WWE legend claims Cody Rhodes needs to dethrone The Tribal Chief on his own

Cody Rhodes won the Men's Royal Rumble match in 2023 but came up short in his chance to dethrone Roman Reigns of the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39. History has repeated itself, and now Rhodes has another chance to finish his story against The Tribal Chief at WrestleMania 40.

Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter in an exclusive interview, Diamond Dallas Page (DDP) noted that beating Randy Savage clean in 1997 did wonders for his career. DDP stated that Cody Rhodes needed to win the title without any outside help as it would be much more meaningful:

"I wouldn't do that, bro, because the finish is too good. When Randy Savage put me over, it changed my life dramatically. Like, dramatically. No one put me on top of him. That's not how a Rhodes wins." [3:50 – 4:21]
