Nic Nemeth has some issues with the current dynamic between Roman Reigns and The Rock.
He isn’t thrilled about how The Tribal Chief has been portrayed since The Rock returned to WWE. The pair will team up on night one of WrestleMania 40, before Reigns battles Cody Rhodes on night two for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio (via WrestlingInc), Nemeth spoke about the storyline. He claimed that The Rock has made Roman Reigns’ look like “a little brother”. He thinks that the has overshadowed him, and Reigns has been left out of the end of his two-year-long story somewhat.
“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.”
“He doesn’t have to mimic The Rock. He doesn’t even have to talk about him. This is a moment for him to be right back on schedule, let him say whatever he wants. This is the biggest story in the business, and this is the guy you have to beat.”
“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?”
Nic Nemeth Mocked Cody Rhodes “Finishing The Story”
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Nic Nemeth mocked the idea of Cody Rhodes and the “finishing the story” plot in WWE.
“I appreciate this two-year story, I really do. I just think it’s so funny that finishing the story isn’t like the end of a storyline. It’s like, no, he has to win because his dad wasn’t champion. That’s the story?”
“Hasn’t everybody else who wasn’t a legacy in the business had to go through a bunch of stuff, too? Or was Cody the only one?”
