doing who cares, a whole lotta nothing. He saw what we were doing in WWE and he wanted to be a part of that.”
This itself was surprising to many, as no one would have thought that The Bloodline Leader would be dragging Cody’s All Elite Wrestling career. But what raised even more eyebrows was that Roman also took a slight dig at Dwayne Johnson in his Pat McAfee interview.
“Cody Rhodes is just a chapter in the big book..
I’m the head of the greatest wrestling dynasty to ever exist..
I’m the only guy that didn’t have to go to Hollywood.. Hollywood came to me” @WWERomanReigns #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/2NExdACOZE

Talking about how Cody is just a chapter in the big book of his professional career, The Head of the Table praised himself. But then he suddenly turned his attention towards the entertainment world and said, “I’m the only guy that didn’t have to go to Hollywood. Hollywood came to me.” (Via- X)
It’s true that before saying these exact words, Roman was about to mention Dwayne Johnson, but he didn’t. Despite Reigns refraining from mentioning his cousin, fans have figured out that this was probably a reference to The Rock’s ongoing WWE run. It obviously means that this was a dig at The Brahma Bull, and fans have been left confused by this.
Roman Reigns shockingly dragged CM Punk into the conversation
It’s true that Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns was the obvious feud to focus on during the podcast, and Roman did so by taking shots at his WrestleMania 40 opponent. But Cody wasn’t the only guy Reigns talked about, as The Tribal Chief shockingly dragged CM Punk into the conversation on Pat McAfee’s show.

The Bloodline Leader said, “I’m not like CM Punk, who gets to the top of the mountain and says oh it’s not what I expect so I’m a bitch about it.” Such remarks about The Straight Edge Superstar have left fans really shocked, and they believe that this might be the start of a future feud between the two mega stars of the Triple H-led promotion.
Roman Reigns also made some surprising comments on Michael Cole
As Punk is still out of action, Roman’s rivalry with the veteran may begin after a while. But it’s important to point out that Roman Reigns also made some surprising comments about Michael Cole. The Tribal Chief did so after McAfee started talking about how Cole used to hype John Cena after his return to feud with Roman Reigns.
As Pat said so, The Head of the Table didn’t hesitate and made a shocking remark about the legendary WWE commentator. Taking a shot at Michael, Roman referred to him as di*krider, which was pretty surprising to most of the fans. With Reigns’ recent interview with Pat McAfee, the hype for his WrestleMania match has gone even higher.

As Roman is set to team up with Dwayne Johnson for a tag match at night 1 against Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes, it remains to be seen what happens in that bout. But, it’s obvious that the biggest question in the industry is if he can retain his title at WrestleMania 40, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens at The Show of Shows in Philadelphia.
