Perception Arises That The Rock is Casting Roman Reigns as a Lesser Figure in WWE

The Bloodline story along with Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins couldn’t get any hotter. In the past few weeks, The Rock and Cody Rhodes have gone back and forth numerous times until the 3/25 episode of WWE Raw when the Great One unleashed brutal assault on Rhodes. 

Since his return to WWE, The Rock has been one of the major figures in the company enhancing the Reigns vs Rhodes match for WrestleMania Night Two with his feud against the American Nightmare. While this has worked very well for the storyline, it seems like Roman Reigns has been left out of it. 

In a recent appearance on the Busted Open Radio, former WWE superstar Nic Nemeth stated that he felt The Rock was overshadowing Reigns in his storyline. Not only that, but it felt like the Tribal Chief was looking like a little brother in the feud. 

“It does make Roman look like a little brother — a little bit… We had a year and nine months before The Rock of this two-year story, so I get it. We all know The Rock’s involved, we all know that the back and forth has only been Rock and Cody, let’s get back to the championship match. I really think I want them to sell me on WrestleMania, not just watching on TV, why I need to be in the building for this moment?”

Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes had face to face interaction during the 3/22 episode of WWE Smackdown. However, that was the first and seemingly the last one-on-one interaction they had ahead of WrestleMania. With The Rock and Seth Rollins also involved, another face off between the two teams won’t be surprising.
