Cody Rhodes says he wouldn’t have changed a thing during the buildup to WrestleMania 40.
While speaking with DDP for a new interview, Rhodes discussed his feud with The Rock and Roman Reigns going into WWE’s Showcase of the Immortals. He said,
“I know we could have made anything work in any direction we took it, however, I feel like if I had to do this all over again, I wouldn’t want anything to change. The story was different in terms of it wasn’t as simple as comes back to WWE, wins WWE Championship. There was things that needed to happen, individuals I needed to be in the ring with, people I needed to be around.”
Rhodes continued, “Also, the WWE audience, the wrestling audience, I have nothing but positive things to say about the fans ever. I can’t find a negative in anything that they do. But they didn’t have to respond to me the way that they did. You can set the booking or the matches that you’re in or the TV time that you get, these things we’re trying to lead the audience, but they could’ve fully rejected me. Here’s this guy, he went off and started his own company, he was real bitter about how he left, midcard, jobber, all of this, they really could’ve gone a different way with it and that wasn’t the case. Somebody asked me at Mania, why do you think [they’ve stuck with you] and the only thing I could tell them was that I think it resonated with them, my story is a real story. Wrestling is a suspension of disbelief, but when it’s real it’s just the best.”
The official YouTube account of ‘WWE Vault’ recently uploaded a rare FCW match featuring Bo Dallas and Bray Wyatt teaming up to face off against The Usos. You can check that out below:
