Cody Rhodes Recalls Dropping The Notion Of Playing A Character After Leaving WWE

Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet to talk about a number of topics including dropping the notion of being a character after he left the company in 2016.

Rhodes said, โ€œI think once I left WWE the first time and went out and did my own thing, I think I kind of ceased to be a character. I just accepted present yourself โ€ฆ be yourself.โ€

On the downside of that approach:

โ€œNo, I donโ€™t feel Iโ€™m in character now. Sometimes I wish there was a little bit more of a character I could hide into โ€ฆ The world knows you; they have a sense of you, and they can wrap an opinion around it.โ€
