Cody Rhodes Tips “Special” Star To Take WWE By Storm

Cody Rhodes knows one WWE star is heading to the top.

For many, Cody Rhodes is the very definition of a WWE Superstar. Rhodes’ dedication and work ethic are often held up as an example to younger wrestlers, while his willingness to “bet on himself” took him from WWE also-ran to AEW EVP, and then to one of the top of the entire industry.

Being “the guy” in WWE and having spent his entire life around the wrestling business also puts Rhodes in a prime position to help those up next. And according to the man himself, that includes a member of the world-famous Anoa’i family dynasty.

Cody Rhodes Wants To Look After WWE Star

On the latest episode of his What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, Rhodes took the opportunity to praise Jacob Fatu. Rhodes recalled meeting the former United States Champion for the first time and immediately realising he was one to watch.

“I met him at All Pro Wrestling in San Francisco. I knew right away who he was, and we started Uce’n each other. I had been around Jimmy and Jey throughout my whole first run with WWE. Jacob is really special.”

Rhodes went on to say that everyone within WWE already knows they’ve got a special talent on their hands.

“He feels like a little baby here and I want to make sure everything is right. He’s special. I know everyone here is incredibly impressed with Jacob, too. When something good happens for him, all of us are like, ‘Awesome.’”

The comments from Rhodes come after Paul Heyman said that Jacob Fatu is “guaranteed” to main event WrestleMania. Heyman also named Bron Breakker and Rhea Ripley as stars who can headline the spectacular for several years to come.

Fatu was most recently in action at SummerSlam, where he battled Solo Sikoa for the United States Championship inside a steel cage. Although he was unable to take the title from Sikoa, there’s a growing feeling that bigger things are on the horizon for the Samoan Werewolf.
