Later on the show, Booker T discussed how it was the right decision for Roman Reigns to retain the title against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39. He feels that Rhodes has done good work over the last year, which has helped him solidify his position in WWE as one of the top guys.

“People asked me last year if it was the wrong call and I go, ‘No, man.’ I really didn’t think it was the wrong call at all just because I felt like Cody wasn’t going anywhere,” he said. “This year has done Cody a whole lot of good. I think he’s gotten a chance to really, really solidify himself throughout this whole year. Talk about the matches with Brock Lesnar. Stuff like that … [he] wouldn’t have been able to do that kind of stuff properly if he had won the title [at WrestleMania 39]. There’s no way those matches couldn’t have been the same.”

Booker T thinks that Rhodes could win the world title later this year at WrestleMania 40 and finish his story as the story has almost come to completion.

“So, for me, I think the Cinderella story is almost complete,” said Booker T.

Rhodes will likely announce his WrestleMania 40 opponent on the “WWE SmackDown” after Royal Rumble later this week.
