Cody Rhodes thinks a WWE SmackDown star would have been a Dusty Rhodes guy.
For many years, WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes served as a trainer at the Performance Center, helping the up-and-coming stars of WWE. If he were alive today, Cody Rhodes believes his father Dusty would have particularly been a fan of modern rising star, Solo Sikoa.
“There’s someone today that I was watching, and I can’t believe I’m going to say it because I don’t have a great interaction with him. But there was a guy I was watching and I shared it with one other legend backstage the other day because I thought if my dad was still alive, that’d be his guy. And it was Solo Sikoa,” Cody said on What Do You Wanna Talk About?.
“I couldn’t figure it out. I’m like, he would just eat him up. Just something about exactly what you just said. Go out there and take what I have, but also we’re going to have a good time. We’re going to have a good time. Like, there’s pressure. You know when you get to those points when there’s pressure and it’s almost like that’s all there is. Well, this is just all pressure. And then there’s also, we’re going to have a good time.” (H/T to Cultaholic for the transcription)
Currently, Sikoa reigns as a WWE Tag Team Champion, with the SmackDown brand as his homebase and the MFTs following his lead. Last year, he enjoyed one reign as WWE United States Champion.
