Cody Rhodes has discussed how quickly he recovered from the injuries he received from Gunther at WrestleMania 42.
At WrestleMania 42, Cody Rhodes successfully defended the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton. However, Orton inflicted numerous injuries on The American Nightmare in a post-match assault that left him with his eye swollen shut and deep cuts to his head.
In a new interview with ESPN, Rhodes said he was “built different,” and pointed out that he wrestled the very next week despite his physical condition.
“Well, I’m here. Yeah, I’m here and I’m holding the WWE Championship. So, most important thing and all that concussion protocol and the fact that this thing was completely swollen shut, staples to the back of the head, stitches to the front of the head, I still found a way to wrestle the following week. So, built a little different. Yeah. I’m feeling real braggadocious about it. You know, built different, gave me his best shot and I came and wrestled the next week.”
Cody Rhodes Confident He Will Defeat Gunther At Clash In Italy
Cody Rhodes will have another tough title defence on May 31st when he puts the gold on the line against Gunther at Clash in Italy. While many believe Gunther will be on home turf in Europe, Rhodes sees it differently.
“I don’t think it’s his home turf. This isn’t Austria. We’re talking about this is Clash in Italy. They are not the same places. Europe is not a monolith. And I actually think that he’s of the impression this will be an away game for me. I don’t think that. I think Italy will be a crowd like France was. Loudest WWE crowd imaginable.”
