Cody Rhodes might be the man in WWE right now, but he knows that won’t last forever. Luckily, he already sees talent on the roster that is the future of the company.
WWE Champion Cody Rhodes was a recent guest on the ALL THE SMOKE podcast. During the discussion, Rhodes revealed that current Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio is viewed internally as the future of the company, something Rhodes backs and is fully in support of.
“Credit to whoever figures out — with load management — whoever figures out how we improve, and I’m seeing it. Dom Mysterio is probably my favorite example,” Cody Rhodes said. “Dom Mysterio does not have the amount of live events that we used to have, although he’s working multiple companies for WWE at the moment. Special, special talent.
“He’s somebody that’s often cited internally — I don’t think I’m giving anything away here — as somebody who’s gonna be the future of the WWE. He’s one of the ones that when it’s said, I believe it. I think I’m gonna come to a WWE show in 15 years and pay money to see and it will probably be Dom Mysterio on the top of the card, because he’s figuring out how to do it.”

When the host asked if Dominik is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, Rhodes confirmed that to be the case.
“Yeah, but you’d never know. He’s tall. You’d know by the work and the hereditary passion that Rey has because Rey’s the greatest luchador of all time, with respect to (El) Santo. I think he really is the greatest to ever do it. Dom is special. There’s a few that I see on that list and that one for sure — I don’t wanna be overly confident… I certainly believe it. He’s somebody I’m gonna go pay to see at an event in 15 years.” [H/T: Fightful]
