Teil Runnels believes her brother, Cody Rhodes, needs to win the world title in WWE to finish his story.
The American Nightmare came inches close to winning the Undisputed Universal Title at WrestleMania 39 from Roman Reigns. However, he fell short after Solo Sikoa interfered and turned the tide in favor of The Tribal Chief. That said, it's only a matter of time before Cody Rhodes finds himself back in contention for a world title in WWE, be it for Reigns' Universal Title or Seth Rollins' World Heavyweight Championship.
In an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter, Cody's sister Teil Runnels said Cody needs to win the "big one" to finish his story in WWE. She also mentioned how The American Nightmare wasn't among those to quit and that his fighting spirit would take him to his destination sooner rather than later.

"Well, I think he has to win the big one. That's what he came to do, and Cody never gives up. When he was a young wrestler when he was in high school wrestling, he just doesn't have a lot of quit in him, so for us and him that's finishing the story. The story of our family's legacy in the business and it's the last piece of the puzzle," said Teil Runnels. [7:04 - 7:40]
