Cody Rhodes Discusses his Interaction with Shawn Michaels, not Wanting to Return to WWE Right Now

Cody Rhodes recently spoke with Channel Guide Magazine to promote the upcoming Ring of Honor Best in the World pay-per-view event Lowell, Massachusetts at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. He will be challenging Christopher Daniels for the ROH World Heavyweight Title in the main event of the event. Here are the highlights.

On what Shawn Michaels once told him:

“Shawn Michaels told me once that when someone asked, ‘Hey, how was my match?’ He answered them, but then said to me, ‘You know how your match was when you walk through the curtain. You know if it was awesome or if it wasn’t. You know because of how the audience reacted.’ It’s more about asking what you could have done differently. It’s made me really happy to play my music my way.”

On not wanting to return to WWE right now:

“I don’t want to sound negative but being part of history right now and this new era and new boom. I didn’t get that while in WWE. So currently there is no incentive for me to return to WWE. I’m making more money than I was with WWE.

“I’ve been in some unbelievable matchups. Two are coming up. I love WWE. Just currently there is no incentive. There are some things I would love to be a part of. I would love to be part of the Dusty tag team tournament. At the same time I don’t think I’m playing a revenge song here. I don’t think I’m ready to move out of the spot of where I’m at.”
