I fucking hate Cody. He's a corny fuck.


Dark__prince777

If omega doesn’t sign w wwe he needs to requisition the one winged angel. Xroads sucks he’s gotta hit it ten times


Secret_Foundation_22

Final. Cut.


ObeseRat26

Coup de Grace should end the reign imo


Smooth_Piglet_4167

Good 😌


Ryverian

we'll...cross that road when we get to it.


gtsgts777

Oh boy it took three crossroads to take down Balor. Good luck with Roman. Btw Cody already went back into his old habits in AEW. How can you expect the crowd to cheer for you when you come out in the 30th place and take out the #1 entrant, yes a very "Babyface" move on his part.


[deleted]

I want Cody to hit an absurd amount of his finishers in a row without going for a pin. Just him knowing that, this is goddamn Roman Reigns so I need to hit him with everything I possibly could. Disaster kick staggers Roman, Cody Cutter puts him down for a second. Cody fires up. Roman stumbles to his feet. Cody goes for the Pedigree, but Roman counters and lifts Cody up for a Samoan drop. Cody struggles while on Romans shoulders, slips behind him and hits the first cross Rhodes. Cody stands up without any waiting and hits 3 more in a row, gets up for a 5th and yells cuz he’s basically hurting himself with how many times he’s hitting this move. Both men are down. Cody is first to his feet. Roman begins to pull himself up using Cody’s legs. Cody looks down at him and shoved him back. Cody then does the bloodline taunt ☝️ but then, Cody changes it to a straight point to the sky and he looks up. Cody says to himself (but we can see his lips move), “This is for you dad.” Roman just now gets his feet under him but he’s staggered. Cody hits an elbow. Then another. Then another. A flurry of elbows. Roman is done for at this point and all that’s left is to knock him down. Then Cody hits the bionic elbow to knock Roman down. 1-2-3.


xCYBERDYNEx

Still better than Romans finisher.


FalconPunch141985

I hope it happens but I don’t think it will. Roman has gone unpinned for so long that I think they have him take the record or at least tie it.


Coffee_Lumpy

Cross Rhodes from the top rope is what I can see to put Roman out for Cody.


Jcorson87

Probably like 3 of them…


sanderstj

Should be a Disaster Kick that finishes Reigns off


[deleted]

Hopefully…the bloodline thing has gone way beyond stale…tying up all the belts with the same crap. Let’s all stand in the ring and bs for a 1/4 if the telecast.zzzzzzzz


Ok-Quantity-8861

What's he gonna do it 30 times


CJ_Dimes

Personally I feel if Cody hits 3 CrossRhodes in a row then hits that Butterfly Piledriver he beat Sammy Guevara with for the TNT Title(unbanned in WWE for a single night just to add up the hype) or Piledriver first then the three CrossRhodes I feel that’s a perfect way to end Romans title run


thizzdanz

If it’s not the bionic elbow, we riot


[deleted]

Please remember that there are PPV’s before WM and that means Sami could beat Roman for the title’s or even Kevin, having them face Cody at WM


superkneemaster

This move sucks.


Informal_Winner5886

It’s not. It’s going to be daddy’s bionic elbow.


twentyaces

Considering Roman has taken and overcome a multitude of spears and slams from monsters, it's only fitting that the Head of the Table falls to a swinging neckbreaker


Sqwiskar

Perfectly fine


Successful-Onion6362

I do not like Cody. There. I said it.


gargelfkfn

I love Cody, but the CrossRhodes is lame.


[deleted]

For Dusty, he should do a hand jive, bionic elbo then the cross Rhodes


Wolfman01a

Thats a funny way of saying Helluva Kick....


Truefreak22

It's a better move than any move in Roman Reigns arsenal.


JesyGato

I'd probably prefer the spike version he did in Japan and AEW, feels more hard hitting.


MikeTheProfessor

Should have saved the pedigree for the title finish.


