Cody Rhodes: Triple H Is An Incredible Mentor, I’d Like To Follow In His Footsteps And Put It To Good Use

‘The American Nightmare’ has all the respect in the world for The Game.

Since returning to the WWE, the relationship between Cody Rhodes and Triple H has grown into something beautiful, from both a personal aspect to the professionalism they hold for each other.

During a conversation with Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour, Rhodes spoke about Triple H, noting that he would like to follow in the footsteps of The Game when it comes to in-ring performances and behind-the-scenes.

“I’m shocked to say…I guess I’m not shocked to say…I never anticipated when we did the breaking of the throne, I think I said ‘pissant body builder’ at one point in my independent [career], it may have been in an AEW rant, something, all of it rattling the cages, all of it in the spirit of trash talk and sports entertainment, but we take this stuff personally and it gets under our skin,” said Cody. “He really had no reason to take care of me, and he has been an incredible guide, an incredible mentor. Often, I’ll be standing in Gorilla when something else is on the show and I’ll look at him and there is an understanding, there is a knowledge of, ‘Oh, that was great’ or ‘that wasn’t, what can we do here?’ If I do continue my career in sports entertainment and pro wrestling, I’ve not shared this with anybody, I’ve not even shared this with him, but if I was to continue and it was in a backstage environment, I’d like to kind of perhaps follow in those footsteps. I have a great amount of experience, good and bad, and I can put it to use. We’re not there yet.”

Rhodes is set to collide with the Bloodline on night one of WrestleMania 40 before he battles Roman Reigns on night two for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship.
