SUMMARY
- Cody Rhodes is one of the most loved WWE stars among the current roster.
- The American Nightmare recently talked about the current era being termed as the “renaissance era,” and he loves it.
WWE has been making waves in the professional wrestling world, and many believe that it is currently in one of its hottest states ever. The credit for such a great product obviously goes to the team, but performers like Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns have played an important part in this success.
In fact, The American Nightmare has taken his career to a new height ever since he made his return at WrestleMania 38. It’s been just two years since his second run with the Triple H-led promotion started, and he’s set to main event his second consecutive WrestleMania in Philadelphia.
But just days before the match at The Grandest Stage of them All, Cody sat down for an interview with Fox News Digital. During the conversation, he also talked about the current era being termed the ‘renaissance era,’ and how he loves it. The fan-favorite star said, “I’ve heard it coined as the Renaissance Era, and I really like that outlook on it.” (Via: X)

“For me, as a wrestler, I’m most excited that we no longer have to stand in the shadow of the Attitude Era because of the last two years we’ve done better business than they ever did,” The American Nightmare added. These comments by Rhodes are pretty true, as the company is doing wonderful business. Moreover, they showcase that he loves what he’s doing in the Stamford-based promotion.
Cody Rhodes credits Nick Khan for WWE’s recent success
In addition to the term that is being used for the current era of the promotion, The American Nightmare also talked about the people who’ve played a major role in the expansion of the business. While doing so, Cody Rhodes credited Nick Khan for WWE’s recent success.
Praising the company’s president for his contributions to the organization, Cody said, “He worked himself up from the bottom. He didn’t start with money. His connection to the industry is current, and he’s contemporary. He’s not lost in the past. He’s not looking so far into the future. I think that’s one of the things that helps him greatly.” (Via: Fox News)
In addition to this, Rhodes also shared how Nick and Triple H have supported him heavily since his WWE return in 2022. All in all, it was evident from Cody’s comments that he has a lot of respect for them. Such values in his character are probably what have helped The American Nightmare become the most loved stars in the organization’s recent history.
Cody Rhodes’ rumored victory against Roman Reigns may end up harming his popularity
It’s true that Cody is currently among the biggest draws in the Triple H-led promotion, and many believe that he’s going to finish his story at WrestleMania 40. But Rhodes’ rumored victory against Roman Reigns may end up harming his popularity among the WWE Universe.
The American Nightmare has been chasing the Undisputed Universal title for a long time, and that’s a major reason behind this fanbase. As fans have been backing him to win the prestigious title, when he eventually wins it, the victory may end up making his character stale.
“If I don’t finish the story, I might as well move over to commentary.”
I know he’s joking but in reality he’s the most one dimensional character in wwe right now. Without the story he would be in NXT pic.twitter.com/AmMhMvSfze

In such a case, Cody’s WrestleMania XL win might turn out to be a nightmare for his popularity, and that’s why it remains to be seen what happens at The Showcase of the Immortals. Moreover, it’ll be interesting to see if the fan-favorite star can finally end the drought of a title reign in his WWE career or not.