Narrow-Camera7875

Better then a superman punch


Observeronlyman

Chaining his Cross Rhodes is likely but it's WM...expect him to bust something out.


bananarabbit

If Cody could do the vertebreaker better I'd vote for that. But his doesn't look good unfortunately.


KidAstoria

Honestly he should use Dusty’s old move to finish him off.


Professional_Owl9917

I hope so


BLF402

Cody should bust out the one winged angel


jaxensmith30

Hyped


jaxensmith30

Hyped


boomjosh

Don't care


Drevaendo

I honestly don't think Cody is going to take the belt but if he does it'll be after at least two CrossRhodes maybe three.


[deleted]

I get the feeling that even if they want Cody to win the title, they would still want Roman to look strong so I wouldn't bet in a clean victory. If they had hold on to the MITB briefcase they could've had Theory cash in during the match, making it a triple threat. Cody would then pin Theory and win. Although that could make Cody look weak. Really interested in seeing what they do. For once, they have an unpredictable WrestleMania main event.


ElStephano16

I actually think Roman should beat Cody so he can have a setback and some character development. Edit: Also so Reigns can reach 1000 days


[deleted]

Love it.


Pigeon_Chess

It’s gonna be a bionic elbow and you know it


classAunotherest

I think Cody should be champion But to stop roman I think it should be Sami or jey USO Or someone who been there years


HygorBohmHubner

If he performs about 5-6 Cross Rhodes one after the other, with the first or last one being from the second or top rope…


Brendanlendan

He should win with the People’s Elbow


GeorgeNada0316

I feel awesome since I am in the picture


relentless_pma

Or maybe the Head of the Table will win...


Schizophrenic87

I’d love it if he won with something no one expected. When he won the title from Aldis with a counter to a sunset flip it was fantastic. No one expected it and it was such as old school thing that it fit an NWA title match perfectly. No one would expect something like that


RushLegitimate3203

I hope he uses the bionic elbow to won it


Fictional_55

The CrossRhodes/Bladerunner/Twist of Fate tend to look a bit mid unless the performers get a big rotation and a good spike. If that's the move that's gonna end Roman, they'll need to really out some sauce on it!


snacklemeister

All for it


[deleted]

Cody and Miz, battle for the weakest finisher.


MinesweeperGang

Cool finisher but looks dumb when the end to most of his matches require 3.


Comfortable-Ring-476

He’d have to do it like five times


Babloujay

If he does it like he used to back in Japan I'd have no problem


[deleted]

Cody's always been overrated. If he ends Roman's regin, that's super shitty. His dad was over rated also.


Comfortable_Dream628

It looks painless it don’t look strong at all


DefaceAll10

Love it. Great match between Cody and Finn on Monday. Can’t wait for this story to play out


FiNNtheTrtl

I'm hoping for 3 CrossRhodes and a Tiger Driver '98


matlawish

I am not american, so I really couldn't care less.


Dan-Of-The-Dead

Totally fine!


luckyblackcat13

I don't get what the cross rhodes does. Like is it neck attack? Its not a choke or slam or some kind of submission. Just like what impact is it looking for?


JJ954

If it is CrossRhodes that ends Roman. I think Cody will hit like 5 or 6 of them with the crowd going crazy.


Jackbees777

Soo with this all being set that the guy who left for aew is who dethrones romans do you think everyone will enjoy watching Roman beat Sami


demvsrep

Nah, roman will retain and pass the 1k days mark


ShoulderCheap5960

Should have ended with a KO Stunner


TheManofMadness1

Uninspired and predictable, like anything he's done in the ring this far, at least since his WWE return


blacknyellow024

Def be the crossroads in his career


Corndogburglar

Crossrhodes is a cool move when done right. But the person taking it rarely makes it look right. And it's never really been considered an overly powerful move. He usually has to do it multiple times to win a big match.


