In the aftermath of the latest RAW episode in Houston, Texas, Cody Rhodes has conveyed a heartfelt message to the WWE Universe.
Set to engage in a monumental clash with Seth Rollins against The Rock and Roman Reigns of The Bloodline during Night 1 of WrestleMania 40, Rhodes is fervently eyeing the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship showdown against Reigns on Night 2.
In an emotional interview with Michael Cole on RAW, Rhodes passionately spoke about concluding his narrative, pledging to clinch the championship at WrestleMania.

A fan, sharing their son’s enjoyment of the previous night’s show, reached out to Rhodes on social media. In response, Rhodes succinctly expressed his appreciation, stating, “Great crowd in Houston!”
Having won the Men’s Royal Rumble match last year, Rhodes faced a setback against Reigns at WrestleMania 39. Solo Sikoa’s interference played a crucial role, aiding The Tribal Chief in retaining the title.
If Rhodes and Rollins emerge victorious against The Bloodline in the Night 1 tag team encounter, it would prevent the faction from meddling in the Night 2 championship bout.
However, not everyone is moved by Rhodes’ emotional journey. Former WWE writer Vince Russo criticized Rhodes on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW show, condemning his tears on national television. Russo expressed frustration, stating,
“This is why real men have been turned off to professional wrestling.”
He argued that witnessing grown wrestlers cry weekly is a turn-off for a certain audience.
Despite the criticism, Rhodes made a significant impact on the past Friday’s edition of SmackDown. He boldly slapped The Rock in the face, setting the stage for an intriguing response from The Great One this Friday night.
As WrestleMania 40 approaches, Cody Rhodes continues to be at the center of attention, his emotions and determination driving the narrative of his pursuit for championship glory.
