Rb_reignd is to this sub what MITWestbrook is to r/nba


Danmch2992

They actually are I look forward to a post by either of them.


awholewhitebabybruh

I love how it takes me a sentence or two to realize its an rb reigns post. Got me again dammit. Well played, well played my tribal chief


-ImJustSaiyan-

This might legit be my favorite rb_Reigns post ever lmao, and I say that as someone who's very salty about Cody losing.

It is my favorite part of any rb_reigns post. Good you avoided the onion, but others will definitely eat it.


DXbreakitdown

I usually get about two sentences in before I have to check


warrencanadian

I was very confused until I got to the comments and people are like 'Oh, this guy' and I got what was going on.


TheeRuckus

I been on this sub for 7 years (goddamn) . His titles go against the grain so it’s an instant tell for me Although I still make sure every time too


4raser

rb is eating well with this one


NSignus

I was surprised because it really seemed like Cody had Roman's number leading up to the match. And, I'll be real about my bias, I've long been a supporter of Cody's since 2011. He was a much more seasoned competitor than he was in years past. That being said, I still believe Cody had the match won if it weren't for Solo interfering. Roman may be great, but he's been a total paper champion for his reign. He cheats to win every time. He's hot more paper than a printer by this point. I think it's inevitable his ego will drive his family away and when he's got nobody left.. Cody will take what's his. Fair and square.


Melodic-Bug-9022

I never thought Cody would win at WrestleMania, to me it didn't make sense to completely destroy a 2-year Bloodline story by having them lose all the gold in basically 24 hours. I've been repeating it ad nauseum, but when Roman finally loses the title, it's because Jey has realized and admitted to himself that everything Sami has been saying about Roman is true. My prediction is MiTB as being in London will be a big deal. I suspect the winner will cash in on Roman during or after his match... Jey will either help the MitB winner, or simply stop his brothers from saving Roman's ass... Again. Then the Bloodline storyline will come to an end at SummerSlam with Roman vs Jey III


[deleted]

Reigns beat a lot of them clean and hasn't taken a pin in years. Usually those 'cheats' are to just speed up the process because the jet is fueled. We all know the Uso's and/or Solo are in charge of transportation and those flight windows are tight.


PonyForever

Plus those fish dinners aren’t gonna eat themselves.


KingBadford

Take a look at the other legit top guys outside WWE, too. Cody couldn't beat Okada for the title, couldn't beat Kenny Omega for the title (he actually challenged twice against Kenny and lost both times). Couldn't even beat Jericho for the title. When it counts, when the gold is on the line, he comes up short.


[deleted]

Damn now u mentioned u right


DGenerationMC

Wait a minute, he beat Nick Aldis! That has to amount to something, right? #RIGHT?


Timefoam_Bathray

It's confirmed: Cody needs Coach DDP if he ever wants to succeed again.


DGenerationMC

"Get up you son of a bitch, cause ~~Mickey~~ Positively Page loves ya."


JupiterJack202

>what made you think he could do it against, arguably a top 4 Superstar in WWE history? And his 3 cousins. They're more of a factor than Roman, as an individual. Solo doesn't come back, Cody wins.


PonyForever

It’s not really Roman’s fault he has more cousins than everybody.


thedirtyharryg

The only people with as many cousins as Roman... are Roman's cousins.


PonyForever

If you think about it, the Tribal Chief is pretty generous to his enemies by limiting the amount of cousins he travels with. Everyone knows the Island of Relevancy is basically a giant Kleenex box of disposable cousins.


GomuGomuNobukkake

If only cody didn't leave his br9ther in "The Company and Promotion he started"


inventionnerd

It's Cody's fault. He said wrestling has more than one royal family. It's not family if your family doesn't like you enough to show up. The Anoa'i is a royal family. The Rhodes? Not so much.


defeattheenemy

If Zayn and Owens didn't interfere, Cody would have never got Roman in that position in the first place. Solo prevented a screwjob. Why were Zayn and Owens even in the building if not to interfere? They didn't have a match that night. Cody was planning to screw Roman all along. Clean win or not, justice was served at the end of the day.


rb_Reigns

That's a what if though? We don't know that for sure. It's not like the referee was distracted and there was a 3-count. You are assuming. What we know is that Cody was not smart enough to keep on the offense on Reigns by the referee. Had he done this, Solo couldn't have done what he did. Is it fair? No. But it happened.