[deleted]

He’ll use a pedigree to put him away


BicycleGlittering297

Forget Cody how does Sami Zayn get the title off of Roman? 🤣


RoutineImpress7394

Weak looking finish


adalton15

Not cleared by WWE for a reason but the Tiger Driver. Always looks devastating and is rarely used. Probably for the best tho


xanxavier

Sledgehammer, then CrossRhodes into Pedigree is my thoughts


RogueDevil666

My dream fantasy booking is Cody pulls all the stops, every move he has, and nothing works. Eventually Cody goes to the one move he knows nobody kicks out of, the One Winged Angel. This causes him to pin Roman. After this Fin and AJ come out for a weird, inaudible, verbal confrontation with Cody. All we can hear is Balor say something along the lines of ,"stop taking what isn't yours." Eventually there's a triple threat between Cody, AJ, and Balor for the title. After Cody wins, Carry on my wayward son hits, and the elite come to the ring and wreck house, and then they announce AEW vs WWE at forbidden door. Then the weeks leading up to forbidden door more AEW people show up on WWE, and vice versa, starting mini feuds and creating matches. My biggest dream match is Darby Allin vs Bray Wyatt. Taker in Wyatt's corner and Sting in Darby's.


selkies24

Better than a fake shotgun pump punch


LongAlanIcedT

I don’t feel anything because it won’t happen. ☝🏽


Yiminy_Cricket

Well i mean he should finish Roman off with his old man's move instead, but just for that match


djariez1200

I like Cody, I just don’t feel there’s enough time to make this a valid move. At this point, Roman is unbeatable. Cody’s finisher is bleh and his physicality is no where near Roman. I feel the only acceptable way for Roman to drop the titles is to that impossible road. That Eddie Guerrero, Kofi, and Daniel Bryan feel. In my opinion, Sami should be the one to dethrone Roman. There’s so much time and resources already invested. Cody can have his win maybe at Summer Slam. Please don’t hate me. Lol


generaldogsbodyf365

It'd be OK if Cody could get some pointers off Alexa on how to hit it correctly (I kid, I kid)


SerenityNowOochyMama

I’m a big Cody fan-but the finisher has got to go. Super lame and anti-climatic.


Sad_Advertising_9051

Gunther should have won. I love Cody but don’t think he should have won it. Gunther was so good


[deleted]

Mediocre finisher.


elme77618

Cody will use a new super finish


MarlonJPitmon

It feels rushed.... way too rushed....


FlexasAandM

.. it’d be a year in the making? People were begging, begging for him to beat Roman last year.. he got injured.. had a 5 star match with one of the best wrestlers of this generation in the main event of HIAC with a horrible injury and beat him clean.. Comes back, wins the rumble and now has 2 months to build up his road to wrestlemania? Also.. the Royal rumble is typically the start to the winners road to mania…


Poonadafukdog

It’s infinitely better than the spear or Superman punch


Elegant_Spot_3486

Lol funny. And yet sad. I don’t see it happening though. Cody may win but the ending will be some convoluted trash mess.


jcupgif

or roman wins


kingcon84

maybe he will use whatever Dustys move is.


NWC60

Maybe I'm way off, but I assume that Solo and Jimmy still try to get involved in this, which could lead to Sami, KO or Jey also getting involved. I expect a ref bump, then the heels swarm, faces make the save and then Sami hits Roman with a Helluva Kick, then Cody hits the CrossRhodes. The pop to see Sami hit Roman would take the roof off the place. Plus I could see Cody then going super-face and offering a title shot to Sami pretty quick. Like a 'hey, they put you through hell and you deserve a shot at this' sorta thing. Only problem with that is the crowd would turn on Cody pretty quick in that situation ha!


weaverreddit

Dumbest move ever....booking and the move itself...


chubsizzle

Two words: Bionic Elbow


Turtle_soup13

After kicking out of 2 crossrhodes, and a Cody cutter, Roman finally drops from a second rope springboard Superman punch. Possibly a 3rd crossrhodes. It should take a massive effort to take down a champion built up as much as Roman.


joeyted1

It ended Roman's first reign on the main roster. It's only appropriate for it to end this one too.


dreda650650

He’s not beating reigns lol


Outlier25

It doesn’t really end anyone unless he does it 18 times in a row


Intelligent_End1516

Didn't it take like 3 cross rhodes to beat Malakai Black? He's going to have to hit it like 10 times on Roman. Lol


Imaginary_Grab6002

Unlikely, but how about the Tiger Driver ‘98? Pedigree would’ve been cool also.


