"I love that promo, but it's hard to follow." He added, " I kinda wish that I... It's hard to follow... Magic is sometimes just magic. It just happens." [38:58 - 39:22]

Cody Rhodes reveals one of his biggest fears about finishing his story

Cody Rhodes wanted to finish his story last year at WrestleMania 39, but due to interference from The Bloodline, he couldn't beat The Tribal Chief. However, this year, he managed to do so and complete his story.

While speaking at the WrestleMania XL post-show presser, he also talked about one of his biggest fears that he had about finishing his story. He said that he feared finishing his story because he felt nothing would be left to do afterward.

There wouldn't be any more things to accomplish, no more goals to push himself to work hard for. But he soon realized that he was wrong. There is much more left for him to accomplish.

Cody Rhodes is the WWE Undisputed Champion and soon he will start getting challengers who will want to take that title away from him. It will be interesting to see who is going to be the very first challenger for his title. In a recent interview, Matt Morgan called for it to be Seth Rollins.
