Cody Rhodes may have yet to hold the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, but he has become the People’s Champion, according to DDP.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, DDP threw his support behind Rhodes, who he feels should challenge Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. He said,
“The reason why this [the WrestleMania 40 main event] works for Cody [Rhodes] and Roman [Reigns] — it’s old-school. Everything about it is old-school. Let’s build to the big pay-per-view, which is doing the biggest business they’ve ever done as far as numbers are concerned … They’re doing the biggest business; that’s what it comes down to, and Cody [Rhodes] is a humungous reason for that … Now, he’s — the original ‘People’s Champion’ was Muhammad Ali. Dusty Rhodes. “Diamond” Dallas Page. The Rock. And now it’s Cody. That’s ‘The People’s Champion.’ They want it so bad.”
Rhodes failed to dethrone Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39 last April. In addition to Cody, there has been speculation that The Rock will challenge his cousin at WrestleMania 40.