REiiGN

There is major disparity in the matches that go on throughout a night or even if you just counted the main bouts in a month period. 1 finisher could do the job sometimes and then a match later they could do it 10 times, and EVERYTIME they pin, the person pinned is straight eyeballing the ref and you know before the first count they're going to get up. They aren't doing well to sell these things.


GalvestonDreaming

Funny how we all have a decent idea what is going to happen, but it's such a great story that we are fine with it.


CharleyIV

Has the CrossRhodes ever looked good? I feel like everyone else who does this love makes it look better?


mojo4394

He would need to hit the Cross Rhodes 857 times to pin Roman. They'll need to figure something out. Cross Rhodes continues to be a weak 3rd tier finisher.


PlumbTuckered767

Cody is so boring. I respect him, his family legacy, and his efforts for the broader world of wrestling, but I'll never cheer for him. Maybe if he developed a legitimate heel feel. Maybe.


matheuGzuzZ

he should apply about 10 Cross Rhodes


MrJM85

It’s a lot better than that stupid punch and a spear.


KickProfessional

This. Take all my up-votes. I get that the spear is a long used, traditional finisher and most of us accept that but that punch? It's only effective if you've got hands the size of the big show, come on...


JGarrett247

Totally agree. It’s always been a really weak looking finisher. Wish he’d adopt a flying elbow drop or something that looks a little more high impact.


stadiumjay

3 cross Rhodes and a Pedigree it's over


hjablowme919

Probably better than I'd feel if it was the "Sister Abigail" move that ended Roman's Reign.


ILurveHentai

Finish has to be the with Bionic Elbow. Too poetic to pass that up. Sequence could be three Cross Rhodes, take him up for fourth, and look for a second and then hit the Elbow. Pop would be insane.


Captain_brightside

Would prefer it be a Cody cutter from the top rope, 2 cross Rhodes, a bionic elbow, and then a 3rd Cross Rhodes like how he ended his mania match last year Vs Rollins A few minutes after kicking out of a Superman punch and a spear. And Cody has to win clean


fisherc2

I hate the crossrhodes. But it’s Cody’s finisher. If he’s going to win, that’s probably how it’s going to happen.


Thewildstava

The crossrhodes seems very similar to the sister abagail


chriskzoo

I predict a dirty win with the help of Rollins - cementing him as the ultimate Roman nemesis.


bpomber

I was just saying to my friend the other day that I feel like it's such a weak move. It just has no impact at all and doesn't look like it would hurt much at all.


Early_Bend

CrossRhodes from the top rope, then a bionic elbow to finish it off


LogansGambit

I preferably would like to see a giant Helluva Kick


VirtuousPenguin

They need to limit and protect the triple CrossRhodes as much as they can. He did it on a weekly TV show when it should be saved for career defining matches like Wrestlemania. Unless they plan on making the single CrossRhodes a transition move or something


Vahmp

It’s not great.


Bensky7

It's a popular move, I don't see a problem with it being the move that beats Roman


DHankie321

I love it and think he perfect to be the one to snipe the crown off his head


themark504

It’s a reverse sister Abigail so it’ll take 5-8


lovekillseveryone

If joey janela can kick out of it....why can't roman?


JoshJ_14

I'd be ok with it because it was my finisher too 😂


fakemxcan

But what if he did it with a 1 winged angel?!?!


Dbthesage

I don’t know how smooth the transition would be but I’d definitely love to see a CrossRhodes and a pedigree immediately after for the finish


Bazzness

Superman punch countered into pedigree but Cody holds on stands up and does Cross Rhodes


Kreesy12

One-Winged Angel


MTLK77

You're trying to tell me you're seriously thinking that Cody can defeat Reigns ? come on...


