It’s so nice that Cody is allowed to talk about his career outside of wwe. Being able to connect to him more as a wrestler. Acknowledging the fact that he never stopped wrestling and how his career path has been going. Can’t wait for his wrestlemania moment
it has a lot to do with the fact that hunter has taken over creative, and that this was posted by bt sports which have been known to mention other companies and wrestlers in their posts about wwe. like last year, they were the ones that got the whole jay white being a surprise entrant in the rumble going.
I always found it to be ridiculous that the WWE refused to talk about other promotions. It literally does no harm and only helps increase the value of X wrestler, seems like they're very slowly going into a direction of acknowledging other promotions in the last few years so it's definitely a step in the right direction.
@@valeriudragalin8800 no he's right. The others deserve much more. The WWE did what the WWE does best and that is push guys that are part time or in Cody's case from the competition. How does it look now that a former AEW talent mid carder is now in the main event scene for mania? Looks bad and to be honest Sammy Zayn needs to be the contender if it's NOT going to be the Rock.
From All In to WrestleMania. From Undesirable to undeniable. One more step to immortality, and achieving The American Dream just by fully embracing the nightmare. What a beautiful journey this has been❤️
@@FettsFrequency These same fans caused batista to never wanna return to wwe and batista is a legend and they will do the same with Cody Rhodes lol. How in God's green earth is Sami zayn gonna beat roman reigns lol.
@@imsayyam Difference is Daniel Bryan was booked strong against authority, randy orton and John Cena before he main evented wrestlemania 30,he had alot of momentum. Sami Zayn has zero momentum he never won a big fued in years except cutting good promos on the mic. Sami zayn never stepped a day in the gym in all of 2022 and I'm supposed to believe this guy will beat roman reigns lmfao.
Yeah I liked him since Aew he got much better like a homegrown Aew talent & now this is the perfect time for him to take roof of in wwe & get wwe championship
A company guy but in the best possible way, his love of pro wrestling (regardless of company) is so evident. Everyone wins when we don’t pretend that no other company exists, so glad Vince isn’t forcing talent to pretend otherwise. Think Cody could have a really memorable title run
@@satyakibhattacharya4339 Nah, he could've answered them but chose not to. He then went on to act like Ariel was the bad guy for asking questions anyone would and which we all wanted answers to
Low-key want it to be Cody vs Sami ... Think about the pop he'll get winning in Montreal. I doubt it but let's see. Either way, WrestleMania is gonna be a banger 💯
@@TheTrueSpadeSupreme well i think only guys like mjf who keep kayfabe outside the ring can pull off those kayfabe interviews , for others it just feels weird
Excellent interview. Well spoken. Class act. Has really really matured. Just concerned If the peck injury will be an issue going forward being out. Could see it colouring during the match.
The colouring happened cause of the slaps from Gunther. If that peck injury would've been an issue in the future they wouldn't even cleared him for tonight. colouring and bruised chest are nothing special anymore in Wrestling. For an example just watch the Gunther vs Sheamus Match at the Clash of the Castle in Cardiff.
Cody is so humble for winning the rumble not letting this get his head so big . I know he's making his dad R.I.P happy Dusty is so proud of him looking down on him
After Cody is done being WWE & Universal Champion, I would love to see him capture the Intercontinental Championship again or capture the US Championship for the first time. (Especially as the American Nightmare) 🇺🇸
Joe Gacy and Carmelo Hayes just got themselves a strong supporter among the prominent guys in the WWE. If they do their parts, I'm sure Cody would be there to back them up once they get the call to the Main Roster.
Cody should of one MITB multipole times in his career, and if what I heard years ago, he was slated to win on a few different occasions before plans changed. So I am genuinely happy for him finally getting a big accolade in WWE. Congrats Cody!
The returning Cody Rhodes returning at a time when the majority doesn’t want him to dethrone Roman. It’s about Sami. Fans will turn in him if he is pushed over Sami.
@@rawbarber9012 cody makes most sense. Sami and Kevin winning tag titles and have a fued will be great especially with jey. Roman hasn't faced this cody. This cody is the most credible threat to Roman's titles
It was kinda obvious he was gonna win thr rumble match I don't think anyone didnt expect it. I was going for brock and lashley but I that a wrestlemania match itself. But Cody was my pick to win he just got that it factor and it been like that. What night at the rumble I must agree
The story isn't even about Roman and Sami, that's surface level. It's always been about Sami and Jey and their parallels. If last night didn't engrain that into people's heads, then there's no hope for those people and they're irrelevant noise makers.
Was a good plan. Cody can now do mostly mic work and some mixed up tag until he feels up for something more. Meanwhile we build to WM. Looks like we will have Roman vs Cody Lashley vs Lesnar Paul vs Seth Becky vs Bailey Sami vs KO. Here we go again, again. Not the best Royal Rumble. Gunther got some good rub but most of the match felt clunky and contrived. Women's match wasn't much to talk about either. I feel bad for LA Knight. That guy should have been one of the last few remaining in the Rumble, not doing whatever that was.
Triple H did the right thing by having men's Rumble opening the show. The only surprise was Cody's entry number. This would've been a letdown had it been the main event.
I dont' think so. Everybody and i mean EVERYBODY! wants him to succeed. Not a single Rhodes had won a World Championship in WWE yet which means history needs to get completed because there is no way that a Royal Wrestling Family like the Rhodes doesn't have a WWE World Heavyweight Champion in their Legacy.
Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer didn't think Cody and other couldn't sell out a 10,000 plus arena so Cody replied "bet".... then him and others sold out 11,000, tickets in less than 30 minutes. Months later that led to AEW starting and they did about 4 ppvs of similar scale that sold out just as quick before they even started their weekly tv show 10 months later. Cody played a massive part in changing the whole wrestling landscape.
Why is he not interviewing the real winner Rey? He was never eliminated. He was never replaced in the match. Cody left the ring over the top rope. Rey won the 2023 Royal Rumble
Depends on how they play their cards. Cody's story of winning the big one for daddy is just as compelling as Sami's. Once Cody and Roman start interacting, it's gonna be HUGE. We'll see how they pull it off

