Top WWE Star and winner of the 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble Match “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes was a guest on WrestleBinge, where he discussed a variety of topics such as how the amount of love he has gotten from people in the pro wrestling industry since he made his return to the WWE is very touching and it has really put a level of responsibility on him.
“The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes said:
“I will say that it’s been very — the graphic, the poster came out WrestleMania the other day, and the amount of text I got from people in the industry that I worked with a ton of times, but also the people I worked with just maybe one time, the amount of love that was given was really — obviously, I’m a sentimental guy, is very touching, but also really put a level of responsibility on me.”
“The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes also talked about how none of the love he is receiving from fans and the entire pro wrestling industry matters unless he executes at WrestleMania 39.
“The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes said:
“It’s great to hear someone say, ‘He’s the right guy to face the guy,’ but, for me personally, I have to go out and execute. I have to go out and deliver. It can’t just be a pipe dream. It can’t just be hope. It has to be hope and execution, and that’s where I’m at. So I’ve tried not to get too high on the love that I’m getting from my peers in the business or get too down on any criticism that I might be getting as well just because none of it matters unless you go out there and execute and give them something to really just love and cherish. WrestleMania being the biggest thing we do, that’s what I aim to do.”
