I’ve enjoyed this story with Reigns
I think Cody winning at 39 would of been to hot shotted. I think with the right story growth Cody could take the belt at WM 40

I mean, I like him, but they’ve fed so many people to him it’s insane. How does he go down from here? When he loses the title I assume he’ll take a break (Idk just a guess) but when he comes back, how do you book him? Plus, he held the two main titles, one for almost 3 years and another for over a year. It’s gave no one else runs with either of the belts and it’s been the same end to every defense: the Bloodline interferes and helps him win. And he doesn’t even defend at every PLE. Don’t get me wrong, I acknowledge my Tribal Chief, but it’s time for a new champion. Cody should’ve won at Mania.

Dusty Rhodes made a career out of losing to the World Champion, before winning it. I don't see why Cody can't do the same either. The SummerSlam main event should be Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns with Cody winning it then. But I doubt that will happen. Dusty Rhodes never won the championship though

No. I would have rather had Cody beat Roman at WrestleMania, but only for the WWE Championship. It makes Seth Rollins look like a chump to have Roman Reigns be "Undisputed" Champion, and then Seth has this new belt that basically seems bogus. Instead, Cody should have challenged for ONLY the WWE Title because that's the title his father wanted. That way basically everyone wins. Cody gets the belt his father wanted, Roman remains Universal Champion and still has a 1000+ day run with that belt...as it stands TODAY, Roman has only been WWE Champ for 434 days, if he would have lost JUST that title at WrestleMania, it really wouldn't have mattered. That way you split the titles up again and you don't have to invent a title from scratch with no lineage. Same way I don't understand why they retired the RAW Women's Championship, gave Asuka a belt that says Women's UNDISPUTED Champion....what about Rhea Ripley? Why is everyone's title on Smackdown UNDISPUTED when there are technically equivalent Champions on RAW? I think WWE missed the mark on what they are doing with these titles....and this is the company that RAW/SD Champions literally just swap belts after the Draft on MULTIPLE occasions. It probably would have been better if Asuka and Rhea had just did a title swap and Rhea becomes RAW Women's Champion and Asuka becomes Smackdown Women's Champion. It's too confusing in my opinion, and it creates at least the impression that certain titles are less meaningful. Yes, Seth is the World Heavyweight Champion, but Roman Reigns is UNDISPUTED, so the optics are that Roman's title is more important, at least in my opinion. What is going to become of the Tag Team Title situation? Will they break up the Raw and SD tag titles? Will KO and Sami become UNDISPUTED Tag Team Champions and each be given one title each and then another team on a different show will be crowned as different new Tag Team Champions?The worst thing they ever did was combine all these belts just to try and make the Bloodline dominate both RAW and Smackdown. The Bloodline should have stayed a Smackdown thing. It didn't need to impact RAW. And basically all it did was make RAW not have a present World Champion for almost a year because after WrestleMania last year when Roman beat Brock, Roman Reigns was basically never on RAW until he started his feud with Cody. RAW just didn't have a World Champion and for almost a year the only belt that was in play on RAW was the US Title...and big props to Theory, Seth, and Lashley for carrying the brand during that time as great US Champions. And honestly, Roman is basically a part timer...he defends the title maybe 4 times a year? Wrestles only 2 or 3 matches on free TV a year, AND doesn't even appear every week on Smackdown even just to cut a promo. He's maybe on twice a month. We'll have to see where everything eventually settles, but I'm not thrilled with the title situation as it stands right now. this most likely will happen eventually. i also think all these title swaps and new title belts are stupid too. they just need a RAW championship belts and SD championship belts and leave it at that. the draft doesnt make sense either because they all still show up on the other brand anyway. it gets confusing to keep up all the time

Dusty Rhodes is a 3 time NWA World Champion, so yes, yes he did win the championship though.

I will never ever acknowledge the Tribal Chief, I agree it's time for a new champion, Cody Rhodes is the perfect choice because of the amount of merchandise he pulls in at the events (TV, PLE, and House Shows). I am getting sick and tired of this reign of Roman Reigns, it's boring and he cuts the same promo every week and I also agree that Cody should have won the title at WrestleMania. Once Roman loses the title and takes his break he should come back, put him a hot program without the title, he doesn't need the title at this point in his career.

Seriously, no joke, Roman should probably just retire after this. He made the Usos the biggest tag team by far of the last 25 years. Solo will be a made man after this. As for Roman, there’s nothing else to accomplish, and the only other match for him would be The Rock, and possibly one last go round with Seth. It’ll be a long damn time before someone beats this run.
The thing that makes this work so well is that it’s a family story. Wrestling isn’t hot enough for the nWo to work today, so the Usos, Paul, and even Solo are all integral to this story’s success. It’s not just one guy and a bunch of flunkies for 3 years. Roman should consider this a magnum opus and wind it down pretty quickly after this, since there’s really nothing else that he HAS to do.

I dont care that he's still champion. It was the wrong decision to not have him drop it though.....That being said I really wish they would stop with the whole "Roman has broken so & so record for days as champion"....There's 2 world titles (or like 4 now) and its not even the same lineage that Bruno, Hogan, Backlund & Pedro held...Roman is the longest reigning Universal Champion...Nothing more, nothing less.
