Earlier this year Cody Rhodes won the Royal Rumble and he went on to finish his story when he defeated Roman Reigns to win the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 40.
The road to WrestleMania 40 was full of twists and turns as The Rock returned to seemingly set up a match with Roman Reigns on the Grandest Stage of Them All. After he won the Royal Rumble, Cody Rhodes stepped aside and gave up his title shot which led to a lot of talk about what the direction was for the WrestleMania main event.
Ultimately everything worked out for Cody Rhodes, but he recently shared some insight with Kenny McIntosh of Inside The Ropes regarding what was going through his mind as the situation was unfolding.
“If people knew the real plan for me, they’d be even more angry. I can’t share the real plan for you, The Rock plan, whatever it may be. That was going to be on my mind in terms of how do we make that work? How do we accomplish that? I had a really good team of people around me.
That’s where DDP hit me with the famous, whatever happens to you will be the best thing that ever happens to you line, and I thought, that’s insane, that’s madness. I don’t have a clue what you’re talking about, and he was right. Including if it had gone the other way, he would have been right because the audience was what mattered, and I got to be really quiet and I got to say nothing, I got to watch the fire grow and I realised maybe I had every right to be confident. Maybe I had every right to not be concerned. But yeah, definitely, let’s say it was a Wheatley Vodka-sponsored few days.”
