Putting pen to paper. ᭢ NOT @CodyRhodes.

Upon emerging from humble beginnings those around tend to underestimate your righteousness. Fret not, the boyhood 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 happens to have it’s perks.

The American Nightmare has been pierced by betrayal. Every legend he idolized, every ally he trusted- turned the knife. This is the war of Cody Rhodes, at the end of the day he is alone in this!

You never saw it coming, did you? That’s why you’ll never be me. Welcome to the real story, Nightmare.

WrestleMania... I’m not coming as your friend. I’m coming as the Viper you forgot still lives inside me. I’m coming to take what should’ve been mine after my hiatus. And if I have to put you through this table, bust you open, end your fairy tale, so be it.

You think I’m here to congratulate you one more time? To tell you “good luck at Mania”? Nah, Cody. I’m done congratulating. I’m done waiting. Those voices you’ve heard me talk about? They never left. They just got quieter while I played pretend.

But reliable doesn’t get you gold anymore. Reliable gets you pats on the back while someone else walks out the hero.

But standing here, looking at that title... knowing I won the Chamber to get this shot... it hits different. Because after all these years of playing nice, of holding back the voices... I realize something.

Watched you fight through every obstacle, every betrayal, every doubt. I’ve been the guy telling these fans, “This kid’s got it. This is the future.” And damn if you didn’t prove me right. You earned this. Every scar, every comeback... you earned it.

Cody... brother. Look at you. Undisputed WWE Champion. The American Nightmare who finally finished the story your old man started. I gotta say it—I’m proud of you, man. Real proud. For years now, I’ve been in your corner. #Smackdown
