Being the Wà·ŽWE Championship has brought on new responsibilities for Cody Rhodes.
Cody Rhodes took on what he called the "championship schedule" after losing at WrestleMania 39, worđ»king all the live events and making media appearances to act as the face of the company despite not holding the tà”Čitle. Cody has kept the same schedule after winning the Undisputed WWE Title at WrestleMania XL, but the title has brought on new opportunities and responsibilities.
"There are some things that come with it that were surprising to me. It might sound cool, it might sound cheesy. There is an element of leadership involved that they don't say, they just kind of plug you in. You're attending corporate meetings and events that you would typically be out of your depth at, and you're supposed to be there and be on. That's something that has really excited me. In the past, I felt like when I had a leadership role in wrestling, I didn't do well with it. I feel like I failed with it, but I knew why perhaps I failed with it. This has been an opportunity to plug back in. Maybe there is a future beyond the actual wrestling with WWE in a different setting. That's something I've been thinking about lately," Cody told Cathy Kelley in a sitdown interview.
Cody â€is set to fê§ace WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther at WWE Crown Jewel.
