The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes has not had a manager in the second run in WWE. Now, Rhodes has shared his thoughts on potentially becoming a Paul Heyman Guy.
During a recent interview with Raj Prashad for Uproxx, Cody Rhodes said he would have been a great Paul Heyman Guy. He also called Heyman a super genius in the wrestling business.
“I think in another lifetime, I would have made a really great Paul Heyman guy. I have an unflinching respect for Mr. Heyman not just what he did for my dad, but his own story. Even if I’m the guy that beats the Bloodline, even if that’s my role in all this. I like to be in the orbit of Mr. Heyman because there are very few super geniuses as we call them in Sports Entertainment and he’s one. If you’re on set and you get the chance to work with a Scorsese, for example, it’s as a wrestler to be in that orbit, to have those conversations, that’s something I enjoy about it.
“It’s great when someone has your back on screen, that’s cool. But to have somebody who has your back off screen, it plays out differently when you’re out there. To have that uniformed manager, truly a manager. Something about this looks fun because you get to feel and hear a crowd and have that moment, share that moment. For me, everyone’s at a distance. I don’t know, maybe something down the road, any type of person who can be there to support me behind the scenes.”
Cody Rhodes on working with Arn Anderson in AEW
During the same interview, The American Nightmare reflected on his time in AEW with Arn Anderson in his corner. Rhodes also teased that there is a chance to reunite with Arn Anderson in WWE. He also stated that anything can happen in the modern era of WWE and that Triple H is indeed ‘cooking.’
“I always like when they have a connection to my roots. Or particularly, that’s one of the reasons I liked using Arn (Anderson) when we had Arn at AEW was just because he was my dad’s adversary, like a nemesis, and to be able to get his perspective versus just what I would have gotten from my father was really unique. I don’t see it happening by any means, but gosh. If you’re watching modern WWE, anything can happen at any point. Triple H, just doing it, just cooking as the kids say,” Cody Rhodes said.
