Cody Rhodes on How the Ending Played Out for WrestleMania 40

– During a recent appearance on Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg, WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Cody Rhodes discussed how there wasn’t any time to stop and smell the roses after winning the title at WrestleMania 40, how the finish played out in the main event, and more. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Cody Rhodes on not having time to stop and smell the roses after WrestleMania: “It just started moving immediately, I mean the next morning you’re doing Good Morning America, and you’re in the ring and you’re swapping titles with The Rock, and in moments it just keeps going and I think that’s probably for the best because I don’t have time to necessarily smell the roses with this full international PLE schedule that’s been delivered to us. These are so important to this renaissance, to this new era, is that these shows really show the global footprint of WWE.” 

On his win at WrestleMania 40: “It far superseded the dream I had … I did genuinely have this fantasy booking of involving different legends, but I’d always envisioned it as maybe if it was after the bell or something of that nature. I won’t go into the full fantasy booking of it, but what ultimately would take place at WrestleMania 40 was like that on you know, steroids. It was like that on another level in terms of the individuals that all came together.”
