Cody Rhodes Says Winning The World Heavyweight Championship Would Not Be Finishing The Story

Cody Rhodes discusses how he could finish the story, noting that he cannot do it by winning the World Heavyweight Championship.

The World Heavyweight Title was debuted back at Night Of Champions 2023, with Seth Rollins becoming the inaugural champion. Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes has hit a roadblock with Finishing His Story, and he does not feel winning that title would finish his story.

Speaking at the Money in the Bank press conference, Cody Rhodes was asked about the World Heavyweight Title and if that would complete his fairy tale.

“I don’t want to be a downer, but no. Winning the World Heavyweight Championship would be outstanding. It would be amazing. It is the title on the flagship show, Monday Night Raw. It absolutely matters and is important. What Seth is doing with it is a special thing and you’re going to see, that title will mean far more in five minutes and ten minutes. Every second, it gains equity. Finishing the story was always about the title that my dad didn’t get. I’m not going to spoil anything because the Peacock people will murder me. You’ll probably hear some news about my documentary sometime soon. Finally, these people have been filming me for gosh knows how long. It’s covered a lot in there as far as, that’s what the story was. He really did hold it, he held it in the Garden, and it ate me up that he never got it. That’s finishing the story. The World Heavyweight Championship is a whole other story. Very special, the main title on Monday Night Raw. I don’t look down on it in any way,”

Cody defeated Dominik Mysterio at Money In The Bank over the weekend, and has previously set an open challenge for Brock Lesnar to accept anytime, anywhere.
