Rhodes was the favorite to win against Reigns at WWE WrestleMania 39, as many people thought he would be the one to dethrone The Tribal Chief and start his own story of success. A lot of fans wanted him to become the main man, the face of the company. However, WWE had other plans as Roman Reigns retained the Universal Championship.

Recently in an interview with Sam Roberts, The American Nightmare recalled an emotional fan interaction after his loss. Cody Rhodes said that he saw a fan after the loss wearing his merch, so he couldn't control his emotions and apologized to the fan for losing.

"The task of ‘can I get them to be on board even more after so many have invested, flown out, traveled, brought people.’ I remember seeing a guy in the crowd who had every piece of my merch on, every piece, and he was just staring at me. Grown man, hand on his hips, I caught eyes, I couldn’t break. I told him, ‘I’m sorry.’ That was the part that surprised me the most. Every place we go to, and knock on wood this continues to happen, every place we go to seems like more excitement." (H/T Fightful)
