While the moment was heartwarming, the result of the match was heartbreaking. Cody suffered a terrible loss at the hands of Roman Reigns thanks to The Bloodline members, who constantly made their presence felt and ran interference.

Solo Sikoa proved to be the difference in the end as he took Cody out with a Samoan Spike, allowing Roman to pick up the win after hitting a spear.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
