Wrestling veteran Vince Russo believes the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will defeat a future Hall of Famer ahead of his potential match against Cody Rhodes.

The legend in question is The Rock. The Tribal Chief defeated The American Nightmare in an Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match at WrestleMania 39. Many believe Reigns and Rhodes will have another match in which the latter will capture the title. Meanwhile, rumors suggested the leader of The Bloodline could face The Rock at WrestleMania 40.

Speaking on the Smackdown/RAW Review Show on his YouTube channel, Russo criticized the Stamford-based company for letting Reigns defeat several top talents to build him up for his potential second clash with Rhodes.

The former head writer even predicted that WWE would book The Tribal Chief to go over The Rock to make Rhodes' victory look "huge."

"He's gonna beat The Rock. Roman Reigns is gonna beat The Rock in order to make Cody's victory seem so huge. Really, bro? If that's not forcing Cody Rhodes down my throat I don't know what is, bro," he said. [From 07:13 to 07:27]

Wrestling veteran believes one of three WWE Superstars will dethrone Roman Reigns

During a recent episode of Keepin' It 100, wrestling veteran Disco Inferno addressed who could dethrone The Tribal Chief. He gave three names who could potentially end Reigns' historic title reign, including Cody Rhodes.

"Right now you would think Cody, Randy Orton if he comes back, maybe like Bron Breakker if they bring him in and give him a push. Those are the guys I would think are on the radar to, like, beat Roman," he said.
