Cody Rhodes makes a shocking claim about his rivalry with Roman Reigns

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns are among the most popular performers on the roster. The American Nightmare recently made a shocking claim about his rivalry with The OTC.

Cody Rhodes recently welcomed Grammy-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet on his 'What Do You Wanna Talk About?' podcast. During their conversation about pro wrestling, Rhodes stated that at times the most authentic and personal stories help sell more tickets and earn a lot of money. He added that the viewers did not know how real wrestling could get.

"Sometimes the most authentic and personal stories make for great money, ticket selling, in terms of general revenue. People will never know how real wrestling is in different aspects than just what they see in the canon and the narrative, and that's the most beautiful thing," Rhodes said.

The 40-year-old then brought up his rivalry with Roman Reigns without mentioning The OTC's name. Rhodes shockingly stated that "it's as real as it could possibly get." However, he added that Reigns was probably his favorite opponent to work with.

"I hate using him [Roman Reigns] as an example, but my greatest rival in this company, I don't even have to say his name, it's as real as it could possibly get. You would like to be QB1, I would like to be QB1. It's every piece of it. But it's also, when we get in there, that's probably my favorite guy to make music with," Rhodes added.
