Cody Rhodes discusses his championship aspirations.
Since the introduction of the World Heavyweight Championship back in May, many fans have wondered if Cody Rhodes will end up eventually holding the belt, as he was unable to defeat Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39 to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
In a new interview with Fightful, Rhodes was asked if there was ever a thought in his mind that WWE would put the World Heavyweight Championship to finish his story of chasing gold in the company.
"I don’t think that was ever something in terms of on the table because it was very clear to every body, new people, young infrastructure people, all the way up to the top brass, what my story and goal when returning was. I’m talking about the physical hardware of the belt. Anytime a belt is new and shows up, every superstar, we all want it. Just now, I signed a replica one at an appearance. ‘Man, it’s very nice.’ We all have gold fever for these titles. The way it came out of that press conference made it sound non-important. That’s as important of a title as it can possibly be, it’s just not related to the ‘finish the story’ theme."
Fightful then asked Rhodes about potentially winning the World Heavyweight Championship, and if it would put a bit of a damper on his story finally being finished.
"No, what happens is what happens. This is a very unpredictable world. It gets more unpredictable by the day. Every day there is some level of news, scandal, excitement, something. I believe, sincerely, this run that I have been lucky to get, and also have earned, I want to let it ride and see where it goes. I don’t look at it as diminishing anything. It’s a massive title that represent Raw, which is the show I’m on."
Elsewhere in the interview, Rhodes talked about how he's currently building towards the "Ultimate Pop". Fans can learn more by clicking here.