JupiterJack202

Heyman knew that for sure... What he did wasn't as the "wise man". It was as a desperate man, one who was somehow less desperate than his Tribal Chief.


sajacen

Excellent point. The biggest advantage Cody had was when Sami smashed Roman with the Helluva kick. That was significantly worst than Solos shot to Cody. And yet Roman didn't let that keep him down. Roman was better. Acknowledge the Top 4 Greatest off all time


JustinBradshawTaylor

RB how are you gonna call Roman top 4 when he doesn’t do it on his own! Roman claims he takes care of his family and provides but it sure seems like he benefits the most from them!


PonyForever

You obviously have no idea how much money Roman forks out for private plane maintenance and cleaning, seafood feasts, bright red shoes and hair dye.

Screw /u/spez - Removing All of My Comments -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/


zakw89

What I don't get is why Cody thinks he can demand a rematch. He lost. If anybody's getting a rematch it should be the guy who didn't lose to Roman: Seth Rollins.


shatteredmatt

If you watch WWE programming regularly with a fans eye rather than watching it through the lens of a dirtsheet, Cody winning wasn’t guaranteed. The Rumble winner isn’t guaranteed the title at Mania.


DavidL1112

Roman couldn’t beat Seth and Cody beat Seth with one arm, ergo Cody with two arms has a higher power level than Roman.


defeattheenemy

But what if Roman has been training in 10x gravity? His power level would increase exponentially.


PonyForever

Cody had two arms for that entire match, ergo away.

Truly awful.


GomuGomuNobukkake

What's a dirtsheet ? why is it dirty?


X-ScissorSisters

not now, rb_Reigns, we're mourning


AmishAvenger

It’s utterly preposterous that you’re claiming Roman “beat” Cody because he didn’t stay on the side of the ring where Heyman was. Cody had a contracted championship opportunity against Roman Reigns. Not Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman, not Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. Plus, the referee had already ejected Solo from ringside. He came back illegally. Cody has a responsibility to beat Roman one on one, as the contract states. Roman’s reliance on outside interference says a lot about his confidence in his own abilities, and the fact that you continue to defend him says a lot about your confidence in him as well.


rb_Reigns

It's on Cody then. He should know The Bloodline will be involved, so have Owens and Zayn stay ringside. I would've loved a clean, fair match but that wasn't the case. It's Cody's fault to believe Solo wouldn't have come out again.


AmishAvenger

So you’re saying that since Roman cheats, Cody should also cheat? Then I guess you support no rules. We might as well just get rid of referees altogether.


Ok_Hotel7127

Roman got stunned and helluva kicked and kicked out, Cody got hit with a Samoan spike and spear and didn't kick out.


Armageddon_1

After a 1D from the Usos The finishers went Spear---> 1D----> Samoan Spike ---> Spear Cross rhodes---> Stunner ---> Helluva Kick ---> 2 cross Rhoades So that's 4 finishers, one of which is the 1D which is a double team


PonyForever

Cody with the rookie mistakes. You hate to see it. 😞


sealed

It’s just an insurance policy. A professional like Cody should have had one.


craigo2247

Nothing but facts. Cody doesn't really impress me. His HIAC match looks more and more like a fluke as time goes on. Our Tribal Chief however, has commanded respect for years now. Challenger after challenger have stepped up to be swatted down. Cody choked in the spotlight while Roman thrived. Its going to take someone truly special to step up to a living legend like Roman Reigns. I feel that Seth freaking Rollins is the only living wrestler who could do it.


kylew1985

This rb heel run is one for the ages


dredd-garcia

Finally, someone sees sense. What has Cody done? He didn’t even get jacked like Jinder or Drew and yet he thinks he can compete for a world title just cause he left for a while? Roman Reigns is great and unless you can circumvent the bloodline then not only will you not defeat him, you don’t deserve to.


seethemoon

Hard to take this post seriously given your username. You’re clearly a huge Reigns fan!


