Cody Rhodes Praised By WWE Hall Of Famer For Specific Skill
When Cody Rhodes gets ready to deliver a promo, one WWE Hall of Famer is prepared to listen.
It is not a surprise to hear somebody say that Cody Rhodes is among the best in pro wrestling in 2025. After all, Cody has headlined the last three WrestleManias, is the current (and two-time) Undisputed WWE Champion, and regularly headlines shows in packed arenas and stadiums due to the immense love WWE fans have for him.
Cody Rhodes was also named the top wrestler in the Pro Wrestling Illustrated 500 list, which matters to some people and is irrelevant to others.
During many interviews, Cody likes to refer to himself as WWE’s “Quarterback,” a reference to American football, where the leader of the team is often a quarterback.
On a recent episode of his Kliq This podcast, two-time WWE Hall of Famer complimented Cody Rhodes by calling him the best interview (or promo person) in wrestling right now.
“I just said that you got to protect- I mean, the beginning of Raw, Cody comes out, ‘What do you want to talk about?’ I’m like, ‘Oh, God, I’ve missed this.’ I’ve missed this, because when it comes down to it, right now, on a week in, week out basis, he’s the best interview in wrestling.”
Cody Rhodes Names Rising WWE Star As Somebody Who Will Beat Him In The Future
At the age of 40, Cody Rhodes is still in the prime of his wrestling career, but he knows he can’t do it forever. During a recent interview, Cody praised Raw’s Bron Breakker as somebody who will likely beat Cody in the future since many people believe Breakker is a future WrestleMania main eventer. Clearly, Cody believes in Bron, too.
He’s (Breakker) the future of WWE. He’s definitely someone that we are positioning to be there as we go, and I mean main event at WrestleMania potentially, the big-big stuff, win the WWE title all these things. But watching him be interviewed is fun because it’s a little new to him.
So, seeing this guy who barks and spears people at 3 million miles an hour just kind of lock in…it’s so, it’s making my day because I already know…I already know this guy’s probably gonna beat me at some point down the road.
The WWE Crown Jewel PLE takes place on October 11th, where the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will battle the World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins in a Champion vs. Champion match for the coveted Crown Jewel Championship.
