Speaking on the Pat McAfee Show, Rhodes stated that he has high respect for the Needle Mover. He called him an absolute legend and said that after about 8–10 years, Reigns was going to be looked up to highly. These were wholesome remarks Cody had for the Head of the Table. The Royal Rumble winner used the word “capturing the imagination of the audience” while referring to the Undisputed Champion.

This isn't a mind game. This isn't anything like that. I am of the thought that Roman Reigns also wants a fair fight on Sunday. I think Roman Reigns wants to prove to everybody here [that] he can go without the help of The Bloodline, without the help of The Final Boss. And I can tell you now, as much as I respect Roman Reigns, in a fair fight, he doesn't stand a chance against me
