Cody Rhodes is currently standing at the peak point of an appealing storyline with Brock Lesnar. His third match with Brock Lesnar is looming in the corner and fans are more than eager to know what the company has in store for him after snubbing him a couple of times so far. While it won’t be justified to say WWE didn’t push Rhodes after his monumental return, the push has been panned out in an unusual manner for the former AEW star. There has been a popular theory of WWE putting their prized talent to the test before handing over the coveted world championship.

His devastating loss against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39 and a sudden betrayal at the hands of Lesnar came as a part of this plan. But how did Rhodes deal with these rough patches? What was the mindset that made him keep going amid all the odds? Here’s his secret.

Cody Rhodes revealed the secret behind his undying mental strength

Be it creatively starving in AEW, going through a massive reality check at WrestleMania 39, or suddenly dragging himself into Lesnar’s business to even the betrayal, Cody Rhodes has seen it all over the years of his pro wrestling pursuits. The entire WWE Universe saw his instability after coming up short to fulfill his late father’s dream months ago.

He breaks, and he loses it all, but what matters the most is he gets up again and reboots his body and mind to achieve what he sets out for. That’s Cody Rhodes for you.

Now, being hours away from a decisive match in his WWE career, Cody Rhodes once again spelled out his magic mantra.

During a recent interview with GQ Sports, Rhodes came out candidly to answer an array of questions. When it came to his superpower to rise above all the negativities, The American Nightmare noted, ”My superpower is believing in myself. So, I have to believe that I get it. I have to. Does it happen? I don’t know, but I have to believe it. And from there, it’s all a whole new chapter that’s all undiscovered country. Truly an undiscovered country.”

It’s a philosophy he adopted from another legendary pro wrestling figure, Diamond Dallas Page.

During several interviews, Cody Rhodes went vocal about the poor mental space of him and his family after losing his first chance to take the coveted world championship home. But eventually, he cheered himself up after a small uplifting message from Cena.

The Cenation Leader assured him, saying he was on the right path. He also noted that anybody can be a champion even without wearing the belt as long as he’s honest with himself.

These words strongly motivated Rhodes to twist his perspective on life a bit.
