Jeff Jarrett comments on Cody Rhodes finishing his story.

At WWE WrestleMania XL, Cody Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. In doing so, he finished his story, which had been years in the making.

Speaking on his My World podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett commented on Cody Rhodes’ triumph.

“Lot of fun, man. Wrestling, everything is a story in life. It’s just how you look at it through a prism, what lens you want to put on. The beauty of professional wrestling is the interpretation of it, and everybody truly interprets our business on different levels, at different times. I’m not talking about the tribalism or the hardcore versus the casual versus the first-timer, whatever it may be. We all have a different spin and a different view of it, and what we like and dislike. But at the end of the day, it has a lot of tailwind, and I think it goes back many, many years. I think pre-pandemic, there was kind of a tailwind coming in a lot of ways, and with the launch of AEW, obviously, it built up a lot of steam. But you dive into that story, and Cody’s story, when you tie it all together, what’s that start in, [the] 70s? If you truly want to say, ‘When did this story start,’ it started in the 70s,” Jarrett said.

After sharing his thoughts on WWE’s new era, Jarrett circled back to Rhodes and highlighted the busy schedule he would have as a champion. He then quipped that Rhodes may have finished the story, but he had a new book in front of him.

“Cody worked Saturday night, worked Sunday night, on the TODAY Show, and he’ll be at Raw [on Monday]. What a grind. His story, finish the story? Well, buddy, he just saddled up. He’s got a brand-new book in front of him. He thinks he’s worked in the past, he’s about to work,” Jarrett said.

Charlotte Flair recently stated that Cody Rhodes was an example of knowing your worth. Check out her comments here.
