WWE Name Shares Honest Thoughts On Cody Rhodes WrestleMania Loss

WWE

WWE commentator Corey Graves has shared his honest thoughts on the reaction to Roman Reigns win over Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39.

With Cody Rhodes returning from injury just in time to win the Royal Rumble, many predicted that the former AEW EVP would defeat Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship, and fulfil his promise to claim the WWE Title in honor of his late father, Dusty Rhodes.

To the surprise of many, this ultimately didn’t happen, with the Tribal Chief successfully defending his gold, following interference from Solo Sikoa.

Speaking on the After The Bell podcast, Corey Graves compared Cody’s loss to the many setbacks Dusty experienced throughout his career.

Advising fans to ‘just wait’, Corey said:

“Look back to a person that was (name) dropped multiple times during the lead-up to Roman and Cody, that being ‘The American Dream’ Dusty Rhodes.

“Dusty became the common man because Dusty constantly came up short, usually due to no fault of his own. But people connected with that, people understand that.

“People live vicariously through WWE superstars, and there were a million people around the world in Cody’s boots with him.”

“Whatever you take away from it, that’s fine. You’re not wrong. If you made a YouTube video cussing and swearing about how you’re done, you don’t like WWE anymore, good.

“Good, because you feel that emotion.

“Just wait because it’s going to get better.”

Cody Rhodes is now set to feud with Brock Lesnar, who attacked him on Monday’s edition of WWE Raw.
