Instead, Jey decided to superkick The Tribal Chief, and The Usos went to war against the remaining members of The Bloodline. Last night, Roman Reigns got pinned for the first in over three years, and fans couldn't believe that.

Roman Reigns will reportedly have a massive rematch against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40 for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship
Earlier this year, Cody Rhodes returned from injury and won the Men's Royal Rumble match at the event. He went after Roman Reigns and the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, as it was the only title available in the company at the time.
The two stars headlined the Show of Shows this year. Unfortunately, Solo Sikoa's interference allowed The Tribal Chief to capitalize and retain his titles at the event. According to a new report from WOR, Reigns vs. Rhodes is in the works for WrestleMania 40.
"His [Cody Rhodes] storyline is that the belt that his father didn’t win – which is apparently Roman's belt – that's the one that's the story. So basically, he almost has said it's next year's WrestleMania, which is the plan right now," reported Dave Meltzer.
It will be interesting to see how Rhodes will once again come face-to-face against The Tribal Chief, as both stars are on different brands.
