The inner child came out of all of them when those championships came out, amazing
Seeing the reporters as marking over titles
I think they still have to do the official plate removal and placement.
Do your inner child a favor and watch that main event. Even if you’re not a fan anymore, let him watch it.
@Tunda2 Yeah, watched it and it was awful. I couldn't think of a worse way to get Cody over. Destroyed his reign before it even began. Thankfully I can watch NJPW and MLW not ruin people.
@@DemetruisMiller Cody will change the belt not just the side plates
Being 40 now, and having largely not paid attention to this universe for the last 20yrs or so, it felt SO good watching the last 2 nights unfold with everyone. Felt like a kid again. Incredible.
And has been since Survivor Series. It was great for WWE to be back & better now.
The Rock made this WM great ☝️
@@Rahul-wd9cl He certainly played a big part, no doubt; But so did everyone else... Cena, Undertaker making an appearance. Jaws were dropped, the roof kept getting blown off the place in a spectacular way.
Saturday was my first time watching a whole Wrestlemania in almost 20 years and I enjoyed myself.
Good now a watch AEW some real good stuff there too
How excited the male presenter got when he got the belt was everything! 😂
I’m so jealous rn lol
He's going to wear that belt for the whole week...lol.
That's every guy's dream
The Male anchor should have told I am coming for the championship Cody 😅
“I can die now” almost too wholesome
This guy wrestling for 58minutes,wake up in the morning and just 5 minutes segment 😂
He got Monday night raw tonight, good way to celebrate
@@prasithoudomvilay8454it would have been great to see Rhodes back on the mma hour as a champion
@@prasithoudomvilay8454he wrestled for 30 minutes
Also flew from Philly to NY in the middle of the night
This guy hasn't slept, just at the top of the game on cloud 9
Cody earned that belt through years of dedication to his craft. Even though the match itself was scripted, you have to pass a certain threshold as a performer and as a brand for the higher ups to even consider bestowing you with this honor. Congratulations to him.
Yep absolutely you have to EARN your spot to be the man.
Randy should dropped title to Cody years ago
Especially the way it was presented. they’ve never done that for anyone and honestly I don’t think anyone deserved it as much as Cody Rhodes
People can say the matches/outcomes whatever are 'scripted'....they still put themselves on the line in that ring, risking injury & all, competed outdoors in the cold basically although the Sunday show had warmer temperatures....not to mention the stories behind the matches & performers, that's also a big part of it as well.
If the match wasnt scripted. who would had won?
I remember in 2015 when after his dad passed and they were doing the Tag Team Tournament in NXT in honor of Dusty. Cody spoke and I think it was the first time I had ever heard him speak out of character and just as himself. He was very emotional and I immediately connected with him because it was so genuine and real. I think he's the perfect champion for the WWE at this time for that very reason. You can tell how proud he is to have reached this point and getting a chance to represent the company as its champion.
Cody is always emotional. Nothing new
i think calling him a "crybaby" is OVEREXAGERRATED this man deserved every single moment with his family after victory and i am sure Dusty would be proud of him with or without the title......
It’s nice seeing these news outlets being respectful of the business. Most don’t understand how difficult their occupation is
I agree, plus it helps that the ones in this interview were actual fans.
I noticed Roman Reign side-plates are still on the title ladies and gentlemen we’re getting a new title probably after the draft 😂
Winged belt is coming back
Would be the cherry on top
It's a new era. He's gonna come out with the white strap.
@Yoni123 as of 3/15/24 the winged eagle belt was priced at 429.99
No SmackDown
THIS is the champion we needed for this era!
hey how are you?
@@davinalopez-oz1ez this isn't a dating site bro, move on
Hope he will take full time wrestle and make many incredible move..pleade buy lot of his merchandise, his jersey
No
No Roman No WWE
It's a NEW Era in WWE. Cody Rhodes, Damien Priest & Bayley are all new World Champs. I'm so hyped for RAW tonight.
Can't forget sami as well! Truth and miz also
@@qhousee17 I didn't forget about Sami Zayn & The Awesome Truth becoming Champions at WrestleMania 40/XL. I was specifically talking about night 2 Champs. Lol
@@qhousee17it's not the first time those guys held those championships
For now LOL
@@omarlopez1372Awesome Truth have never won tag titles before bro
I came back after 15 years of not watching..this past year has been crazy and I’m glad I’m back to watch it again
Yooo! Same Hunter and the The Rock know what they’re doing. Vince was too stubborn to try new things
I think I’m going to actually start watching wrestling again, this was awesome
Been watching WWE for 2 months now, totally worth it.
@@jaytexazjust started watching again like a year ago stopped watching back in 2008 so been a minute 😂
Its so awesome seeing new fans come in
Do it!
