A pierce the one and only. Cody Rhodes. Cody, how are you? And thank you so much for the time. Was I right on time or was I not? Well, we played and
I I have a feeling I was late. Uh and I was late, bully. You were right. So what do I owe? I'm late. When a guy's late, he guys shouldn't be late, guys shouldn't leave early. And your day, what happens when you're late?
You know exactly what happened, so all I would like to hear right now is Uncle Bully, I'm sorry I was late.
Uncle Bully and uh your friend, uh Dave? Pleasure to meet you. Dave, nice to uh I uh yeah, I am. I apologize for being late and the wrestler style we'll stay a little later, you know what I'm saying?
Hey, listen. Hey anytime you get to have the champ in studio, it's a it's a great
day. It is, it's a great day have you seen downstairs of your building, by the way? I've many times. What a New York moment, huh? That that got me that that excited. Air in the tires. I feel that that got me pumped up.
I don't have I have no idea what you're talking about.
Oh, there's a there's there's there's there is an insane number of fans on both sides of the building. Oh, is it really? Yeah, it was uh it was a blast down there actually. I love him.
Andy Orton's coming in today.
Oh look at you. Look at you. How the guy comes
on and he
apologizes and you hit you kick him right in the nuts. Yeah, no. I l I mean literally, that's the thing. I gotta stop hugging people on TV by the way.
Why?
Every time I hug somebody on TV, it turns into the the low blow, you know what I'm saying?
Listen, I'm ex listen, I have my gear on I got the OG one, I got the shirt. I actually have the Cody uh American Nightmare underwear on under my jeans, which is a hundred Yeah, those
are actually pretty good. I d I'm
extremely comfortable.
Wow.
So I'm I'm ready. You're in uniform. I am ready for WrestleMania forty two Saturday night. Oh my god. Oh my gosh.
Look at it though. Look at it. You've got myself versus Randy Orton. Of course. Uh you have Roman Reigns versus CM Punk. Brock Oba. Yeah. Uh Stephanie Liv, uh Jade Rhea. It's coming together. Sammy Trick. Uh I I'd I'd use the word and I I made the mistake. You know, when you do like the interviews, every wrestler and everybody who interviews wrestlers knows this. You say something and you hate how it sounded, but I remember saying saying a few weeks ago that we got a sleeper mania here. And I think I said that because nobody was really n knew the rest of the card, but but what I what I meant was we have a very, very, very good bell to bell WrestleMania that uh aims to top the WrestleMania prior and I am very excited about uh
my match and WrestleMania in general.
Cody, obviously we are all excited for your match. We're all excited for um Punk and Roman. But there's another match out there that we're super into over just a couple of weeks, and I just wanted to get your thoughts real quick on Oba Femi. Oba Femi has really, you know, caught the attention of the WWE universe. Oba and Brock. As much interest from me as you and Randy or Roman and and Punk. Can you talk to us about a little bit about Oba Femi? Is it too much too soon or is or is Oba ready for it?
Well, I think that question is what's intriguing about the match. Okay, so there's a little bit of magic that they have in a sense that they have Mr. Heyman who's next to it. And Mr. Heyman, you know, could sell ketchup to uh, you know, a lady in white gloves. Yeah, yeah, like but he doesn't have to in this case because I believe Oba and I would say this for Trick as well, were with Sean long enough that they can handle what is being thrown at them. And I know that actually firsthand from being in there with both of them and Oba's first foray into the main roster with John Cena's final night, Saturday night's main event, I got a taste of the fact that I know we're probably gonna do that dance again.
