“Congrats @CodyRhodes & @WWERomanReigns For Providing One Of The Most Athletic And Believable Main Events That I’ve Seen In A Long Time. I Hate The Interference, But It All Played Out In Your Favor And It Made The Show More Enjoyable To Watch. I Respect You Both. Thankful To Know You! Cody, You Finally Lived Your Dad’s Dream! Love You All! WOOOOO! -Naitch,”Flair wrote onX.

Under normal circumstances I would have like less outside involvement. However in this case I think giving us a “Dusty Finish” was the perfect way to celebrate this Rhodes family moment.

Regardless, Cody’s triumph over Reigns was glorious. He lived the dream of his father, Dusty Rhodes. It was a long and bumpy road to victory but he eventually claimed the Universal Championship to his name.
