A passing comment from former WWE Superstar Eve Torres encouraged Cody Rhodes to work on his legs, the American Nightmare has revealed.
On a recent edition of his “What Do You Want To Talk About?” podcast, Rhodes talked with Bianca Belair about physiques and shared that his legs previously lacked muscle.
Rhodes explained how a comment by Eve, a former WWE Divas Champion, made him want to work on packing on bulk to his legs. He said,
“Eve Torres was doing a photo shoot, and I was behind her, it was an ID shoot… And my legs are not anything to write home about, they’re not big legs. But she said to me, I was doing the shoot, and she said, ‘I wish I had your legs.’
“And in my mind, for a few seconds, I thought, ‘Oh she meant like muscular legs.’ And then I realized, no, she meant she had for her. That my legs would have been good for her. And I thought, ‘Oh, my legs must be really small then.”
Eve retired from in-ring competition in 2013 and has made a handful of appearances ever since, including in July 2019 as part of the RAW Reunion.
Rhodes has worked hard on his legs but is ready to take things easy after his wrestling career is over and plans to pack on the pounds once he retires.
