– During a recent edition of his Off the Top podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi evaluated WWE Bad Blood along with Kevin Owens turning heel on Cody Rhodes in an non-televised angle that took place after the show. Rikishi said he would’ve preferred seeing Cody Rhodes turn on Roman Reigns instead. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Rikishi on wanting to see Cody Rhodes turn on Roman Reigns: “I would’ve thought, and this is just my weird mind, I’m always thinking when people go left, I’ll go right. During that time, it damn sure would’ve been nice if Cody turned on Roman. You got two big babyfaces there. Cody’s been that babyface since Roman’s been gone, and then to be able to come back together, I see [those] little highlight videos they put up of Roman’s entrance.”
On Reigns’ aura: “He puts out that aura. He puts out that vibe, like you can almost feel it coming through the TV how over this guy is, and this is once a guy that people hated his guts.”
At WWE Bad Blood, Roman Reigns successfully teamed up with Cody Rhodes against The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. Also, Jimmy Uso returned to WWE TV, helping Reigns win the match.
