Cody Rhodes Says Winning The WWE World Heavyweight Title Isn't Finishing The Story

Cody Rhodes only sees the story finishing one way.

Since returning to WWE at WrestleMania 38, Cody has made clear his intention to win the WWE Title. he failed to do so when he challenged Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 39, though he insists the story is not over.

Asked during the Money in the Bank press conference whether winning the newly-created WWE World Heavyweight Championship would allow him to finish the story , The American Nightmare said:

"I don't want to be a downer, but no. Winning the World Heavyweight Championship would be outstanding. It would be amazing. It is the title on the flagship show, Monday Night Raw. It absolutely matters and is important. What Seth is doing with it is a special thing and you're going to see, that title will mean far more in five minutes and ten minutes. Every second, it gains equity. Finishing the story was always about the title that my dad didn't get. I'm not going to spoil anything because the Peacock people will murder me. You'll probably hear some news about my documentary sometime soon. 

"Finally, these people have been filming me for gosh knows how long. It's covered a lot in there as far as, that's what the story was. He really did hold it, he held it in the Garden, and it ate me up that he never got it. That's finishing the story. The World Heavyweight Championship is a whole other story. Very special, the main title on Monday Night Raw. I don't look down on it in any way". 

Rhodes may get his opportunity to finally finish the story at WrestleMania 40, according to recent reports.