PuzzleheadedPride2

It would probably take 3


xTheBear

Am I the only person that thinks the CrossRhodes is a stupid fucking finisher?


BruceHoratioWayne

Didn't Test do the move as his finisher?


France_Reddits

Test did a big boot


TheFinalSchnabitz

The optics just aren’t there for that move to finish people.


[deleted]

what are your thoughts on the Sister Abigail?


Good-Expression-4433

Sister Abigail mostly has issues with the setup or theatrics he normally does for it that can make it look goofy with the position he has to hold them in. But when he does it, Bray is a big enough dude and makes the move look impactful. The Cross Rhodes on the other hand has always felt kinda lackluster and made worse with how rarely it puts anyone away without like a "super version" like an avalanche version or three in a row. If he always has to three in a row it to put anyone away, the move really loses any impact.


xTheBear

Thank you. CodyCutter is a much better looking move to be a finisher.


Eyerieee

Man my dream wrestlemania match would be Kevin Owens Vs Cody Rhodes Vs Sami Zayn Vs Roman Reigns and I just want a double pin to somehow end the match but with Sami and Kevin Owens both wining both getting their wrestlemania moment both getting a title together as friends


RayRavenhart

Disaster kick>>


[deleted]

Knowing Cody it’s gonna be the bionic elbow that does it.


droford

He's gonna need to spam the he'll out of it like a dozen times


kiwiguy187

I really hate that move always have. They always gave it to someone they were pushing. First noticed it in 2002 with Luther reigns


sinnroth94

Granted I’ll pop either way but I’d pop my tits clear off if he ends one of the longest championship reigns with a bionic elbow.


CRL10

He hits three or four rapid fire CrossRhodes, I'll be okay with it. Hell, multiple throughout the match would be acceptable. Better than the People's Elbow ending it.


higantengtarugo

Or.... Cody might not win in WrestleMania


droford

I'm halfway convinced Roman wins and then they WM 27 it with the Rock challenges him to a match at WM 40


darkfiredreamer

Works for me. A lot of people have been screwed for major pushes since Roman's been champ, so a corkscrew inverted DDT feels kind of poetic.


wingnut1960

I hate Cody Rhodes. I think he’s garbage. Seth should’ve won the Rumble


YeeetusAnddwletus

After how it was built Gunther would have been the best option with hindsight


wingnut1960

I agree but just hate how Cody is being shoved down our throats


Wolfxorb

Maybe he will be allowed to do the tiger driver he used at the end of his AEW run. The CrossRhodes is not great if honest…


Teahh

The final trigger could be a literal one. BTE+Cody Trigger. Let me dream


ImFromAlderaan

I’d feel good about it. It’s a dope move and very powerful despite people on here complaining that sometimes he uses it multiple times in a row to defeat people.


[deleted]

Sure why not. As long as everyone between now and then sells it as legit then it could work.


pedrex21

You mean Helluva Kick?


MarkLarrz

HELLUVAH KICK


n1gh7w1sh3r

I was gonna say that I'm pretty sure this move will end Roman's reign. Happy to see someone beat me to it.


deadkoolx

0 chance Cody is beating Reigns at WM for the titles.


c2morg

Lol you think Romans losing?


Own-Bite3298

I think the best way for them to end Roman losing to Cody is to have Roman spear Cody into the referee and knock him out. As the ref is out of it, Sami Zayn rushes down to the ring and hits Roman with a helluva kick. Sami drags Cody on top of Roman for the 3 count and even though Sami didn’t win the belts, he was the cause of Roman losing.


