AEW star wants 2-time Intercontinental Champion to end Roman Reigns' historic run in WWE

Roman Reigns is the former WWE Intercontinental Champion
Roman Reigns has been on a dominant run in WWE.

AEW star and wrestling veteran Jeff Jarrett has expressed his desire for two-time Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes to end Roman Reigns' historic title run in WWE by defeating him at WrestleMania 39.

The main event of WrestleMania 39 Night 2 will see Reigns defending his WWE Undisputed Universal Championship against Rhodes, who won the 2023 Men's Royal Rumble to earn a shot. According to Jarrett, it would benefit everyone involved if Cody Rhodes were to defeat and end Roman Reigns' historic title run.

Speaking on his My World podcast, Jarrett said that if Reigns refuses to "do the honors" of putting Rhodes over, it could hurt his credibility as a top star in the company.

"There's only one finish. If Roman didn't do the honors, I truly believe it would hurt Roman worse than it would hurt Cody... To me, it's a no-brainer," Jarrett said. [H/T - Wrestling Inc.]
