– During a recent appearance on Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg, WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Cody Rhodes discussed facing The Rock and Roman Reigns in a tag team match at WrestleMania 40: Night 1. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Cody Rhodes on being in the ring against The Rock: “The reason I was so excited to be in there with [The Rock] and for him to feel like, ‘Oh, they like this guy’ … I want him to know, hey, your industry is gonna be alright. This guy next to me, Seth [Rollins], he’s taking it to new heights. That guy next to you, Roman [Reigns], he’s gonna keep moving it to new heights. And me? Whether you believe it or not, I’m gonna try to do the same.”
On how he feels like he could be doing more: “I always feel like I could be doing more. When it’s in your makeup to just keep going … [the feeling of being ‘the guy’] doesn’t cross your mind.”
At last Saturday’s WWE Backlash France premium live event, Cody Rhodes successfully defended his title against AJ Styles in his first televised title defense. The event was held at the LDLC Arena in Lyon, France. It was broadcast live on Peacock.
