WWE fans spotted Roman Reigns' reaction when he was getting pinned by Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40.

Rhodes 'finished the story' as he beat Reigns to become the new undisputed WWE universal champion.

The main-event showdown, which was held under Bloodline Rules, saw The Rock, John Cena and The Undertaker interfere in one of the greatest moments in wrestling history.

Rhodes pinned Reigns after a gruelling clash at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field.

After the match, Rhodes, who wore a 'The Story Continues' t-shirt, revealed that Triple H and Nick Khan presented him with the same watch his father pawned so he could go to drama school.

He also insists he's not friends with Reigns but holds him in high regards following his incredible reign as champion.

"We're not friends, but Roman Reigns was the greatest championship in sport and entertainment," he said.
