Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes spoke with Vegas Revealed on a number of topics, including how WrestleMania is a destination and the beginning and the end of their year.
Rhodes said, “WrestleMania is a destination. It’s a pilgrimage to get to the beginning. WrestleMania is the beginning and the end of our year. I finished the story at WrestleMania 40, but the new story starts the day after, that night even, heading to WrestleMania 41. The most diehard fans ever.”
On diehard wresting fans:
“One thing I love about our diehard fans, not gatekeepers. They know WrestleMania is going to be filled with people who have never been or maybe they were here 10, 15, 20 years ago and this is putting their toe back in the water. Wrestling fans aren’t gatekeepers. The more the merrier. Let’s fill the place up and have a great time.”
