After listing all of his trials and tribulations he asks himself if he would go back and tell his younger self. Cody says he would not, for every part of his journey has been worth it. Rhodes quotes his entrance music, saying “wrestling has more than one royal family.” and states that for that to be true he must stand across the ring from Roman Reigns.
