Cody Rhodes has faced a long and challenging journey in the wrestling world. Despite coming from a famous wrestling family, it took him years to truly break through in WWE.

Before WrestleMania 40, Rhodes had never captured a World championship in WWE, making his quest feel like a personal mission. At WrestleMania 40, he finally completed his story in spectacular fashion by defeating Roman Reigns to become the Undisputed WWE Champion. This victory was not just a title win; it represented the culmination of years of hard work, resilience, and determination.

Cody Rhodes’ Post-WrestleMania 40 Victory Conversation With Triple H

Netflix’s new sports docuseries, WWE Unreal, gave fans a rare glimpse into a moment between Cody Rhodes and Triple H shortly after Rhodes’ WrestleMania triumph. The two discussed Rhodes’ character and possible future directions.

Cody Rhodes, freshly off his WrestleMania 40 victory, admitted, “I felt like such a bigger babyface tonight,” referring to his role as a heroic, fan-favorite character.

Triple H responded, “Dude, you’re as white meat as you can be. As f**king white meat as you can be.”

Rhodes then expressed his commitment to stay true to the babyface character, “Be that way until we can’t anymore,” signaling an openness to change.

Triple H replied, “That… It ain’t going anywhere. Right now, we just gotta navigate it. That’s our f**king job. Our job, me, you, f**king everybody. But we navigate this now and figure out where we need to get it.”

Rhodes concluded with a respectful, “Yes, sir.”

It’s been more than a year since The American Nightmare teased a heel turn to HHH. According to veterans and critics alike, his character change might soon materialize at SummerSlam.