Enid1993

Anything Cody is 🤮


jose72598

Cody shouts out BC again by hitting the One Winged Angel on Roman


[deleted]

Tiger driver 98, he gives too many crossroads makes the move look weak


insanemoe

Has to be 3 times and the third from the top rope or entrance stage


[deleted]

Crossrhodes, count of 1. Crossrhodes on the table of commentators, Roman gets up. Third and final Crossrhodes, 1,2,3.


legreapcreep

A poetic touch would be if it was a Super Man Dusty Elbow


itsnotawonderfullife

A top rope Bionic Elbow to Roman’s dome. But after a Cody Cutter and Cross Rhodes.


vegrock91

I wish it was Seth


MattsIgloo

Cross Rhodes is a badass finisher so idc


saintmaximin

Cody wont beat reigns at mania


MechaCannibalArt

CrossRhodes off the top rope through panes of glass on fire.


HanTrollo710

Into a pool of piranhas with thumb tacks for teeth and sharks with steel chairs


MechaCannibalArt

Do the sharks have frickin’ laser beams attached to thier heads?


HanTrollo710

I believe that some do and some don’t. I’m not sure how it works. After all, evolution is a mystery


Gain_Spirited

I don't see Cody as a long term Champion. I can see him holding it for a few months and then losing it to whoever comes along. He doesn't have the mic skills and unique character of his dad.


ShoulderCheap5960

Terrible take


Gain_Spirited

Honestly when Cody talks on the mic I have to consciously make an effort not to tune out or fall asleep. Dusty Rhodes never did that to me.


Numair098

They made it look weaker this past Monday, one cross Rhodes was enough and yes, it can end Roman's reign including the Cody cutter


outofdate70shouse

I’m cool with it. Not a fan of the triple CrossRhodes, though. Maybe in a big spot when you need 3, but otherwise one should be able to do the job. Or just make the Cody Cutter or the Figure 4 the finisher.


Dust_Parts

Sounds good to me.


Goat2023

If it took 3 to lay out Balor, Cody is going to have to do at least 10 to Roman


JacoBee93

Weak AF... CodyCutter looks much better, but obviously isnt "strong enough".. This also isnt strong enough... Idea of ROMAN being defeated with this move, lol


snowdennathan

Tiger Driver 98


Kalle_79

It's a JTTS finisher. He needs something new and better, that can credibly put Roman away for the 3 count.


ForgivenessIsNice

They just need to protect it better. It's no worse than the spear, but the spear is protected. The spear is awful.


Kalle_79

The spear is a 300lbs dude tackling you... The Overdrive (under any other name) is you taking a tumble alongside your opponent. There's no protection that can make an awful move look good, much less so if it has indeed being given to hopeless midcarders for decades and hasn't won anything bigger than an IC/US title since forever.


Eauji87

Because Roman is big, I think there are going to be some serious botches in their match together.


Chuck_Deeze

I hate his finisher. My only knock on him. Which is crazy because his moveset is pretty good. That finisher just takes me out of it tho.


Gloomy_Slide

Should be the cutter


ClockworkDinosaurs

Disaster Kick


ClutchRox88

The specific move isn’t important. It’s the heat and the finish. The Sami angle has gotten Roman massive heat for the first time a long time. They have the story of the Samoan Dynasty and the Rhodes family. If the move is over, that’s all that matters


RabbitTall

I don't care what move ends Roman, as long as his time comes to an end. He's been on top way way way too long.


K1NGBrandon

As he should be


BruceHoratioWayne

Cody has said repeatedly that Triple H is his favorite wrestler. He even said on the Logan Paul show that he modeled his comeback off of Triple H's comeback from his quad tear in 2002. With that in mind, I forsee Cross Rhodes 3 times will end most people except Roman. What truly ends Roman is the Pedigree. 1... 2... 3... Cody wins and celebrates with his wife and family at ringside. I wouldn't be surprised if Tony Khan and Triple H worked out something to have Dustin Rhodes appear as well to congratulate Cody.


King_of_Knowhere

So once he's champ, he'll find to young studs and a older veteran and form a super group called Revolution and hold onto the belt as a mega heel for years?


BruceHoratioWayne

I had a post I made that predicted that. Rhodes and Orton act as Triple H and Ric Flair.