I just started again about a year and a half ago and it's been great. Triple H is doing FANTASTIC as the head of Creative. It's been real fun watching again, first time investing in it since like 2007 or so.
I don't care what people said Roman already a Legend he on his way to be a future HOF like Paul☝🏼🩸
Well Said
ABSOLUTELY 💯☝️
Believe that
☝️☝️☝️
False.
People need to trust the processes more. People want endings to happen to soon. They executed that story perfectly.
Exactly people no longer just watch the show ..pulling the curtain back was one of the worst things to happen.
Hes boring 😂🥱🥱🥱and the ratings are going down because he’s champ
Hes boring 😂🥱🥱🥱and the ratings are going down because he’s champ
Should've ended years ago
Im happy Cody won but I acknowledge Roman's 3 and a half yr run 👏👏👏
Well said Roman had a huge amount of pressure on him , Cody real work starts now well earned
Roman success is fake 💩☝️
Same ☝️
I respect the heck out of the both of them!
We gotta respect reigns decision to give away the title... unfortunately his decision also means the start of the wwe downfall but that's how it is
I love how he’s holding the championship. He’s holding it just like his father held the NWA championship
I was looking through the comments and I glad somebody else has noticed that!
@@lukep126 it’s literally the first thing I noticed.
Skinny Dusty in a suit baby
That's how he holds his championships. Go back to when he was Dashing Cody Rhodes 10+ years ago to when he was TNT champion at AEW 3-5 years ago, he holds a belt like an egg, with real care and respect
@@Tunda2 I read this in Dusty’s voice
He can smoke like a burnt stove
And he can roll like some twenty fo's
And he jumped Reigns like Dusty Rhodes
And in the end hit him with Crossroads
Congrats Cody
Snooooooop
BARS!🔥😂
He... we... GO.
The PAUL LEVESQUE Era has begun. 👊😎
“The quarterback of WWE” straight facts
He is the guy that u send to everywhere to represent the company
The new Cena
Roman is a legend
Cody Rhodes Making Rhodes Family comeback to mainstream iconic sports
I watched the moment of Cody winning the match so many times and it's so incredibly heartwarming. I've just been smiling all day. I'm so happy for him. This video was very wholesome itself especially when everyone got their own championship 😂
My guy got that belt and marked out. I love pro-wrestling
Congratulations Cody Rhodes😢🎉🎉
I feel like that belt that Cody has should be held in a wwe museum. That’s Roman’s title, the title that was held on for 1,316 days plus he carried the company on his shoulders for 4 and a half years. A historic run, one of the greatest champs of all time. Roman Reigns Thank you for everything❤️
Cody has to break that record
I love how the dude just put the belt straight on
Thank you roman❤😢
Acknowledge Roman Reigns ❤❤
That was absolutely awesome. Kudos to the wwe for doing that for those news reporters. They definitely geeked out from those titles 👏👏
Great segment! Cody Rhodes is the man, so likable, well spoken, a real humble guy, always a treat to listen to his interviews. So happy he won the Universal Championship last night at WrestleMania 40. 😊
They are so cute with the belts. Everyone was 5 again. ❤
This is the most exciting wrestling has been in almost 30 years and Cody Rhodes is the best person to lead the company going forward. Excited to be watch wrestling for the first time in a long time.
Now... I'm definitely going to get back into watching Raw tonight. Now that the "Tribal Chief" has been dethroned.
Big ups to Cody Rhodes for finishing his story and becoming WWE Champion. It is truly deserving.
Thank you Tribal Chief Roman Reigns for all the amazing storylines ☝👏
Roman with a small smile on his face lets you know that he was very happy about the moment.
The guy marking out when he received the title made me so happy 🙂
That last bit was absolutely insane
From a Samoan, we love you Cody. We loved Dusty
those belts look amazing
❤ONE OF THE SWEETEST NIGHTS IN PRO WRESTLING HISTORY
Cody as champion feels like a new renaissance of pro wrestling. A new kingdom.
Definitely the new face of the company. It's great to see.
They all looked genuinely excited and happy to get those belts, love it. Great stuff
The anchor dude lost his mind haha that little kid in him came out
Man WM40 will go down in the books for sure, most hype I have been in a LONG time watching WWE
Watching this guy from his "Legacy" days, following since "All-In" and now I'm ready for his next story to unfold!
Dude I felt like a KID AGAIN seeing the undertaker and the rock
Wonderful moment! Congratulations to THE NEW Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion! Very well deserved!
