The Rock’s alignment with The Bloodline put insurmountable pressure on Cody Rhodes in the lead-up to WrestleMania XL. In fact, on night 1, Rhodes conceded defeat to The Rock through pinfall. While night two of the event saw Rhodes overcome Bloodline, the chips were down for him at one point.
The WWE Universe saw major stars, including Jey Uso, Seth Rollins, and John Cena, come to Rhodes’ aid in a bid to ward off the Bloodline. However, The Final Boss’ overwhelming presence turned the match in Roman Reigns’ favor.
Suddenly, the lights went out, and a very familiar resounding gong echoed through the arena, leading to a cacophony of loud cheers from the fans. Everybody knew it was 1999 all over again as The Undertaker emerged, chokeslamming his former rival, The Rock. Consequently, Rhodes picked up the win, ending Roman Reigns’ historic 1,316-day World Championship reign.
While speaking with Chris Van Vliet on Insights, Cody Rhodes recalled not getting any sleep after the win at WrestleMania XL. He mentioned that he directly went to the Today Show the next morning. In addition, while lying in a bunk, Rhodes sent a drunken text to The Undertaker, expressing his gratitude.
He told Chris Van Vliet, “I didn’t sleep. I went right to the Today Show. I lay in a bunk and I texted a bunch of people including The Undertaker. I left him, what I would call, a rambling, ‘perhaps’ intoxicated little rant, just thanking him for being there.”
Rhodes further disclosed that The Undertaker texted back, showing his appreciation in return.
All in all, The Undertaker’s unexpected appearance proved to be a turning point for Cody Rhodes at the Grandest Stage. Rhodes even described how special the moment was for him. At present, Rhodes continues to ride high in his reign as the Undisputed WWE Champion. But, he has a major challenge ahead of him at the Biggest Party of Summer, SummerSlam.