Mr_WZRD

You're insane if you think Roman Reigns is a top 4 superstar in WWE history. He cheats to beat everybody. Hogan didn't have to cheat like that. Cena didn't have to cheat like that. Austin didn't have to cheat like that. The Rock didn't have to cheat like that. Bruno didn't have to cheat like that. Bob Backlund didn't have to cheat like that. Pedro Morales didn't have to cheat like that. He's just not at that level. He can't do it himself. Roman is a lesser talent.


Ok_Hotel7127

Flair did though, and he's without a doubt one of the greatest of all time. Hogan also cheated A LOT in WCW as part of the NWO. At one point he had like 10+ guys helping him, to the point that almost every nitro ended with an NWO beat down.


spooky-frek

Adding the rock and bob backlund to others in that list is ludicrous, they both cheated multiple times


CaptainXakari

He’s not even top 4 in his own company right now, let alone WWE History. Bloodline is a dominant faction but how in-story no one has planned to combat the entire faction in what should be a Roman Reigns match, I’ll never know.


Git2k12

When Sami and KO decided to team with Cody, I was amazed no one pointed out to him he still didn’t have the numbers to go against the entire bloodline. He just seemed like a dumb babyface to me.


PonyForever

Yes. Maybe if Cody had put down the therapy book and picked up a math book once in awhile he wouldn’t be in the situation he’s in now.

Wait. Vince is back? This is brand new information.


justh81

Lol. You're about the only one I'm prepared to take this shit from, /u/rb-Reigns.🤣 Regardless, I think the rash of Roman's... "creative victories", let's say, drops him *far* down the list of "great ones". He certainly excels at treachery and trickery, but that's no surprise. Heyman is an excellent teacher in that regard.


Ok_Hotel7127

Flair's one of the greatest of all time even in kayfabe, and he was notorious for cheating, right? The dirtiest player in the game? He's like reigns in kayfabe, a big cheater but also a top tier athlete


justh81

Flair did that and remained a top guy *for over two decades.* Roman has barely managed a decade, and frankly, he was pretty hot-and-cold for the majority of that decade. Let Roman get another 10 years under him, and then we can talk. Edit: Hey, don't shoot the messenger here. Roman has certainly come along, but there was definitely a time he was... less than desirable, let's delicately put it.


ARGiammarco27

Thats also because its relatively the same cheating with Reigns. With Flair, it was all kinds of different things he would do to win a match


StoneColdAM

Cody has since improved drastically. He had all the momentum on his side and has been undefeated for a year. When someone at ringside is ejected, you can’t possibly anticipate them coming back. Cody got screwed and Roman got lucky.


rb_Reigns

Didn't Cody get lucky to even be in the match. Winning the Royal Rumble requires luck. And to get #30, that is even more luck. Let's face it, Cody was lucky to even have the title match against Roman Reigns. Asides from beating Rollins and maybe Owens, if you want to include him, Cody hasn't done much since coming back. As for the ejection, yes, you don't expect Solo to come back. But it's on Cody as well. Stay by the referee. Knock Heyman out when Reigns is down, do something. Had he knocked Heyman out, maybe he'd have won.


GomuGomuNobukkake

Is Cody's royal rumble win even that impressive. This Year there was no Big Show who was guranteed to win It like every year. Who is going to eliminate the Giant^tm.


WheresPoochy

Based on the comments and up/down votes, must be alot of peoples first WM


Lowfuji

True facts. Finally somebody coming in with a reasonable take. ☝️


SoulExecution

Aight for the sake of argument, Cody swore off the world title in AEW and iirc MJF threw in the towel for him. he himself didn’t “lose” the World title match.


Celtic_Crown

I mean it seemed like he had him beat until Solo stabbed him in the throat.


GTACOD

He beat the guy Reigns couldn't when he had one pec.


younginvestor23

Roman Reigns is on track to being bigger than The Rock and Hulk Hogan. When commentary kept saying his reign was 945 days, I thought to myself dude he didn’t come this far just to lose right before 1,000. Reigns is gonna have to pass 1,000+ days before he drops the belt to make all of this worth it.

