"Charles Robinson handing me the title, even now I'm just like tensing up think about it. Charles Robinson handing me the title was the happiest memory I could possibly have. We talked about at the beginning of this interview in terms of willing something new into existence, it doesn't always happen, it's not always a happy ending and I wasn't going to get the opportunity to wrestle him again really if we didn't get it done. And Charles handing me the title ... He might be the type that we don't have to say anything to each other, but that was incredibly special."
Rhodes also expressed that the Hall Of Fame ceremony preceding WrestleMania 40 was another favorite moment of his, as he felt WWE went out of its way to make him feel special. He continued to share how important it was to have dinner with his family and his AEW friends that came to support him, as well as wishing that Shawn Spears could've been in the ring with him after winning the title.
