Cody Rhodes welcomes all challengers.
Sami Zayn is set to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WWE Elimination Chamber. Fans have rallied behind Zayn and his story with the Bloodline when he officially turned on Reigns at WWE Royal Rumble.
On Monday's WWE Raw, Cody gave Zayn a pep talk going into Elimination Chamber, telling him to finish his story and defeat Reigns.
Speaking to Peter Rosenberg on Cheap Heat, Cody discussed Zayn's momentum and the potential of facing him at WrestleMania.
"I really like Sami and I really respect him. For like two years, maybe less, people have been wanting these viable contenders to dethrone the greatest champion of our era. It never seemed like there was one. Now, you have two options. The way I look at it is, give them everything. The way you give them everything is, Sami is wrestling at the Elimination Chamber in his hometown against Roman. Right now, if Roman moves on from that, we're wrestling at the biggest WrestleMania of all time. The odds are...you don't want to bet against Roman Reigns, but there are a lot of odds in the favor of Sami Zayn. People have asked me, 'who would you rather?' I don't have a 'who would you rather?' I don't. I punched my ticket and I can't apologize for that. I guess that's what I would say to anyone who is more pro-Sami than pro-Cody. I like it all. If I get there and it is Roman and I'm able to get past the mountain, then Sami is going to be one of the first guys I have to look at in general. I'm just happy the options are there. There were no options. Now there are more options," said Cody.
While making the media rounds, Cody spoke to Ariel Helwani and said he welcomes the potential of a triple threat match at WrestleMania. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
