After a Stellar WrestleMania 38 Appearance, Rhodes Expresses His Deep Connection with WWE

Cody Rhodes has carved a niche for himself, journeying through the industry’s top promotions since his 2006 debut. From his initial days in WWE to his stints in Impact Wrestling, ROH, NJPW, and even co-founding AEW, Rhodes’ wrestling odyssey has been nothing short of spectacular. Yet, in a candid conversation with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Rhodes revealed that his heart truly lies with WWE, referring to it as his “home.”

Reflecting on the overwhelming response post-WrestleMania 38, Rhodes shared, “Night after WrestleMania in Dallas, I saw so many kids in the crowd who didn’t care about what I had done for three years or the ten years before that. They were present in the moment. They thought the guy who had just come in was cool, and they were going to be part of it and they liked the energy.” This immediate bond with the audience, especially the younger fans, solidified his belief in WWE being his rightful place.

Rhodes’ triumphant return at WrestleMania 38, where he emerged as the mystery opponent for Seth Rollins, was a testament to his enduring legacy and the start of a new chapter in his illustrious career.
