Cody Rhodes won his first World Championship at WrestleMania 40 after he defeated Roman Reigns in the main event of the show. WWE booked him for two long years to be worthy of handling this pressure, and there is no doubt that he has done a fantastic job after winning the world championship at the mentioned event.
The main event of WrestleMania 40 is arguably the most overbooked WrestleMania main event of all time. There were involvements in this match of top stars like John Cena, The Rock, and The Undertaker, which not only made this match overbooked but also extremely exciting.

Cody Rhodes won the second world championship at SummerSlam
“I took a moment before the match and before John handed [the title] to me. I thought this memory would be way more present, but as I was under the stage, it hit me, and I’m shocked I didn’t remember this…that is the stage I went and hid under after my match got cut at WrestleMania 29.

"The same place I’m getting in the elevator to rise up and hopefully get number two, is where I sat in my feelings after getting my match cut, meaning my match was taken off the show minutes before it happened. When I realized that and I was coming up (the elevator), is where I really wanted to take stock of every feeling I had.”
Cody Rhodes presently has a huge responsibility of carrying the legacy of the Championship, and he has done an excellent job after winning the championship. It looks like he will have a feud with Drew McIntyre for the Championship next, and there are rumours that he will defend the WWE title against CM Punk at WrestleMania 42.
