During their heated rivalry, Roman Reigns once labeled Cody Rhodes a “politician”. The “politician”came during their storyline feud when Reigns mocked Rhodes’ public persona, comparing him to someone constantly “kissing babies and shaking hands.”
During a recent episode of What Do You Wanna Talk About? Cody explained why he wasn’t mad at the line from Roman,
“Roman Reigns called me a politician one time, and I remember thinking, I’m not mad at that. I grew up in the business. Everyone is (a politician) to a degree. But to me, there’s politics, there’s posturing, and then there’s snaking and backstabbing.
I think a lot of guys in our modern roster are straight up. ‘This is what I think is better. This is what I think isn’t. Let’s talk about it.’ Someone’s making a decision, but the opinion has been weighed. Because you can smell when you get around the ones today that are like, ‘This is gonna be really good for you.’ And you can already tell, like, ‘No, it’s not. I can tell this isn’t even for me.’”
Roman Reigns is set to challenge CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre will defend the WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes on this week’s Friday Night SmackDown.
