Rhodes confessed an odd difference in his life without his father’s presence. “A lot of decisions I made. I felt more liberated in making those decisions than I perhaps would have had he still been alive,” confessed the American Nightmare.

According to him, his father had a certain hold on his decisions. Due to this, he never fully felt in charge of his own decisions. After Dusty Rhodes passed away, Cody felt like his decisions were actually his.

Despite this confession, we should not forget that no grief can be compared to that of the passing away of a loved one. This huge event in Rhodes’ life changed a lot about his personal as well as professional life.

Standing in his way is Roman Reigns, whose special counsel Paul Heyman has already mentioned the legendary Dusty Rhodes during a RAW promo with Cody Rhodes, further firing up the star to succeed at WrestleMania 39.
