Seth Rollins Reveals How He Felt After Getting To Know He Was Facing Cody Rhodes
Their feud started in a very interesting way. Rollins did not have any WrestleMania opponent this year and he was desperate for a booking at the grandest stage of them all. He pushed really hard for a booking but he failed until the go home show of Monday Night RAW before WrestleMania 38 where Mr McMahon announced that he would have a mystery opponent at the event.
That mystery opponent turned out to be Cody Rhodes. The duo had a total of three matches in 3 back to back pay per view events. In all these three events, Cody came out victorious. But before their match at Hell in a Cell, Cody pick up a nasty injury, but he shocked the world when he wrestled with the injury.

Seth Rollins who is also a former six times WWE Tag Team Champion recently spoke to Ryan Satin’s Out Of Character podcast where he revealed his feeling after getting to know that Cody Rhodes is going to be his WrestleMania 38 opponent. He said Cody was more of a Godsend opponent. He said;
“I knew like, I would say, for sure, I would say less than a month out from Wrestlemania. I was really left out of WrestleMania. He ended up being a godsend. It was finalized like I want to say like three weeks before Wrestlemania. Even as we were starting to build the story towards that, it was not quite sure. There were conversations being had and all this stuff that I wasn’t really privy to.”
“I was kind of trying to poke around and be like, ‘Hey, is this going to happen or do I need to start thinking of something else because I’m really not interested in getting left off WrestleMania, two nights, and I don’t want to be thrown into a match that means nothing. Both the titles were being held up in the one match. I’m like, ‘I gotta have something here.’ I had been doing so much good work. I was doing great work.”
“If I was sucking, then yeah, I get it, but I’m not. I’m 35 at that time in my prime. I’m like, ‘I don’t know what else you want from me.’ I was like, this is awful. I had some really strong conversations, I’ll put it that way, with Vince leading up to that, but once we got rolling and everything was set in stone, like I said, I think it was like three weeks, four weeks, somewhere in that time frame where I finally texted Cody.”
