Discussing his work in WWE prior to his release in 2012, Goldust indicated he had been lobbying the company's officials for a big match against Cody, noting that plans were never fully developed.

"But, it was actually brought to the table in the meeting because Cody didn't have an opponent about a month and a half out of WrestleMania 28," noted Goldust. "It was brought to the table and Vince just said no. What can you do? You can argue it or whatever, but that wasn't the direction they were going with Cody and I understood that. I tried it again this year via Twitter, but I got let go and stuff like that. Can't really do anything when you're not an employee of the company or under contract."

Goldust said he would've liked to work something up with Cody for WrestleMania 29 but it just didn't appear to be an option. He noted that the match needs to be really special in order to be done properly and to mean something for everyone involved.

"I've always wanted to do WrestleMania, but I'm considering SummerSlam," he said. I came up with the idea and actually presented it to Cody about the Backlot Brawl II. I haven't really pushed it as much, I just mentioned one little thing on Twitter. I'm fixing to bring that to the table and see if Vince would be interested in a second 'Backlot.' We've only done the one and that would be a good sign-off moment if Vince would accept it. It would be awesome. But, if not, it's only WrestleMania that I'd want to face my brother. I don't want to do it anywhere else, I don't need to do it anywhere else."
