Cody Rhodes is ready to finish the story.
The American Nightmare became the first man in 26 years to win back-to-back Royal Rumbles after Stone Cold Steve Austin at tonight's show from the Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida by eliminating CM Punk.
The show ended with Rhodes pointing towards Roman Reigns in the stands with the WrestleMania 40 logo in the background, leaving no doubt as to Cody's intention.
The former AEW star celebrated some more and then addressed the crowd after the show went off air. He apologized to the fans for not finishing the job at WrestleMania 39, but mentioned that he's heading to the Lincoln Financial Field to finish the story:
Cody Rhodes Is Ready After Royal Rumble
Tampa, St. Pete, Did you have a great time tonight? Guys I owe you an apology. I am sorry about what happened at WrestleMania 39. But we're going to WrestleMania 40. It's been a long night I won't keep you here, an amazing show, an amazing crew, an amazing production.
Sometimes when I come to Tampa, when I come to St Pete, sometimes I try and stay and keep to myself, the reason is - this is Dusty territory. So I thank you very much, for making it a Cody territory. I love you guys all so much. Have a great night and I'll see you next time.".
There is no doubt after tonight that Cody Rhodes will be seeing Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania once again
The Question of The Rock's involvement in the whole affair after his Day 1 promo remains unanswered however and it's possible we'll get some answers at the upcoming SmackDown.
