Cody Rhodes References Brock Lesnar On WWE SmackDown, WrestleMania 41 Card
On this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, Cody Rhodes made a memorable appearance, showcasing several iconic WWE Championship belts, including the original Undisputed Title, the Winged Eagle, and the Spinner Belt. He emphasized the legacy of the title and declared that being Undisputed WWE Champion makes him the best in the world.
Rhodes gave a nod to DEFY Wrestling and acknowledged the fans’ right to cheer for whoever they want. He praised fellow WWE stars like CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, and Liv Morgan, saying they all push each other to be better — even though he sees himself as the “Captain.”
He wrapped up his segment by reflecting on his toughest battles, like those with Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, and said he thrives under pressure. Looking ahead to WrestleMania 41, Cody promised to give it his all — and when it’s over, he’ll gladly let John Cena have his moment.