When he defeated Brock Lesnar at Summerslam I felt it was only up from that point. His father would be proud. This story makes WWE wrestling great again. I watch other companies too. But this is the change WWE needed.. thanks to Roman, Seth and Rock along with Cody. HHH got it right 👍🏾
Craig moving at warp speed to put it on LOL
Amazing Wrestlemania. The stories leading up to it sucked me back into watching segments after years of clips of old stuff and listening to Corny’s podcasts. Tonight will be my first time watching a full Raw in 8 years
Man finished his story🗣️🔥
Im so glad finally got a fulltime champion again bc dont get me wrong i love roman and i am thankful for what he has done for wwe for past 4 years but im glad we got something new ❤
I was there live when he won the ROH world title but I wish I was there at Mania yesterday! I’m happy for Cody congrats!
Nice to see someone else with the belt
My guy fought two long matches and still got up early to do a press run. That's a hard worker there.
This is the champion we needed for The New Era
The Rock is gonna challenge Cody for the title at Summer Slam next 💀💀💀
@@ox_trueprotagonistchrisred9085so Rock wins and he becames the new tribal chief to revenge Roman his cousin
@@Luistation nope
That was a feel-good segment. Thanks!
Love Roman, and his reign as UC will forever be a historic one, but WWE chose right investing in Cody’s story. Thinking back to everything from his time in Legacy, as The Dashing One, as Stardust, etc… the man deserves this!
I love how Craig did his dad’s signature move ❤️
Cody Rhodes is a Champion we need. He loves his family and his fans. What a Great Example u are
Nothing But Love ❤️ And Respect For Cody Congratulations On Finish The Story 📖 And Beginning A New Chapter To The Story Of The New WWE Universal Champion 🏆The American 🇺🇸 Nightmare Cody Rhodes
Proud WWE fan i never changed my taste for promotion always stick to it even back in past few year when people start thinking that wwe is going to end at that i still think there is going to be time when wwe again going to hit like it used to be 💯
Well done, Cody.
cody is such a class act. we love you cody!
THIS IS WHY HE IS THE GUY!!
that's a memory right there to remember from today.
Cody really is the guy. What a dude
Congrats Cody
Wrestling is really magical in the way it can spark up emotions. Just look at how excited they got when the belts come out. It’s like their childhood selves just came alive.
I would love to have one of those replica title belts like the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Replica Title Belt. It's looks amazing.
There’s no way he’s slept yet 😂
My dude Craig just became a kid again when the title came out. Lol
If you would have told me in 2007 that that kid would have main event WrestleMania 3 times and when the title I would have laughed in your face but years later he's wwe champion now
Cody is amazing really a good person in the ring and real life .. congratulations Cody you deserve it 👍👍☺️
I hope he brings back the winged eagle championship, or atleast a modern modified of the belt. Like what they did with the big gold.
The American Nightmare ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Cody earn it all the hard work he put into. Know he dad was looking down on him on Sunday he would be proud of his son. Cody finish his story now now a new chapter.
That's my boy...Undisputed WWE Champion.. Cody Rhodes ❤
Raws gonna be lit tonight
He finished his story
I love seeing the new era of WWE being so classy!!!
I remember watching Cody back in 2011 as "Dashing" Cody Rhodes. I knew back then that he had what it took to be World Champion. To see him finally make it to the mountain top is so satisfying!
also tag team with Ted DiBiase era
what a fantastic interview......those 3 were stunned by those belts. they went straight up '10 year old kid' when they were handed those suckers....ha, how fun!
Congratulations cody Rhode
Wrestling fans never appreciate the moments we get until after. Yes cody winning was amazing and felt right. But whatever opinions you may have about Roman and his reign..we literally were apart of history. We may never again experience someone with a 1000+ day reign as champion. If roman is indeed finishing his career..he's a auto HOF in my view. Well done WWE.
I think one of the wrestlers who came in the ring to celebrate Cody’s victory will be his first challenger for the WWE Championship.
i wish Cody acknowledges Roman and Thanks him for what has he done tonight on Raw.
I love seeing Cody being a mainstream star! It's his turn to be an A-List superstar!
I haven't watched WWE since 2015 on regular television. If there was anyone telling me in 2016. That I'd be following wrestling as closely as I am now. I would have said they were crazy.
Great family man and overall great guy...Congrats Cody, you deserve it!
Man last night was amazing! Brought back so many memories and it was very well written!
Cant help but be happy for Cody, way to go WWE
I stopped watching WWE a few years ago. I watched last night and i feel like i'm back in it, i'm feeling it again.
4:15 Cody Rhodes is just the sweetest and nicest person ever that's our WWE champion
We in the Triple H Era now!!!
Cody deserves it.
And that's why at ANY/EVERY championship-like stage, a WWE belt is shown.
Cody has been my favourite and he has finally finished the story
Congratulations Rhodes 🎉
