WRESTLEMANIA Shocker As Roman Reigns Defeats Cody Rhodes To Retain The WWE Universal Title

Roman Reigns is still WWE Universal Champion after defeating Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 39.

After an excellent back-and-forth match, the ref took a bump, allowing The Usos to get involved. Their interference was countered by new tag-tam champs Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, however, leading to The American Nightmare regaining an advantage.

But after hitting two Cross-Rhodes and going for a third, a referee distraction from Paul Heyman on the apron led to Solo Sikoa rushing the ring and hitting the Samoan Spike, and the Tribal Chief capitalized by mowing his opponent down with a spear and gaining the pin-fall victory.

It's safe to say that pretty much everyone expected Cody to win the title here, so this was a genuine shocker. Was it always the plan for The Head of the Table to continue his historic undefeated streak, or was there a last-minute change?

It'll be very interesting to see if anything comes out between now and tomorrow night's episode of Raw.
