Cody Rhodes returned to in-ring competition at the Royal Rumble and he punched his ticket for WrestleMania when he won the 30 man Royal Rumble match. Rhodes is currently set to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on the Grandest Stage of Them All, but he’s already got some fresh feuds in mind for after WrestleMania.
The American Nightmare recently appeared on The AJ Awesome Show, and he explained that he wants to face Johnny Gargano because they were going head to head on Wednesday nights when Rhodes was with AEW. He then went on to talk about his history with Edge while naming him as a possible future opponent.
“The other one is Edge. I’ve told some people that before. I don’t think I’ve told Edge that because I don’t want to seem adversarial or confrontational. But I don’t know how much time Edge has left. He could do this forever if he wanted to. He’s in better shape than every locker room combined for some reason.
But when I was on SmackDown, I remember was a really good locker room leader, a true locker room leader, would he able to pull you aside for a note here and there but wasn’t overbearing. But he looked at me as a child, a kid. Those people who look at you as a kid, you want to one day stand opposed and let them know you’re not a kid anymore. Lately we’ve been on the right side of things, for example with The Judgment Day and stuff, but he’s still one I’d love to just test it out, shake his hand and then find out who’s better at the actual wrestling that we do. Hall of Famer, he’s the real deal. He’s in that lofty air that very few are in. While he’s here, and he could be here forever, but while he’s here, I’d like to get that one.”
