Cody Rhodes has been put at the top of the card since making his return to WWE at WrestleMania 38, working extended programs with the likes of Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Brock Lesnar.
Cody has main evented multiple shows, including WrestleMania 39, and made his goal of the WWE Championship very clear.
In AEW, Cody took himself out of the AEW World Title picture when he lost to Chris Jericho at AEW Full Gear 2019 and was praised for working with younger talent like Sammy Guevara, Darby Allin, and MJF.
Speaking to Daniel Cormier, Cody was asked about his apparent switch in mindset since coming back to WWE.
"I'm thinking all me, all the time. I joke with some of my other peers that there are guys that will hit you with the, 'Oh, I'm trying to help you. This will be good for you.' When you hear it, you're like, 'Ah, I feel like this is about you.' If I'm the one on the receiving end of that conversation, I kind of just want the truth. That's how I've become. It's something that, in my documentary I talk about, by no means will it ever be important to her, but one of the things about having my daughter was, I lost my sense of BS. It just became, I think I'm pretty good, I'm better, I want to be better, and how much longer do we have on the clock? You feel like it's never going to end, but it will end at some point. At this moment, I'm not doing any of the things...that is what I was meant to do then, now I feel no problem in saying, 'Nope, I'm about myself at this moment. I'm about getting it done for me,'" he said.
Cody is set to take on Brock Lesnar for a third time at WWE SummerSlam.
