Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso dethroned The Judgment Day (Finn Balor & Damian Priest) to capture the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships in the opening match of Saturday night’s WWE Fastlane 2023 pay-per-view event.
During the post-WWE Fastlane 2023 media scrum, Rhodes noted that he has no intention of ever stepping into his late father Dusty Rhodes’ shoes as a WWE Performance Center coach. He said,
“My manager can tell you this, when I came back to WWE, I flat out told them, ‘I will never step foot in the Performance Center. The reason was not my dislike of the Performance Center, it’s ‘[Dusty’s] everywhere in there,’ and it’s hard. Then I ended up being in the Performance Center, like a month later to do medical or something. Okay, I went back on that.”
He continued, “Dusty taught communication. He taught promos, he called it communication. No one really filled that spot after he left. I always thought somebody like a Mick Foley or somebody would fill that spot — somebody who’s been there, did it.”
Rhodes will appear on Tuesday night’s episode of WWE NXT to make a “major announcement.”
