Cody Rhodes returned to the ring back in January and he earned a title shot when he won the 30 man Royal Rumble match. Cody is currently set to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania, but there are some people who think that Sami Zayn should be in that spot.
Sami Zayn has been white hot over the last few months, but Cody Rhodes recently explained on the Out of Character podcast that he looks at Sami Zayn’s popularity as a challenge.
“I look at it as a challenge. It’s probably the best way to look at it and not a negative challenge. A challenge of (…) Sami’s doing amazing things. You’ve got to, you didn’t just buy yourself some future spot. You’ve got to get back in there and show people exactly what you can do. And actually the photo you have now [Rhodes and Zayn face-to-face on RAW] was a really fine moment for me because what a great problem to have when you have two very strong characters. And one of the worst things we can do as a community is try and turn the characters against one another.”
Cody also went on to note that he and Sami have a real genuine relationship when he added, “Sami and I have a real genuine relationship. I never looked at it in a sense that I thought anything of, ‘well, if they love him, and if that I’ve been so lucky that they love me in this moment too, I better make sure I give them the absolute best.’ I never once looked at it as a problem. I looked at it as a challenge and for WWE as a whole, a great problem to have. And I think Brooklyn, every show is a little more telling, but Brooklyn in the Barclays Center was that filled me with confidence as far as their belief in what he’s doing and their belief in what I’m doing. There are stories to be finished here for both sides.”
