Reigns’ title reign has finally come to an end and a new era is upon the WWE Universe. Cody Rhodes has become the top champion for the first time in his WWE career. He celebrated the win with some of the biggest names in WWE, including John Cena, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, and CM Punk. Rhodes couldn’t control his tears as he finally managed to finish the story by dethroning The Tribal Chief.
