Following Bray Wyatt‘s shocking release from WWE, the former Universal Champion is now one of the most compelling free agents on the market, and Cody Rhodes knows that he’s a special talent.
During a media call ahead of AEW Dynamite: Homecoming, Rhodes participated in a media call, and when Nick Hausman of Wrestling Inc. asked about Wyatt’s potential fit in All Elite Wrestling,
Rhodes commented on the former WWE star’s creativity and noted his past connection with Wyatt as his on-screen mentor in NXT.
“Bray Wyatt was, before he was Bray Wyatt, was my rookie at that second season they did of NXT,” said Rhodes. “And the Rotunda family and the Rhodes family, they certainly go way back. I can’t comment on if I see a spot for him when it comes to us.
“But I can tell you, an incredibly creative individual, an incredibly creative man. And whenever I see someone like that lose their job or move into the next phase in their career, as someone who left WWE on my own, at the time that was unheard of, to leave, I just always, I can’t be everyone’s sounding board but I really want to be.”
Rhodes also pointed out the breakout success of GCW World Champion Matt Cardona to share his belief that, assuming he has the passion to do so, Wyatt could easily fit in anywhere.
“I would have never thought that Matt Cardona was gonna end up being the GCW champion and getting pelted with trash. But I should have thought he would be doing something and that’s kind of, to circle back to Bray, I can’t comment on if he fits in with us. But I can say if he has an ounce of passion for this, that guy can fit in anywhere because he’s a very special, special talent. So that’s really all I can say there.”
