Cody Rhodes recently spoke with Bleacher Report to discuss a variety of topics, including the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 40 pay-per-view events.

Additionally, the American Nightmare gave his thoughts on CM Punk.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On the Royal Rumble: “I’m winning the Royal Rumble, and then I think we’re supposed to wait and say, ‘Hey, this is who I want to challenge,’ but if anyone’s been watching the story, then they know exactly who I want to challenge and when I want to challenge them, and right the wrong that happened at WrestleMania 39.”

On wanting to win the Rumble back-to-back: “I think a big thing is it’s validation for the fans that I have now. It was not always easy to be a Cody Rhodes fan, and whether you just jumped onboard or whether you’ve been there from the beginning through the different incarnations of myself, it would be validation, it would be vindication for them. They believed and they were right. And to be the first guy to go back to back since ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, the most prolific sports entertainer of all time, the most profitable top draw ever in the industry, I’d be very lucky to hear that, and hopefully being the odds-on favorite, hopefully the odds are in my favor as we head toward the Royal Rumble.”

On his thoughts on CM Punk: “As far as CM Punk, that’s one of the things that makes … the Royal Rumble itself so special is CM Punk also feels very strongly and deeply and passionately that he is gonna win the Royal Rumble. I don’t know if in the past there’s ever been this amount of top talent: Jey Uso, Drew [McIntyre], Sami Zayn, this amount of top stars who are vying for it and have a true opportunity.”

On if The Rock will meddle with him “finishing the story”: “You mentioned ‘The Great One’ The Rock, nothing but respect for him. I went and saw Jungle Cruise, I’m a Rock fan. I don’t think he’s the type that would come in and meddle with a story that’s been being told over the past two years. I think he’s probably up to something else, but you never know with WWE. I’ll be watching just like everybody else when I’m not wrestling.”
