In an interview with The Ringer Wrestling podcast, newly-signed WWE superstar Cody Rhodes discussed several topics, including how he felt in the moments before his WWE return at WrestleMania Saturday to challenge Seth Rollins.

“Coming up on that lift was the first time I saw the grandeur, the showcase of immortals, all the things that WrestleMania is, a feeling that I’ll chase the rest of my life. If we never get another one, as a wrestler it’s always, I have to get another, what am I doing next year. If I don’t get another one, I feel so vindicated.

To go from nowhere on the card and no desire to have me and no priority, and that’s not a knock on anybody, to go out in the wilderness and try everything I could to make noise and change our business, pro wrestling, sports entertainment, whatever you want to call it, I felt like they appreciated it and I appreciated them.”
