Jim Ross Explains Why Cody Rhodes’ WrestleMania 39 Loss Was The Right Decision

Jim Ross recently talked about a wide range of topics on his Grilling JR podcast. 

During the podcast, the AEW announcer explained why he thinks WWE made the right call by having Roman Reigns go over Cody Rhodes to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania 39. 

“I like the longer story, to be honest with you,” Ross said. “It really doesn’t have anything to do with Cody as much as it does with storytelling. The chase that he can embark upon, if done properly, can be extremely successful for Cody and WWE.”

“I understand the disappointment. I’m not criticizing it whatsoever,” Ross added. “I just think that this long-term arc to get him back to the promised land is the way to go. It’s good storytelling, especially for a company that produces five hours of big-time live television a week… They need stories that have a direction and a purpose and a reason, and there’s certainly plenty of reason to promote the eventual return match.”
