Cody Rhodes Says Leaving WrestleMania 40 Without A Title Would Be A “Failure”

Cody Rhodes was recently interviewed by Shakiel Mahjouri of CBS Sports, where he discussed several topics. Among them were his thoughts on WrestleMania 40, his WrestleMania moment, his time in AEW, and more.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

On leaving WrestleMania 40 without a championship:

“Ultimately, that’s a failure. It’d be a failed year. I hope that doesn’t come to pass…” Rhodes told CBS Sports while celebrating another bucket list achievement as the WWE 2K24 cover star. “Doubt is a beautiful thing. For people to take the ride with you. I doubted that Daniel Bryan could survive a match with Triple H and then survive a triple-threat match to get out of WrestleMania 30 how he did. But it was a marvelous moment. I don’t mind doubts at all. I, myself, can’t have any regarding everything else that’s going on. I have to be straight and narrow as far as where I’d like to go and how I’d like to get there.”
