Cody Rhodes has commented on what it would mean for him to win the coveted Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39.
The American Nightmare will have to dethrone current champion Roman Reigns to capture the prestigious title, who hasn't been pinned in three years. Many superstars have tried to dethrone The Tribal Chief, including legends such as Goldberg and John Cena, but they all failed. Cody wants to win the gold for his father, the late great Dusty Rhodes, who never held the WWE Championship.
During a recent interview with Stadium Astro, Cody Rhodes candidly voiced that winning the Undisputed Title would mean vindication for him.

"It would mean vindication. I've made a great career out of proving people wrong, and I've kind of taken the attitude as of now about proving people right, especially this new audience with WWE that has really warmly welcomed me back... When is the end? Is the end when I win the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship or is the end when I win that title and then take it every single place I can possibly take it and excel and deliver on a level that no champion has done in years?" said Rhodes.
