One big thing: Cody Rhodes sent The Undertaker a rambling, drunk text after winning at WrestleMania 40
In a recent interview on “Insight with Chris Van Vliet,” newly crowned Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes revealed he sent The Undertaker an intoxicated message following his historic win at WrestleMania 40.
The details:
• Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns in a Bloodline Rules Match to end “The Tribal Chief’s” dominant reign
• The match featured surprise appearances from John Cena and The Undertaker
• After the event, Rhodes sent a “rambling, ‘perhaps’ intoxicated little rant” to The Undertaker
• The message was sent before Rhodes appeared on the Today Show, as he hadn’t slept after his victory
What they’re saying:
“I left him, what I would call, a rambling, ‘perhaps’ intoxicated little rant, just thanking him for being there,” Rhodes told Van Vliet.
Rhodes added that The Undertaker responded “immediately” and was “grateful” for the message.
Why it matters:
The Undertaker’s appearance at WrestleMania 40 was significant, as he had previously stated it gave him “closure” on his career. Rhodes’ drunk text highlights the respect and admiration younger wrestlers have for industry legends, even in moments of personal triumph.
What’s next:
• Rhodes is set to face Solo Sikoa of The Bloodline at SummerSlam on August 3
• The new champion will likely continue to navigate the fallout from his victory and the changing landscape of WWE’s main event scene
