Cody Rhodes has revealed how much he enjoyed being a part of the Fastlane Press Conference.
In the thrilling Fastlane opener, Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso clinched a decisive victory over Finn Balor and Damian Priest, securing the new Tag Team Champions in the process. However, with several hours to spare before facing the media, Rhodes and Uso celebrated a bit too hard, leading to a side-splitting press conference.
Speaking with WWE Die Woche, Rhodes revealed that the press conference was one of the greatest moments in his career and admits that it was not part of WWE cannon:
“Well, afterwards, I told Jey, ‘That might have been a top ten moment of my career.’ One of the things you can’t see in the press conference is that the media wasn’t really asking…they were just kind of oogling us, and they’re normally a little bit quicker with the questions. A lot of the humor and what was happening, we were just lingering on it. You’ve seen the video, I have no defense for the video other than we were having a very great time. I don’t know if I can top it, press conference wise, I don’t know if I want to try to top it. Next time, I’m just coming in with a sheet of paper, maybe read some stats, some technical information.
I refuse to treat the press conferences as if they are part of the show. I like them to be that comment in the night where we let our guard down a little bit, we do pull the curtain back a little bit, and we talk to…there are members of the media who really want that and then there are members of the media who want a little different. For me, I really love those. I don’t know if I’ll be welcome back or invited back. I don’t know if I can top it. It was a top ten career moment, that press conference,”
The press conference in all its glory can be found below:
Unfortunately, the dream team would be short lives as Rhodes and Uso lost the titles to The Judgment Day just 9 days later.
