WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes recently spoke in an interview with Mike Chiari ofBleacher Report. Even though he’s facing an uncertain path toWrestleMania 40, The American Nightmare showed unwavering confidence—boldly declared that he’s snatching victory at the Royal Rumble this weekend.
His eyes are set on the grand prize – challengingRoman Reignsfor the Universal Championship in theWrestleManiashowdown. The son of The American Dream said:
“I’m winning the Royal Rumble. And then I think we’re supposed to wait and say, ‘Hey, this is who I want to challenge,’ but if anyone’s been watching the story, then they know exactly who I want to challenge and when I want to challenge them, and right the wrong that happened at WrestleMania 39.”
With this, he’s not buying into the idea thatDwayne Johnsonwill throw a wrench into the storyline he’s been carefully crafting for the past two years. As per Rhodes, Johnson will likely face someone else:
“Nothing but respect. I’m a Rock fan. I don’t think he’s the type that would come in & meddle with a story that’s been being told over the past two years. I think he’s probably up to something else, but you never know with WWE.”
It is literally a bold stance, considering the unpredictability of wrestling narratives. So, fans have to tune in to this Saturday’s premium live event to see the next chapter in Cody Rhodes’ journey toWrestleMania 40.
