WWE Knew They Needed A Headline Making Segment In Cody Rhodes – Roman Reigns Storyline
Sami Zayn’s story arc with “The Bloodline” has been unfolding for several months and has quickly become one of the most intricate and expertly crafted storylines in a very long time.
It all imploded at The Royal Rumble, as Sami Zayn turned on Roman Reigns in one of the greatest segments in recent WWE memory.
As seen on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, Cody Rhodes and Paul Heyman had an incredible back and forth with each other, that saw the two dropping verbal bombs on one another. While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE specifically knew the segment had to be especially headline-making, as Sami Zayn is so popular right now.
This was done because they were well aware of how hot the Sami Zayn thing is, and it was imperative to not have this WrestleMania main event angle feel secondary. So they knew going in that they had to do something. And they did.

Sami Zayn will be challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Championship at WWE Elimination Chamber. We’ll have to wait and see how it will turn out.
