Since making his WWE return at WrestleMania 38 in 2022, Rhodes has cemented himself as one in every of the corporate\u2019s biggest stars. His second run reached its peak when he defeated Roman Reigns to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship and end Reigns\u2019 historic 1,316-day title reign.

\u201cI don\u2019t know should you ever read this graphic novel, I consider it my favorite DC graphic novel of all time, a book called Identity Crisis. Identity Crisis has one in every of the best funeral scenes of all time, because all of them showed up in gimmick. Full gear.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen my time comes, I need the wrestling world in full gimmick. Bury me within the American Nightmare Sandra Grey robe, bury me as I used to be. I spent a lot time giving back to pro wrestling and taking from pro wrestling that I got to play a superhero, and I\u2019d prefer to exit a superhero.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
