Cody Rhodes Discusses Peers Reaction To WrestleMania Main Event

WWE

The American Nightmare is set to main event WrestleMania 39 after he won the 2023 Royal Rumble match.

Cody is set to face off with Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on the show, and the graphics for the match have been made.

Cody spoke to SportsKeeda’s WrestleBinge, where he discussed the reaction to the match from his peers in wrestling.

Cody said that he’s trying to not be ‘too high’ on the love he’s getting from his peers, saying:

“I will say that it’s been very — the graphic, the poster came out WrestleMania the other day, and the amount of text I got from people in the industry that I worked with a ton of times, but also the people I worked with just maybe one time, the amount of love that was given was really — obviously, I’m a sentimental guy, is very touching, but also really put a level of responsibility on me.

“It’s great to hear someone say, ‘He’s the right guy to face the guy,’ but, for me personally, I have to go out and execute. I have to go out and deliver. It can’t just be a pipe dream. It can’t just be hope. It has to be hope and execution, and that’s where I’m at.

“So I’ve tried not to get too high on the love that I’m getting from my peers in the business or get too down on any criticism that I might be getting as well just because none of it matters unless you go out there and execute and give them something to really just love and cherish. WrestleMania being the biggest thing we do, that’s what I aim to do.”
