Cody Rhodes: My Story Is Not A Lock, It’s Fragile, I Try To Make It A Lock

Cody Rhodes goes into detail about his current trajectory in WWE.

Despite the fact that WrestleMania 39 took place nearly four months, many fans are still shocked about the outcome of the night two main event, which saw Roman Reigns defeat Cody Rhodes in a Undisputed WWE Universal Championship bout. 

Going into the match, many fans expected ‘The American Nightmare’ to uncrown Reigns and take his place at the top of the company’s food chain.

In a new interview with Sam Roberts, Rhodes went into detail about how fans still had to believe in him after his loss to Reigns and how it was a tough task for him.

“Part of what we do is how happy they get and sometimes how furious they get. I was more surprised with the biggest task that came after. Minutes after, it dawned on me, to get back here, they have to still believe in me. I just lost in front of them, and they have to still believe. I’ve done some tough things. In the documentary, there are things said that could not be done, and we went and did them. The task of ‘can I get them to be on board even more after so many have invested, flown out, traveled, brought people.’ I remember seeing a guy in the crowd who had every piece of my merch on, every piece, and he was just staring at me. Grown man, hand on his hips, I caught eyes, I couldn’t break. I told him, ‘I’m sorry.’ That was the part that surprised me the most. Every place we go to, and knock on wood this continues to happen, every place we go to seems like more excitement. I don’t want to buy in and be like, ‘I knew it.’ No, it’s a tough task. They feel more excited, and a thing I noticed was fans are bringing signs back a lot more these days. Signs, that’s like the greatest thing ever. I had to make the point of trying to acknowledge each one of these. That really fills me up.”

Rhodes then went on to note that his story is not a lock, despite many fans thinking otherwise.

“I think we’re on pace to do something very special, but everything I do, is so fragile. It feels fragile, all great things are. The story of Cody Rhodes is not a lock. Getting back, it’s fragile, but I try to make it a lock.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Rhodes said he would “move mountains” to have Arn Anderson come to his aid one more time. Click here to learn more.
