Corey Graves talked to Cody Rhodes earlier this week.
Corey asks Cody to explain the feeling of finishing the story at Wrestlemania.
Cody says the feeling of finishing the story is what he wants to chase for the rest of his life. It made him happy and made him cry. It exceeded any expectations he had about that moment. Corey asks what does it feel to be the face of WWE. Cody says it feels like he is more appreciative of the team around him than ever before. Cody is asked about the commitment to the company. He talks about media appearances and teleconferences. He feels okay doing it. Corey asks if Cody has asked others for advice. Cody says he always talks to Randy and wants to follow what people like John Cena did, but in his way.
Corey asks about the state of WWE and the industry. Cody says we are seeing new fans over the last three years whether it is children or people coming back. It has never felt better. Cody says people talked about how great the Attitude Era is but they want to prove how good things are. Cody talks about achieving goals that the older generation cannot claim. Corey asks Cody what advice would he give a younger Cody. He says when you are not the number one on the call sheet and if you think you should be in the main event, you have to bet on yourself. He says Stardust would never be in the main event. He felt that he was getting worse and had to get better.

It is not just a fancy title to call yourself. It is about cementing your legacy. The competition is massive. Since Nia has been back in WWE, she has torn through everyone. She went toe to toe with Rhea and has gone through Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill to get here tonight. She has to beat Lyra tonight and Lyra beat a former champion in Iyo Sky to get here.
Randy Orton coming back from a potential career ending injury, can he solidify his legacy and show that he is back on top. He has to beat Gunther tonight and he has been like no one else in WWE. Paul says he will be on the edge of his seat watching this match.
