ESPN interview<\/a> with Joe Tessitore, Rhodes discussed being punted by Randy Orton. “Every thing you want to find out about me happens after. I got up and I attempted to make eye contact with everyone and allow them to know two things; I’m still the champ, still here. And if that is Randy’s best shot and Randy is at his best ever, then what does that say about me? I do not mean this with arrogance. I’m pretty lucky and I do not understand how rather more luck I actually have.”<\/p>\nAfter WrestleMania 42, he hung out together with his family. He reflected on his dad telling him that he’d have to come back home after matches beat up and explain to his kids that he was okay. History repeated itself when Rhodes’ four-year-old daughter asked what happened to him and if he was okay. An emotional Rhodes said, “nothing prepares you for that and I hope that is not an everyday occurrence.”<\/p>\n
Tessitore asked him about being QB1. Rhodes said that QB1 is probably the most consistent, week in and week out. “There’s all these jokes that I follow the John Cena model and I do not mind those jokes in any respect because that is a hell of a model.” He didn’t feel like a winner after WrestleMania and desires challengers because he’s “hooked on the highest spot. I’m not afraid to inform anybody that.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
