Cody Rhodes Discusses Similarities Between All In & WrestleMania 39

ROH/WWE

The build towards Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns’ WrestleMania main event officially kicked off on last night’s episode of SmackDown.

During Reigns and Rhodes’ promo segment on the show, Rhodes made reference to All In, and how ‘10,000 people wouldn’t pay to see he and his friends’ little Indie show’.

Rhodes spoke on the AJ Awesome Show, where he revealed that he has been thinking a lot about All In in the lead up to WrestleMania, and the similarities between the shows.

He said:

“I think it’s funny how much I’ve thought about All In as of late because the feeling going into that show was like no other feeling I’ve ever had. You could feel something major was happening. Something was in the air; you’re talking to people in the airport randomly as you’re going by talking to you about the show. You’re getting noticed more all this is happening and like percolating, and I’ve only had that feeling then and now going into WrestleMania.

“Everyone who stops me doesn’t just stop to say hi or do pictures. They’re specifically stopping me [to say], ‘I can’t wait to see WrestleMania. Hey, I’m going to be at WrestleMania. I’m gonna be there both nights.’ That feels like it’s a big fight. It feels like a boxing match, and I’ve only had that feeling one time before in my career, and it was way back then. So yeah, so much has happened, and so much of it, I don’t regret any bit of it. I’m saying that on RAW, not a bit not a thing didn’t go to plan because even the things that didn’t go to plan ended up putting us in this wonderful position here again.

“Had we done this interview five years ago, I would have said I deserve it. I’m this I’m that I was undesirable. I would have laid it out with a whole kind of bragger and arrogance, and I think that’s maybe still in here. But the truth is, I really do feel sincerely blessed to be welcomed back by this locker room. Blessed beyond to be welcomed back by this audience and really lucky, very lucky to be in the spot. So yeah, we’ve changed.”
