Cody Rhodes’ future may be at WrestleMania, but the American Nightmare would love to do more with WWE’s developmental brand.
Following the death of Cody’s father in 2015, WWE NXT introduced the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, a tournament named after the beloved wrestler and NXT trainer.
Speaking with the Daily Mail, Rhodes addressed the possibility of him being involved with the next tournament. He said,
“When it comes to the Dusty Classic I’d love to do anything to be involved. It’s obviously more NXT and that’s where we’re developing tomorrow’s superstars today and you want to keep it in their wheelhouse. But I’d be more than happy to hand potentially Pretty Deadly that trophy or a different team ’cause there’s so much good going on down there.”
Speaking about his father, Cody said he wants to represent Dusty fairly because promoters didn’t always treat the American Dream properly during his in-ring career.
Though a tournament has not been announced, Rhodes implied it will likely happen when asked about future plans to showcase his father. He added,
“The A&E documentary that I was able to be an executive producer on, his story, that is coming soon before WrestleMania — not to mention the Dusty Rhodes Classic.”
