Kevin Nash recently discussed various subjects on his “Kliq This” podcast, including Cody Rhodes’ victory over Roman Reigns where he won the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40 (Night Two). Nash stated,
“They just came off that WrestleMania run, they’re over in Europe. I’m sorry, man, but the only old-school guy that’s still in that locker room, that’s of the new era, is Cody. Cody would work three hundred f**king days and wouldn’t bat an eye. That’s why he’s the perfect f**king champion right now. He’s not gonna take time off. He’s gonna show up an hour before anybody else does and sign 250 f**king belts. I’m just saying, when you look at it and they had that iron man thing, and it was Dom Mysterio, Seth, and it was Cody, and they were like 103 [matches], 108, 113, those were the workhorses for the year. There wasn’t a guy in our locker room that didn’t do 250.”
Rhodes will defend the title for the first time against AJ Styles at Backlash: France 2024.
