Current AEW Star and pro wrestling legend Matt Hardy recently took to an episode of his "Extreme Life of Matt Hardy" podcast, where he spoke about topics such as how WWE will definitely capitalize on the equity of Cody Rhodes and have him defeat Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39.
Matt Hardy said:
“He ends up leaving there and coming back to WWE and now he has all this equity, and they were definitely going to capitalize on that. I think the people kind of see Cody as a bit of a rebel because he left WWE on his own accord to go out and do his own thing and prove himself, and they always respect people when they do that. I think the call to go with Cody and let him be the guy to defeat Roman, I think that’s the way to go. I think it’s the right move and I don’t think it hurts Sami one bit.”
Matt Hardy also spoke about how he believes WWE made the right call by having Sami Zayn lose to Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber and how being in the storyline with The Bloodline truly elevated him to another level.
Matt Hardy said:
“If anything, that loss elevated Sami. It didn’t hurt him. It helped him. Also, you have a built-in competitor for Cody down the road with Sami. They can have a match. Sami is a legitimate world champion level competitor right now following this thing with The Bloodline. It truly elevated him to another level. They did right by Sami and it was the right call. I fully believe it was the right call.”
