Cody Rhodes Responds To Roman Reigns’ Call Out After WWE Clash In Italy

Cody Rhodes has responded to Roman Reigns calling him out at the end of WWE Clash in Italy. Reigns took a pointed shot at Rhodes at the end of the PLE following his win over Jacob Fatu in Tribal Combat. The World Heavyweight Champion looked at the camera and said “QB1, f**k that noise,” a reference to the nickname Rhodes has for himself.

Rhodes was asked about Reigns’ comments on the WWE Clash in Italy post-show. He said that he hadn’t seen Reigns’ comments but that they both have a win over each other, so he can be added to the list for another match.

“So I actually didn’t [hear Reigns’ comments], but I heard you [Peter Rosenberg] say, ‘We’re gonna talk about it,” Rhodes said. “So you gotta be the messenger, what was it?”

After hearing the comment, Rhodes noted, “I think it’s a unique position for me to be in for me to say something negative or for him to say something negative about me. And it’s for the simple fact that he doesn’t have two wins over me, I don’t have two wins over him. He beat me once, and I beat his ass once.”

He continued, “So I don’t know. Add him to the list, because we said Gunther can get a rematch whenever he wants it, come and get it. Easy to find, hard to beat, that goes for Roman Reigns as well.”

After the post-show, WWE posted a video of Rhodes walking in the back. Reigns walked out of his locker room side room and the two stared at each other wordlessly before Rhodes walked on.

Rhodes retained the Undisputed WWE Championship at Clash in Italy with a win over Gunther, while Reigns defeated Jacob Fatu in Tribal Combat to hold onto the World Heavyweight Title.
