Roman Reigns is no longer a titleholder. The Tribal Chief was defeated by Cody Rhodes at WWE WrestleMania 40 Night 2 this past Sunday, marking the end of his historic 1,316-day reign as Universal Champion. WWE WrestleMania 40 closed with Rhodes celebrating alongside WWE legends like John Cena, Randy Orton, CM Punk and others while Reigns slowly retreated to the back alongside manager Paul Heyman.
"It's not completing the story. It's just getting to the end of this chapter, because he's gonna go on a whole new story now that is going to blow people's minds," Triple H said."I know he's going to take it to a whole other level. I can't tell you how much respect I have for Roman Reigns." Reigns leaves Lincoln Financial Field without championship gold around his waist for essentially the first time in this Tribal Chief persona. He was crowned WWE Universal Champion just one week into his singles heel turn back in August 2020. In the four years since, every Reigns storyline has revolved around the title he was holding.
The natural next step for Reigns is to stand opposite The Rock in their long-awaited familial clash. Reigns vs. Rock was originally supposed to go down at WWE WrestleMania 39 before plans fell through. WWE got close to running it at this year's WWE WrestleMania 40 but fans pushed for the story to remain Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes.
