Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has outlined his goal for his latest WWE Championship reign, and a term he might ‘lean into’.
Cody Rhodes began his third reign as WWE Champion after defeating Drew McIntyre for the title on last week’s episode of SmackDown.
Cody’s victory leads him on a collision course with Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42, and Cody has now outlined his goals for this title reign.
Speaking to Complex’s Graps the Podcast, Rhodes referenced being called a ‘golden boy’ as a negative term, and how he might lean into it for his next run.
He said:
“Even at my experience level in pro wrestling, I still haven’t fully found who I am, and I would like this to be the reign that defines who I am.
“I heard a term, that was said in a condescending fashion, but I didn’t take it that way, I actually blushed. I heard someone say ‘golden boy’, and I loved it. I don’t know if I was supposed to love it, especially with how they were saying it. But I thought, ‘okay, maybe I’ll lean into that’, and maybe that’s the identity of this reign.
“I’m certainly out there in terms of output, and hopefully this is the one time I say it otherwise it becomes self obsessed, but I’m outrunning everybody on the treadmill right now, even the guy I consider my largest competition.
“If that’s gonna be the case, I’ll take this golden boy moniker and see where it goes. I might even dial up my WrestleMania gear to lean into it further.
“I know that’s a bit vague but I’d like this reign to give me an identity that perhaps I’ve been seeking, because every reign is different.”
