Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet to talk about a number of topics including what he felt on the night he became the champion.
Rhodes said, “I didn’t sleep. I went right to The Today Show. I laid in a bunk and I texted a bunch of people, including The Undertaker and now Undertaker has a podcast and a stage show so things you might say could become public knowledge, these legends, that’s what they do. I left him what I would say as a rambling, perhaps intoxicated little rant just thanking him for being there. It’s the frickin sheriff. But yeah, immediately after, I said it in the behind-the-scenes documentary, but it’s really how I felt.”
“I was almost worried there’d be a sense of completion, this sense of fullness. I was genuinely concerned like, well, the story is over. But as soon as it was done, it felt like literally [I was] 10 feet tall, felt bulletproof, felt younger, felt faster, like just didn’t feel grizzled at all, to the point where I thought, Oh, this is going to be a lot of fun. But what do we do next?”
