Video: Cody Rhodes Addresses WWE WrestleMania 40 Rumors After SmackDown Goes Off-Air

Cody Rhodes made a special post-show appearance after Friday night’s WWE on FOX blue brand show in his hometown of Atlanta, GA.

During the appearance, Rhodes reflected on his many memorable appearances in ATL.

โ€œAtlanta is my hometown,” Rhodes said. “Iโ€™ve done some silly stuff here. Jumped off of a cage that was too high, set myself on fire, got into a fight with Brock Lesnar. Iโ€™ve done a few silly things. But all of them were in the efforts to give this city, the town, the community that raised me something to remember. When youโ€™re home, you share things that only you would share at home. Hereโ€™s one. There is only one thing that makes me tired of coming home.”

He continued, “The only thing that makes me tired when coming home is coming home empty-handed. I think we need to change that. I am not immune to all the news, everything thatโ€™s happening, what will happen, what wonโ€™t happen. All I can tell you is this. Iโ€™m the right man for the job. Iโ€™m the best man for the job. Iโ€™m heading into the Royal Rumble, Iโ€™m gonna go back-to-back, and Iโ€™m gonna bring a championship back home to Atlanta.”
