On a recent edition of the “Cheap Heat” podcast, WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Cody Rhodes shared his insights on the aftermath of his victory at WrestleMania 40.
Rhodes discussed his lack of leisure time to relish his magnanimous accomplishment and the details of how the main event’s finish played out.
Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns to win the title on the second night of WrestleMania XL.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On not having time to stop and smell the roses after WrestleMania: “It just started moving immediately, I mean the next morning you’re doing Good Morning America, and you’re in the ring and you’re swapping titles with The Rock, and in moments it just keeps going and I think that’s probably for the best because I don’t have time to necessarily smell the roses with this full international PLE schedule that’s been delivered to us. These are so important to this renaissance, to this new era, is that these shows really show the global footprint of WWE.”
On his win at WrestleMania 40: “It far superseded the dream I had … I did genuinely have this fantasy booking of involving different legends, but I’d always envisioned it as maybe if it was after the bell or something of that nature. I won’t go into the full fantasy booking of it, but what ultimately would take place at WrestleMania 40 was like that on you know, steroids. It was like that on another level in terms of the individuals that all came together.”
