Roman Reigns had nothing but praise for fellow WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes during his appearance on the Tonight’s show.
Cody Rhodes is set to make his big return to WWE TV at the Royal Rumble 2023. He has been sidelined for several months with an injury. His last match was a victory effort against Seth Rollins inside Hell In A Cell.
Roman Reigns recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and he had a lot to say about Rhodes.
“We got another guy named Cody Rhodes, coming back from injury. He was super white. If you go back, I believe it was the Hell In A Cell match with Seth Rollins. His pectoral muscle was completely torn . Like, in half.”
Reigns continued:
“So if you go back and look, it’s completely black, a huge bruise covering this guy. A quarter of his body is completely broken. And he goes out there and does a 40-minute show and completely wins over the whole fan base. So he’s got a lot of guts, a lot of guts in him. And he will return soon.” [3:07-3:39]

Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes are not exactly strangers
In 2013, Reigns was still a midcard star on WWE TV and The Shield was feuding with Cody Rhodes and Goldust.
Reigns and Seth Rollins battled Rhodes and Goldust on several occasions back then over the WWE Tag Team Championship.
Rhodes and Reigns have come a long way in the past 10 years. Reigns is the biggest star in all of pro wrestling right now. Rhodes made a triumphant return to WWE last year and had a full-on feud with Seth Rollins.
The American Nightmare would like nothing more than to win the Royal Rumble match and take on Roman Reigns on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
