Rhodes then shifted gears and brought up Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. He gave credit Reigns for his dominant reign and his status as the company’s top star; he even compared Reigns to LeBron James. But Rhodes stated that the rest of his life would begin at WrestleMania 39, where he will face Reigns, as he stated that Roman will still be “The Tribal Chief” and “The Head of the Table” after the show, but he will no longer be the champion.
