In a heartfelt revelation, WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes opened up about his feelings after leaving AEW, expressing how much he misses certain people from his time there. One individual he particularly longs to have had by his side during a pivotal moment was his mentor Arn Anderson, whom he believes could have made a significant difference at WrestleMania 39.
Cody Rhodes found himself in the spotlight earlier this year, facing off against Roman Reigns in a high-stakes match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. With the momentum on his side, expectations were high for the American Nightmare’s triumph. However, fate had a different plan, and Rhodes faced a personal nightmare, unable to conclude his story with a victory.
Reflecting on that night, Rhodes acknowledges the crucial support that Roman Reigns had in the form of his cousins and Wiseman, whereas Cody was left to face the formidable Tribal Chief all alone. In his mind, having Arn Anderson by his side could have altered the course of events. Anderson had been a constant pillar of guidance and positivity during Rhodes’ time in AEW, and on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Cody expressed his deep appreciation for him:
“I miss Arn greatly. I think had I had Arn at WrestleMania, things might have been different. He was just a huge positive force for me there and he’s so fricking smart about the psychology of a crowd, and not enough people go to him… You don’t have to change, but you should at least hear what he’s thinking.”

Looking ahead, Cody Rhodes remains steadfast in pursuing his ultimate goal: capturing the WWE Championship that eluded his late father, Dusty Rhodes, and thereby fulfilling his legacy. However, since his setback at WrestleMania 39, his path has taken a different turn, as he finds himself embroiled in a feud with none other than Brock Lesnar. As the scheduled showdown with the Beast Incarnate at SummerSlam looms, Rhodes faces a formidable challenge.
Once he settles matters with Lesnar, it becomes crucial for Triple H and the creative team to maintain Cody’s momentum leading up to the rumored rematch against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 for the coveted Undisputed title. The road to finishing his story remains uncertain, and fans eagerly await what’s next for the determined and resilient Cody Rhodes.
