Cody Rhodes says he welcomes the idea of a triple threat match with Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn at WrestleMania.
At WWE Royal Rumble, Cody Rhodes made his in-ring return at #30 and went on to win the Men’s Royal Rumble match to punch his ticket for the main event of WrestleMania 39.
However, who Rhodes will face at the Showcase of Immortals is still unclear with Reigns defending the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber on February 18.
Many fans have called for Zayn to be included in some way in the WrestleMania main event and view him as the person who should dethrone Reigns with The Bloodline storyline at fever pitch right now.
Speaking on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Cody made it clear that he welcomes the idea of a triple threat match with Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
When asked if he prefers the match to be one-on-one or a possible triple threat, Rhodes answered:
“No, I don’t really have a preference. Solely because I want to wrestle the best. People wanted a contender forever. So if two show up, don’t be mad.”
“Don’t make it about A or B, or B or A, or one or two. Enjoy it all. That’s really been kind of the challenge.”
“I can’t begrudge a dude for getting super hot. I have no preference in terms of the direction it goes.”
“I really look forward to the moments when I’m in there if they happen, Sami, whether that’s just on the Road to WrestleMania, because I think it’s different than people think. I think he’s doing amazing.”
“The American Nightmare” continued on to state that he is looking forward to what will happen in Montreal at Elimination Chamber and at WrestleMania, saying:
“So yeah, bring it all together. Hey, who knows? Who knows what happens in Montreal? Who knows what happens at WrestleMania? One of the reasons I keep serene, peace, and calm is because I don’t know what’s gonna happen.”
“I’m not the Executive Vice President label. I still think like some people think I’ve got that EVP stroke, I barely had it in the first place. Like I said, I want to play quarterback, I want to get in the game, and I’ll compete for that position.”
