While Cody Rhodes did not perform at Elimination Chamber, he made sure to make his presence felt. The American Nightmare teamed with Seth Rollins to appear on The Grayson Waller Effect. The interview did not go as planned, as they got booed by the native Australian crowd. However, Rhodes had an incredible time in Perth challenging Dwayne Johnson to a one-on-one fight before WrestleMania XL. Hours after his appearance on the show, he opened up about his experience on social media.

Taking to X, Rhodes posted that the experience was epic. He said, “Felt like I landed and the next moment I was standing in front of 50k plus losing their minds.”

Unlike Rollins, Rhodes did not arrive a day early for the press event. He arrived on the day of the PLE. Before heading out, he did announce that his merch in the stands had run out, showing just how loved he was in Perth. Ending the message, he said, “I can’t wait to come back.”
