Cody Rhodes failed to dethrone Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 39 (Night Two).
On a recent edition of his “Tuesday with the Taskmaster” podcast, Kevin Sullivan explained why it’s a “great idea” for Rhodes to never win the WWE Championship, just like his late father Dusty Rhodes. Sullivan said,
“That’s a great idea. Because his father never got the WWF belt. They always show that picture where he has the belt. That’s something to think about, and I was against Cody beating Roman Reigns. I was very vocal about that because — I think I told you, Paul, a few weeks ago — that was right after Sami didn’t beat Roman. I thought Sami’s people would’ve turned on Cody because he’d just come in, he didn’t get over. He was Cody Rhodes and he got over, and it’s because he had been there for years, left, made a huge name for himself, came back. I thought if he had won here, it would almost look like he was a corporate champion. I like that he didn’t go over and it’s going to be interesting to see where they go with WrestleMania 40 with Cody if The Rock comes in for Roman.”
On a recent edition of the “Bleav in Pro Wrestling” podcast, Chelsea Green discussed Sonya Deville’s recent injury and how she is “counting the months” until her return.
Green and Deville held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships prior to the injury. Piper Niven claimed Deville’s title after the latter was written off.
Green said, “We have such a history together, coming up through ‘Tough Enough’, and I’ve supported her along the way. I’ve been watching her do all these amazing things, but not be able to actually grasp a championship. So for her to finally win her first championship in eight years, for me to come back and after all these years of putting in work on the independent scene and in other companies, I was able to do this, to win this alongside her, it was such a full-circle moment, and then for that to happen, it’s like, ‘God, why?’ But on the same hand, whatever is meant to be will be, and I am counting down the months until Sonya can come back and show the world how strong she is. We have seen her be strong in so many different areas of wrestling and outside of wrestling. We’ve seen her go through a lot. We’ve never seen her face an injury and come back. I really think she’s gonna come back even better. Don’t tell Piper I said any of this because Piper and I, we like to pretend that that side of me doesn’t exist.”

Cody Rhodes Fails to Dethrone Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39
In the highly anticipated main event of WrestleMania 39 (Night Two), Cody Rhodes fell short in his attempt to dethrone Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Despite putting up a valiant effort, Rhodes was unable to secure the victory and claim the championship title.
The outcome of the match has sparked discussions among wrestling fans and experts about the future of Rhodes and whether he should ever win the WWE Championship. One notable voice in this conversation is Kevin Sullivan, who shared his thoughts on the matter during a recent episode of his podcast, “Tuesday with the Taskmaster.”
Sullivan expressed his belief that it is a “great idea” for Rhodes to never win the WWE Championship, drawing a parallel to his late father, Dusty Rhodes. Dusty Rhodes, a legendary figure in professional wrestling, never held the WWF belt despite his immense popularity and success in the industry.
Sullivan argued that if Cody Rhodes were to win the championship, it could potentially undermine his credibility and make him appear as a “corporate champion.” He praised Rhodes for his ability to get over with the audience, attributing it to his years of experience, departure from WWE, and subsequent rise to stardom before returning to the company.
The discussion surrounding Rhodes’ potential championship win also took into account the recent match between Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns. Sullivan speculated that if Rhodes had defeated Reigns, it might have resulted in backlash from Zayn’s fans, considering Zayn’s unsuccessful attempt at dethroning Reigns prior to Rhodes’ match.
Looking ahead, Sullivan expressed curiosity about how WWE would handle Rhodes’ storyline leading up to WrestleMania 40, particularly if Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson were to make an appearance. The inclusion of The Rock in Rhodes’ narrative could potentially add a new layer of intrigue and excitement to the upcoming event.
In another wrestling-related news, Chelsea Green, in an interview on the “Bleav in Pro Wrestling” podcast, discussed her former tag team partner Sonya Deville’s recent injury and her own aspirations for a return to the ring. Green and Deville held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships before Deville’s injury forced her to relinquish the title.
Reflecting on their shared history, Green expressed her support for Deville and her admiration for the latter’s resilience and strength both inside and outside of wrestling. She emphasized the significance of Deville’s championship win after eight years of striving for it and expressed optimism about Deville’s eventual return, believing that she would come back even stronger.
Green also playfully mentioned her reluctance to acknowledge her sentimental side in front of their current titleholder, Piper Niven, who took over Deville’s position following the injury.
