Roman Reigns still has an issue with major WWE name, says wrestling veteran, after SummerSlam 2024
Roman Reigns made several enemies in WWE when he conquered the company as The Tribal Chief. However, wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell believes the former Undisputed WWE Champion has unfinished business with Cody Rhodes after The Biggest Party of the Summer.
A few years ago, Cody Rhodes locked his eyes on the WWE Championship and spent years feuding with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, which led to The American Nightmare eventually finishing his story. Unfortunately, the second-generation star isn't done with The Bloodline just yet as he has been feuding with the group's new iteration under Solo Sikoa's leadership for months.
Speaking on Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the veteran discussed Cody Rhodes' title reign and storylines under Triple H's leadership. Mantell stated that Roman Reigns still has issues with The American Nightmare and it could lead to more things in the coming months heading into WrestleMania 41.
"By having Roman Reigns show up at SummerSlam, there are several stories that haven't been told. Roman still has an issue with Cody [Rhodes]. Now, he has a double-pointed angle. He's got one with the rest of the family, and he has one with Cody (...) So, this has a lot of doors leading in and out and that'll easily take them to WrestleMania," Mantell said.

Roman Reigns won't confront Jacob Fatu for a while after WWE SummerSlam 2024 - Reports
Roman Reigns' return shattered social media numbers for the Stamford-based company and Solo Sikoa immediately paid the price for months and months of tyranny on Friday Night SmackDown with his version of The Bloodline.
However, The Original Tribal Chief didn't lock horns with Jacob Fatu who was injured after a table spot on Cody Rhodes. According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio (WOR), the company won't let them clash in the ring anytime soon.
Moreover, he stated a match with Solo Sikoa was the priority before Reigns faced The Samoan Werewolf. On the recent edition of WWE SmackDown, The Original Tribal Chief attacked Solo Sikoa's Bloodline without Jacob Fatu.
