Cody Rhodes Addresses WWE Clash In Italy Finish, Open to Rematch With Gunther

Cody Rhodes knows that his match with Gunther at WWE Clash in Italy didn’t have the cleanest finish, and he’s up to run it back. Rhodes defeated Gunther in the opening match of Sunday’s PLE. However, the match ended in a bit of controversy as Gunther’s foot was under the rope when the count started.

He also spoke about his successful match record against Gunther. You can see highlights below:

On the Finish of the Match:

“I think it’s important, because I know you’re going to ask me about it and I know everyone saw it. I didn’t see it in the moment, I definitely saw it in the replay. If Gunther wants a rematch, I would do a rematch with Gunther right here, right now. And if anyone deserves one — you can throw all the preexisting issues between us away. If anyone deserves one, he certainly deserves one. So I understand, ‘Hey, a win’s a win.’ But that’s not how you want to do it, especially in front of a wonderful crowd like this. And if he wants one, I’m here for it.”

On His Successful Record Against Gunther:

“I’ll tell you, E. It’s something that Joe Tess and I… It’s really a matter of, I think — and I’m not saying it with any arrogance, I said it to [Tessitore]. Sometimes you have someone’s number, and I think I have his number. But I also thought I had Seth Rollins’ number. And when we went to the fourth [match], when he got me. Gunther is not someone you can take lightly, but maybe it is a matter of, the styles match and they behoove me.”
