Cody Rhodes' on why he chose to face Seth Rollins' on his WWE return
After weeks of rumors, Cody Rhodes returned on Night One of WrestleMania 38 as Seth Rollins' mystery opponent. After a hard-hitting match, Cody picked up the victory over the former Universal champion in his grand return.
In an interview with The Ringer Wrestling Show, The American Nightmare revealed why he chose to face Rollins at WrestleMania 38:
"[Could have been] Nobody else," said Rhodes. "Seth walked into the ring in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in his first live event loop ever coming off of Florida Championship Wrestling and it was against me. Dayton, Ohio, [at] the Nutter Center, his first dark match on television and it was against me. The Shield vs. The Rhodes, which I blocked those matches out of my head and then realized, 'Man, these were special and something,' and it was him then. It needed to be him."
