I know what I want, I know what I’m working to attain. I had other challenges before. People didn’t think I’d survive Stardust, or that a non-WWE show could sell 10,000 tickets.

There have been plenty of times when people bet against me. Getting back, this is the biggest obstacle yet.

That’s my goal: get back. And that’s what I’m fighting to do.”

We will have to wait and see what WWE has planned for Cody Rhodes, now that he has toppled The Beast Incarnate. After all, WWE is clearly seeing great things in The American Nightmare.