Cody is always a great interview for old stories n funny stuff n emotions
What a tremendous story. Cody winning tonight brought tears to my eyes. He deserves everything that’s coming his way!

Fair play to him. I've never been his biggest fan but he's made himself look like a star.

The AEW match against his brother was my favorite Cody moment. That was absolutely epic and one of the best matches I’ve ever seen.
i enjoy how calm, down to earth and real Cody so i am rooting for him
It's crazy to me that his favorite moment wasn't his match with Dustin... That match (chef's kiss) perfect!
Those interviews that look slightly behind the scenes are awesome. I do miss the full kayfabe ones though 😂
Full kayfabe doesn't connect anymore in today's world.
@@TheTrueSpadeSupreme well i think only guys like mjf who keep kayfabe outside the ring can pull off those kayfabe interviews , for others it just feels weird
Okay this interview is nice and all but I really want to know if Cody hates Dana White as much as Ariel does.

@@jaimesandoval5774 why
He should hate Dana White, been terrible to Ariel
Why would Cody hate Dana?
@@ivanvargas2425 r/woosh
I became a cody fan when he appeared in Wrestlekingdom 11 and faced Juice Robinson, I knew he was destined for greatness.
I love his appearance he just looks evil and cool in a good way. P.s I haven’t watched him in like 10 years
He's really become my current favorite wrestler. I love everything going on with Cody.
Real humble and gain a lot of respect for betting on yourself and growing as a man and wrestler. Salate

*I like this guy because wants to bring back the old WWF Championship: The Wing Eagled Belt* 👌
That would be sick! 👌
Cody Rhodes needs to beat Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39!!!
Thought Gunther deserved it but difficult to storyline him with Reigns.
Imperium vs the Bloodline would be great
This set up Gunther for huge things to come
I think Cody paid tribute to the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega after he won as he did the Too Sweet hand gesture followed by gun fingers.
He did. He said in the presser afterwards he was paying homage to who helped get him where he's at now.
Cody is awesome.
This was a great interview. It was a work but felt real.
So happy Cody Rhodes won the Royal Rumble! The WM main event where he belongs 🙌
LOL..no
Congratulations to both rumble winners. All the best to both of them in 2023
Cody points to the WrestleMania sign. Just beautiful
He said he regret doing a list over there about the Best professional wrestlers in the world and Roman reigns isn't in it 😂
Cody should of one MITB multipole times in his career, and if what I heard years ago, he was slated to win on a few different occasions before plans changed.
So I am genuinely happy for him finally getting a big accolade in WWE.
Congrats Cody!
Huge fan of his dad obviously, his brother both as Dustin and Goldust and huge fan of Cody he's gonna have a great baby face run as world champion
gotta love this guy
One of THE best wrestling interviews of all-time by two top-tier professionals.
HHH is doing amazing making these interviews happen, Mr McMahon Wouldn't let this happen
The handsome Cody, OMG His voice ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Anyone who likes Cody likes the emotional interviews. It’s a trademark
Finally getting the push he deserved
Cody Rhodes is one of my favourites wrestle
Same.
Really wanted it to be Sami and I really like Cody but Sami been killing it
Agreed. I said the same thing. Cody makes far less sense than Sammy.
Plus he wasn't in the match
@@rawbarber9012 cody makes most sense. Sami and Kevin winning tag titles and have a fued will be great especially with jey. Roman hasn't faced this cody. This cody is the most credible threat to Roman's titles

