Cody Rhodes says he’s more ready for WrestleMania than anyone after his tour bus caught on fire.
The day before WWE WrestleMania 40 Night One, Cody Rhodes revealed that his tour bus caught on fire. He wrote that everyone was safe and okay.
Rhodes then described what happened during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. He noted that he grabbed pictures of his wife and daughter, as well as his boots for WrestleMania, as he fled the bus.
“This is where my mindset is. Last night, one a.m., laying in bed, it’s the first time I’m gonna get a little sleep before we get into this big, big, big event that is WrestleMania. All of a sudden, loud bang at the side of my bus. Thought it was a gun shot. Terrified. Clammed up. Next thing I know, my bus driver tells, ‘We gotta get off this bus, it’s on fire.’ So my bus, it didn’t burn to a crisp, but it was up in a big fireball for a moment.
“The reason I share this story is I’m here this morning, non-flinching, and I grabbed two things off my bus when I thought, ‘This is it. This is the end.’ I grabbed a picture of my daughter and a picture of my wife, and then I grabbed my WrestleMania boots. There ain’t nobody here who is more ready for WrestleMania than me.”
