Cody Rhodes’ new admission about Wrestlemania 39 loss will shock fans

During his media appearances leading up to Wrestlemania XL, Cody Rhodes appeared on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani where he surprised everyone with a revelation about Wrestlemania 39.

During the press conference, Cody Rhodes faced a barrage of inquiries regarding his highly anticipated match against Roman Reigns, which will serve as the main event at this year’s Wrestlemania. Among the reporters, Ariel Helwani specifically questioned Rhodes about his devastating defeat at the hands of Reigns 12 months ago, which left his storyline unresolved as he exited SoFi Stadium in disappointment.

Rhodes was not the only one taken aback by his defeat to Reigns at Wrestlemania 39. In fact, he was just as surprised as the rest of the WWE Universe.

Despite being hesitant to reveal all, “The American Nightmare”was asked by Helwani about Wrestlemania 39. Specifically, he inquired about when Rhodes learned of his loss to Reigns.

Rhodes responded, “That’s a fantastic question. In my opinion, when a fact transforms into a legend, it’s best to print the legend.”

“In regards to this question, I will share that I discovered the truth inside the ring. It was in the very moment that [Reigns] delivered a spear and secured the 1-2-3 pinfall that I learned the truth.”

Helwani promptly inquired, “Was there not a discussion prior to this?”

“I would say: not definitely,”Rhodes replied. “But I am unable to provide any further information on that matter.”

Ever since the disappointing defeat in April, Rhodes has emerged victorious in his second consecutive Royal Rumble match, securing his spot as the main event for both nights of Wrestlemania XL alongside Reigns.

On Saturday, the two will face each other in a tag team match where The Rock will team up with Reigns, and Rhodes will have World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins in his corner.

Subsequently, the scene is prepared for the highly-anticipated second confrontation between Rhodes and Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, taking place as the main event on Sunday.

On this occasion, Rhodes is anticipated to emerge victorious by fans. However, the possibility of Bloodline interference, which has disrupted Reigns’ lengthy championship reign on multiple occasions, may put that expectation in jeopardy.