The prodigal son has returned. Welcome back bro
Cody is a gent!
Most predictable winner in years and yet still very welcome!
This guy is everything!

Wow🔥

I LOVE THIS GUY
as a something to wrestle with fan hearing him mention bruce is so cool
Cody getting injured was blessing in disguise. He won't lost roman in at SummerSlam.
I always saw the potential
Scranton PA here. Wilkes Barre is 20 min away. lol
I really hope he wins a WWE title to honour his father
So Happy for Cody!
Ariel is doing good so far in the pro wrestling space. He better not start doing the goofy sh@t! That would kill his career!
I love Cody so much
Cody is awesome he left WWE to find himself and now he is back and has manifested himself in the American Nightmare
Look, Dream, your baby boy did it, and we all got his back 😢
Such a good guy
Surprised he did not start crying

Camelo Hayes and Cody working out in the performance center. little Chaotic Wrestling callback
Good for Cody…I still have issues with him leaving AEW but he was the right call considering the Sami storyline later
How are they gonna shift Roman to Cody... The sami angle is so good and people are so invested that should be at wm....
Sami is not a draw ppl will be invested in the first promo with Rhodes and Reigns
The story isn't even about Roman and Sami, that's surface level. It's always been about Sami and Jey and their parallels. If last night didn't engrain that into people's heads, then there's no hope for those people and they're irrelevant noise makers.
Kinda wish he came out earlier in the rumble.
Me too honestly
Was a good plan. Cody can now do mostly mic work and some mixed up tag until he feels up for something more. Meanwhile we build to WM.
Looks like we will have
Roman vs Cody
Lashley vs Lesnar
Paul vs Seth
Becky vs Bailey
Sami vs KO. Here we go again, again.
Not the best Royal Rumble. Gunther got some good rub but most of the match felt clunky and contrived.
Women's match wasn't much to talk about either.
I feel bad for LA Knight. That guy should have been one of the last few remaining in the Rumble, not doing whatever that was.
Why would we have Sami VS KO? Makes no sense to the story line
@@MrJaybeezy123 more like Sami&KO vs The USOs

People said it was a massive mistake Cody Rhodes walking out on WWE…Man what a decision that turned out to be in retrospect
Stretching the final 2 spot to a singles match length was the most Cody thing. Dude always over delivers. This time it was in a good way
Triple H did the right thing by having men's Rumble opening the show. The only surprise was Cody's entry number. This would've been a letdown had it been the main event.
Nothing would have followed the sami / Roman ending

Naw
yeah probably around summerslam i reckon, it’s happened before to rumble winners everyone wanted to see win seth comes to mind immediately in 2019
So true and I can't wait
Cody deserves this! I know why he was 30, to not have him really get hurt, but they should have kept him a secret
is a gentleman

Luckily we have two titles
They can avoid that if they do the stuff right.
Ohh Stardust.
I expect Cody Rhodes to dethrone Roman Reigns at WrestleMania and end his more than 2 year reign as champ
Cant believe people still watch all this wwe stuff its fake and pre determined who wins
Cry
They shop at the same suit place!
The next wwe champ 💯💯
its time to split the titles...
I said it since Codys Return at WrestleMania that he can be THE Guy who beat Roman and take the Titles from him
The joe gacy comment is interesting to me.
Big win
Randy Orton was like a role model to Cody when randy eliminated triple edge
Damn i want Samy vs Roman more then Cody vs Roman now after that royal Rumble ending
Nahhhh!!!
Cool
Question: And KO does....?
Sami vs Roman is for Elimination Chamber
just a year ago , everyone beg him to be a heel
