The WWE Universe is ecstatic as their favorite babyface, Cody Rhodes, eliminated Gunther to win the Royal Rumble. Fans finally got to see their favourite athlete in action again after a 7-month hiatus. Rhodes has achieved the first step toward fulfilling his dream of becoming the World Champion.
Cody Rhodes entered the match at number 30 and eliminated Dominik Mysterio, Logan Paul, Braun Strowman, and Gunther at the event. Rhodes looked at his best and delivered a good performance.
The most difficult part seemed to be tackling and eliminating Gunther. Cody Rhodes survived lethal strikes as well as the sleeper from the Ring General. The Intercontinental Champion set the record for being in the Royal Rumble match for the longest period of time. The Ring General lasted for 1:11:25 in the Rumble match.
The American nightmare performed a cross-Rhodes on Gunther followed by a clothesline to win the match. After the match Cody Rhodes chatted with the WWE Exclusive. He spoke about the toughness of Gunther and stated that he wouldn’t want to be in the ring with him again.
“To find out how tough Gunther is? My God, it’s one of those things I was like, I can’t wait to wrestle him again. But no, I don’t also want to wrestle him ever again.”

Cody Rhodes shared his feelings after winning the Royal Rumble
Last year, Cody Rhodes returned to the WWE at WrestleMania 39 after six years. The American Nightmare beat Seth Rollins at the event. The WWE Universe hadn’t expected to see Rhodes in the company again, as he had left the company in 2016 on a bitter note. He was one of the vital members of AEW, who helped launch the company.
Rhodes also served as one of the Executive Vice Presidents of the company. However, he along with his wife Brandi, couldn’t negotiate in terms of new contract and left the company in February last year.
Cody Rhodes spoke with WWE on FOX after the Rumble Match and expressed his emotions. He mentioned that a year ago he wasn’t wrestling here, and it’s a surreal feeling. Rhodes was amazed at how his career has turned out up until now.
“It doesn’t just feels good, it feels surreal. I wasn’t working here a year ago. My god, it feels surreal. I don’t know how we got here. You know, there were things in my career that lined up perfectly, and I don’t know how we got here.”
Cody Rhodes is currently one of the top babyfaces in the company as of now. He will surely fight the World Champion at WrestleMania, depending on how things turn out from now on. Meanwhile, Roman Reigns has defended the Universal Championship against Kevin Owens. It is unclear whether he would defend the title at Elimination Chamber or not.
