Cody Rhodes Says He Didn’t Have A ‘Plan B’ For WrestleMania If He Didn’t Main Event, ‘I Would Have Considered It A Failure’

Cody Rhodes is headed back to the main event of WrestleMania as the Undisputed WWE Champion. Rhodes recaptured the title from Drew McIntyre on SmackDown, setting him up to face Randy Orton, who won the men’s Elimination Chamber.

This will be Cody’s fourth straight WrestleMania main event.

Speaking to Complex Graps, Cody was asked if he had a “Plan B” if he didn’t win the title back.

“I didn’t have a ‘plan B.’ It becomes champagne problems when you main event WrestleMania. The first time I did it, I didn’t win, but I got the taste for it, and the goal becomes, ‘I’m gonna main event WrestleMania again, but I’m going to win this time.’ The first Saturday, I didn’t win. Then, on Sunday in Philly, I did. The taste and addiction becomes, ‘I’m going to come right back to this spot’ and we did with John Cena and Vegas. I’m not sure what Plan B would have looked like. In my mind, not to use such a harsh term, I would have considered it a failure, but on my behalf. Maybe a failure on my behalf would have found me inspired or doing something different. I’m not sure. I really felt I needed to get back to Vegas. I didn’t have a Plan B,” he said.

Cody asked the hosts what they thought plan B might be for him, and they mentioned Jacob Fatu and Sami Zayn. Cody liked both of those suggestions.
