WWE star Cody Rhodes recently spoke with UPROXX.com for an interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, Rhodes commented on WWE fans staying invested in him even though he lost to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39:
โIf I knew (how to keep fans this invested), I would bottle it up, put a label on it and sell it. Itโs almost a game of other people thinking, โOh, thereโs no way itโs going to get any hotter. Thereโs no way the momentโs going to stay right how it is now.โ And weโve just been blessed that itโs gotten bigger.
I dropped the ball in front of them at Wrestlemania, but something about it they liked, or something about it spoke to them, or stoked a fire, and itโs almost scary, itโs fragile. As much as I want to appear strong, and be confident and all that stuff, I canโt take it for granted. Any minute now, it could go away. I want to keep it going as long as possible in a way that the transaction with fans is purely genuine. And Iโm lucky that thatโs been the case.โ
