Wrestling veteran details huge flaw in Cody Rhodes' demand for a rematch (Exclusive)
Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently discussed the problem with Cody Rhodes demanding a rematch from Roman Reigns on the latest episode of RAW.
Roman Reigns came out on the Monday Night show flanked by the rest of The Bloodline. The champ was in a jubilant mood as he addressed fans in the Crypto.com arena. However, The Tribal Chief was interrupted by The American Nightmare, who asked for a rematch
This week on Legion of RAW, Russo mentioned that during the Attitude Era, if a big rematch was announced or discussed, it would happen on that same show.
The veteran felt that WWE was hyping the audience with the idea of a rematch between Roman and Cody and then letting them down with a tag team match instead.
"When Cody Rhodes says, he wants a rematch tonight, during the Attitude Era, you could bet your tuchus it was happening tonight. You could bet your tuchus it was happening tonight because if it wasn't happening tonight, we wouldn't have said that. They're teasing a rematch and then you're gonna totally screw the crowd with a tag team match. I don't understand that." [From 6:25 - 6:57]
