Cody Rhodes Thinks ‘Finishing The Story’ Has To Happen At WrestleMania

If Cody Rhodes is going to finish his story, WrestleMania is where he believes it should happen. 

Cody Rhodes failed to “finish the story” at WrestleMania 39, losing to Roman Reigns in the main event of the show after interference from Solo Sikoa. Rhodes is back on the road to WrestleMania as he once again tries to finish the story. 

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Rhodes was asked if the story of winning the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship must be finished at WrestleMania. 

“I don’t think I have a definitive answer, but I will tell you, I think it does. The reason being, if last year, the match had gone differently. If last year Roman had just beaten me 1-2-3, right in the middle, I just crumbled under the lights and I wasn’t on his level, that’s a different story. The way the match unfolded and the year I have, it feels like it has to be at WrestleMania. It just seems like it’s coming full circle. Everything can change. You have to get to WrestleMania in the first place, whether you win the Royal Rumble or the Elimination Chamber. It’s not an easy task. It would have been different if this was the first time. This is a rematch. I feel like the rematch needs to take place where the original match took place. Just my gut. Is there a world where it doesn’t happen there, sure, perhaps, but in my lay down at night and go to sleep dreams, it would be at WrestleMania, especially since I love Philadelphia,” he said.

The first step in potentially finishing the story would be for Rhodes to win the Royal Rumble.