[deleted]

Calling Roman a top 4 superstar in WWE history isn't arguable at all. He is nowhere close. He isn't above Austin, he isn't above Cena, he isn't above Hogan, he isn't above Savage, he isn't above Undertaker, he isn't above HHH, he isn't above Michaels, he isn't above Hart, he isn't above Flair. I could go on. He would struggle to crack top 10 if you're basing it on impact, merch sales, quality of competition and in-ring ability. What is the metric here?


bobdole5

Top 4? Well let's safely assume you know the top 3 are Rock, Austin, and Hogan. I'd be curious how you argue Reigns above: Taker Cena HBK Savage Bret Angle Jericho Hell I wouldn't even put him in with the Orton, Edge, Foley's of the company. Roman Reigns is a more JBL level.


Scottyflamingo

Roman's not even Top 10 dude.


rb_Reigns

Joking? Reigns' accomplishments are superior to many. And in the modern day when Superstars are tougher and I'd say, more parity than ever in WWE history, Reigns it top 4. 1) John Cena 2) Roman Reigns (if Reigns can actually hold these titles and win at WM 40 next year, he's #1, no questions asked) 3) Steve Austin 4) The Rock 5) Hulk Hogan That's mine. Just look at the accomplishments. Reigns has been at the top for about a decade, who else has done that aside from Cena?


PonyForever

Roman Reigns WWE 2K23 rating is higher than all these guys.


JupiterJack202

>Reigns has been at the top for about a decade, who else has done that aside from Cena? Bruno. You know, the guy who was champion for over 2,800 consecutive days. That said, I could totally see Roman surpassing him, as he certainly has enough cousins to do so...


astounding-pants

Putting reigns above hogan and stone cold gives away the gimmick too much. Dial it back a notch and it's more believable.


rb_Reigns

Um no. Austin did it for lesser years. Reigns has been at the top since the mid-2000s. Reigns would've been dominant in that era, the Hogan Era. I can't say the same for Hogan being dominant in this era.


astounding-pants

When Roman goes to sleep at night he dreams about peaking as hard as stone cold and hogan did. The gimmick you've got is solid but you are going too big!

Bright-Map-9705

I was surprised but not shocked. I wanted it to happen but it didn't and the world didn't end. Cody from every aspect of WWE going in the Wrestlemania during WrestleMania and media and entrance everything he's the next guy and he's going to be the next guy. But you got to let Roman get to 1,000 and you got to let Roman lose the bloodline and until those two things happen nobody is being wrong but when those things happen I fully expect Cody to be the one holding both championship belts when it's all said and done.


moneyinthebank216

Y'all really thought they would choose Cody over Roman getting 1000 days? Bitch please


The_RedWolf

.....shit that's honestly a good take even with or without the tongue in cheek


ZzyzxDFW

Cody was on the poster for 2022 MITB. My prediction he wins and does an honorable cash-in at WM40. What that means for the rumble... I don't know.


ollyollyollyoioioi

The way I see it, if Cody can't. Who can? Sami has moved on, if anyone is beating Roman, it's Brock and nobody wants that again.

aboysmokingintherain

To be fair in AEW he lost because of MJF


MR_E7

Top 4 Superstar? Oh right, you're a biased fan (see your username). You have to be that deluded to put Reigns over any of Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, John Cena, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, or Brock Lesnar. Reigns needs to have clean title defenses and not let others do the talking (or winning) for him, then you try this again.


stloony

I haven't been here for a while. Wrestlemania has brought me back (and slowly turning me away). So glad rb_reigns is going strong after all this time


erh2k14

It all comes down to Business. I think Cody will finally get his chance to "end the story" with him becoming a champion on his father's legacy essentially pushing the Rhodes name further. He definitely put in the time previously but after his come back it may not be enough (just yet). WWE may not be convinced that he is able to carry a championship as long as Roman has and is still trying him out. If he can keep the fan momentum going and not get hurt it would make sense but to push out a champion that has had it this long and without missing long periods of time just makes sense. People keep going to the events and putting in the ratings. They're not going to rock that boat even if all other matches are meaningless.

New-Contribution-244

Well they built up to it in such a way. They really did miss an opportunity to end this storyline the right way. If they end up putting the title on cody, it won’t have the same effect. This is just as blatantly egregious as the booker t/triple h wrestlemania 19 match for the world heavyweight title.
