During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, former WWE announcer Jonathan Coachman commented on whether Cody Rhodes should win the WWE Undisputed Universal title from Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.

โ€œI say yes, he has to. Thereโ€™s a lot of people that say โ€˜Wins and losses donโ€™t matter.โ€™ Iโ€™ve said at times โ€˜Itโ€™s all about the stories. Wins and losses donโ€™t matter.โ€™ For this story, and the fact that he came back in a redemption story, and you lead up for two full years? Thatโ€™s a long time when youโ€™re doing TV every single week. People talk about Hulkster back in the day and all those guys, they werenโ€™t on TV every single week. So to me, at some point, youโ€™ve got to pay it off. And you pay it off at a big win.โ€

โ€œIf you donโ€™t do that, and he does it at, say, SummerSlam? To me, itโ€™s kind of โ€˜whah whah whahโ€™ moment, because everything leads up to WrestleMania. So my answer, to you, would be yes, he needs to [win].โ€
