Cody Rhodes says his story is fragile and he wants to make it a lock.
Cody Rhodes looked to finish his story back at WrestleMania 39 when he challenged Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship on night two of the event.
Rhodes would come up short in the matchup with The Tribal Chief, and has been feuding with Brock Lesnar since, with a trilogy matchup coming at SummerSlam at the beginning of next month.
In a new interview with Sam Roberts, Rhodes discussed how fragile his story is.
“Part of what we do is how happy they get and sometimes how furious they get. I was more surprised with the biggest task that came after. Minutes after, it dawned on me, to get back here, they have to still believe in me. I just lost in front of them, and they have to still believe. I’ve done some tough things. In the documentary, there are things said that could not be done, and we went and did them. The task of ‘can I get them to be on board even more after so many have invested, flown out, traveled, brought people.’ I remember seeing a guy in the crowd who had every piece of my merch on, every piece, and he was just staring at me. Grown man, hand on his hips, I caught eyes, I couldn’t break. I told him, ‘I’m sorry.’ That was the part that surprised me the most. Every place we go to, and knock on wood this continues to happen, every place we go to seems like more excitement. I don’t want to buy in and be like, ‘I knew it.’ No, it’s a tough task. They feel more excited, and a thing I noticed was fans are bringing signs back a lot more these days. Signs, that’s like the greatest thing ever. I had to make the point of trying to acknowledge each one of these. That really fills me up.”
“I think we’re on pace to do something very special, but everything I do, is so fragile. It feels fragile, all great things are. The story of Cody Rhodes is not a lock. Getting back, it’s fragile, but I try to make it a lock.”

We will have to wait and see how Cody will end up finishing the story and how long he will have to wait to do so.
