"The journey of The Undertaker is really unique if you look at how much he did through the years to stay at the top, keeping your attention, to stay on the tip of your tongue in terms of every week talking about him. That's the real thing we do, that's the real part of our industry, of our sport, our form of entertainment is how we continue to keep it going," said Cody Rhodes.
When The Undertaker became a "god" to AEW star Cody Rhodes
A couple of years back, Cody Rhodes shared an interesting anecdote involving him and The Undertaker from the 2008 Royal Rumble match.
The TNT Champion recalled how despite being one of the biggest stars in WWE at the time, The Deadman selflessly gave the spotlight to him during their interaction in the 30-man match. Cody went as far as to claim that the WWE legend became like a "god" to him after the aforementioned bout.
