Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes appeared on Vegas Revealed to talk about a number of topics, including how winning the championship is a dream come true and it is all he ever wanted.
Rhodes said, “It’s crazy. It’s a dream come true. It’s all you ever wanted, and for me, it’s what I wanted my whole career, but there are elements of responsibility that came with it, that I’m not saying I wasn’t mature enough or I wasn’t ready for it, but it’s almost like you become a defacto member of the office. That’s been a little different for me. One thing I love leaning into is the leadership element to it. The show really goes down based on what the WWE Champion is doing. For me, I like that. There are so many young talent coming up from NXT. I like trying to be a leader and I try to be a leader by example. Right now, WWE is in this incredibly prolific era. I’m very lucky to be along for the ride.”
