Cody Rhodes Beats Roman Reigns To Become Undisputed Universal Champion https://ko.news/cody-rhodes-beats-roman-reigns-to-become-undisputed-universal-champion/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=cody-rhodes-beats-roman-reigns-to-become-undisputed-universal-champion https://ko.news/cody-rhodes-beats-roman-reigns-to-become-undisputed-universal-champion/#respond Mon, 08 Apr 2024 07:38:45 +0000 https://ko.news/?p=10017 In a historic moment for the WWE, Cody Rhodes finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming the Undisputed Universal Champion by beating Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania.

The highly-anticipated match between Rhodes and Reigns at WrestleMania was nothing short of electrifying. It was a battle of epic proportions that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the very end.

At Wrestlemania Night 1, Rhodes and Seth Rollins lost to The Rock and Reigns, making it more challenging for Rhodes to win the title. The condition of the match was simple: if they lost, Rhodes’ main event against the Tribal Chief would be a Bloodline Rules match.

This meant there would be no rules, allowing anyone to interrupt, attack, or make their presence felt.

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened. The Rock pinned Rhodes after a Rock Bottom and the People’s Elbow, making it nearly impossible for Rhodes to finish his story.

On night two, the match between Cody Rhodes and Reigns was evenly contested at Wrestlemania.

It was clear that Rhodes was not going to give up without a fight. With the help of WWE legends John Cena and The Undertaker, he overcame challenges posed by Reigns and his Bloodline.

As the match reached its climax, the crowd erupted with excitement as The Rock joined the Bloodline to try and defeat Rhodes. Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, the crowd was stunned to see the return of WWE legends Cena and The Undertaker. Together, they fought off The Rock and the rest of the Bloodline, paving the way for Rhodes to claim the championship title.

The atmosphere in the stadium was electric as Rhodes emerged victorious, with fans chanting his name and celebrating his historic win. It was a moment that will be remembered for years to come and solidified Cody Rhodes’ status as one of the WWE’s greatest champions of all time.

Cody Rhodes has now ended Roman Reigns’ 1317 days at Universal Champions and got his Wrestlemania moment.

Damian Priest Cashes To Win The WWE World Heavyweight Title At WrestleMania https://ko.news/damian-priest-cashes-to-win-the-wwe-world-heavyweight-title-at-wrestlemania/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=damian-priest-cashes-to-win-the-wwe-world-heavyweight-title-at-wrestlemania https://ko.news/damian-priest-cashes-to-win-the-wwe-world-heavyweight-title-at-wrestlemania/#respond Mon, 08 Apr 2024 01:33:05 +0000 https://ko.news/?p=10009 The Judgment Day’s Damian Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank contract during Night 2 of WrestleMania 40 — with a little help from CM Punk, who was on commentary for the initial match.

Drew McIntyre won the World Heavyweight Championship from Seth Rollins in the night’s opening match with a Claymore Kick in a battle of finishers. McIntyre started off the match against Rollins hot, hitting the Claymore within seconds and attempting to pin the former champion. McIntyre and Rollins traded finishers and attempts at them throughout the match. At one point, Rollins was able to hit a Stomp from the Spanish announce desk to McIntyre’s head on the English announce desk. McIntyre was still able to pull out the victory and took the championship ringside to his wife. He then got in Punk’s face; Punk swept McIntyre — who was on top of the announce desk at that point — off his feet, took off his triceps brace, and started to beat the new champion down.

That’s when Priest’s music hit. Damian ran down the ramp with the briefcase, hit McIntyre with it, rolled back in the ring, and cashed in, hitting the South of Heaven for the win.

AEW To Air CM Punk/Jack Perry Footage From 2023 All In https://ko.news/aew-to-air-cm-punk-jack-perry-footage-from-2023-all-in/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=aew-to-air-cm-punk-jack-perry-footage-from-2023-all-in https://ko.news/aew-to-air-cm-punk-jack-perry-footage-from-2023-all-in/#respond Sun, 07 Apr 2024 12:44:37 +0000 https://ko.news/?p=9986 While the bulk of the talk this weekend was expected to revolve around WWE WrestleMania XL, AEW has very much kept themselves in the spotlight with the news that they’ll be showing footage of the backstage altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry from All In last year.

Last night’s AEW Collision saw a graphic announcing how the Young Bucks will be showing and discussing this footage on next week’s Dynamite. And for those thinking this is merely a ruse, that apparently is not the case.

Per Fightful Select, those in the company who the outlet has spoken to are under the impression that, yes, Dynamite will be airing the genuine footage from All In. Specifically, it was stated by various people that AEW would not falsely promote something like that. For those wondering about any legal repercussions, there appears to be no issues on that front.

Of course, the Young Bucks are now due to face FTR – extremely close friends of CM Punk – at AEW Dynasty for the vacant AEW Tag Team Titles later this month. One veteran noted to Fightful how they’d be extremely surprised if Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler weren’t given a heads-up on this situation ahead of time, particularly due to how much Tony Khan respects FTR.

At this stage, this footage has not been made widely available internally within AEW, and nobody Fightful reached out to has seen the recording of Punk and Perry’s altercation; an altercation that led to the firing of CM Punk and the removal from AEW programming of Jack Perry.

Roman Reigns Had A Journalist Kicked Out Of A Press Conference For Booing https://ko.news/roman-reigns-had-a-journalist-kicked-out-of-a-press-conference-for-booing/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=roman-reigns-had-a-journalist-kicked-out-of-a-press-conference-for-booing https://ko.news/roman-reigns-had-a-journalist-kicked-out-of-a-press-conference-for-booing/#respond Sun, 07 Apr 2024 08:53:17 +0000 https://ko.news/?p=9980 Night one of WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia kicked off in style before a full weekend of wrestling, with Roman Reigns main eventing both nights.

The Undisputed Universal champ joined forces with The Rock – making his WWE comeback over a decade since his last fight – as part of a tag team main event for the ages.

The cousins defeated Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes in a bout jam-packed with drama, surprises and classic WWE entertainment.

Perhaps the craziest moment of the evening was when Reigns accidentally speared The Rock and left the 51-year-old screaming in agony.

The incident almost cost the duo victory, but both managed to kickout when Rollins and Rhodes has them pinned on the floor.

The Rock recovered to hit Rhodes with a Rock Bottom, before pulling off a People’s Elbow to secure the win.

However, despite avoiding an embarrassing defeat, the drama did not end there.

During a press conference after the event, Reigns had a journalist removed from the room following an extremely awkward moment.

As Reigns’ manager Paul Heyman raised his hand to field questions, a journalist seemingly forgot where they were and booed the wrestler.

As you’d expect, Reigns was less than impressed.

“Who did that?” Reigns immediately asked, before he told the journalist to “leave.”

After starring at the offender for a few seconds, Reigns continued: “I’m serious. The lady with the glasses, get her out.

“Get her out or I’m leaving.”

With the journalist reluctant to budge, Reigns said: “Use your feet. You’re wasting our time lady.”

In a bid to lighten the mood, Heyman jumped in and said: “This ain’t baseball, there’s no three strikes.”

Victory for Reigns and The Rock ensured that Sunday night’s title fight between Reigns and Rhodes will be contested under Bloodline Rules.
