Cody Rhodes speaks about Pharoah's last time on the road.
At SummerSlam on Saturday evening, Cody Rhodes was walked through part of his entrance by Pharoah before leaving his faithful pooch and going out for battle with Solo Sikoa at the event.
While speaking at the WWE SummerSlam post-show press conference, Cody spoke to Comic Book's Haley Miller about Pharoah's final time on the road.
"Pharoah’s 13 years old. For those who don’t know, Pharoah’s my husky, he’s my dog. He’s 13 years old. He’s thriving, he’s doing great. But the pack is at home now. He’s more Libby’s dog than he is my dog anymore. But something about Pharoah. Some people know this, but any time I’ve had highs and lows, and particularly the lows in my life, I’m not always the easiest to reach. I remember I just sat outside, when I had a home in Dallas, I couldn’t go inside, I couldn’t function, I couldn’t think. That dog sat with me from, I don’t know, 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. He just never moved. People who have dogs, they get it. He’s really man’s best friend, and I don’t want to keep dragging him on the road if he just wants to be home, so we had a fun time here. Lots of treats. The bus driving crew, clearly giving him food they shouldn’t. But I was happy I got to take that walk with him. My other dog, Yeti Pinkerton, is just a jobber. He’s an enhancement dog [laughs], but now it’s his time to step up and I love him. It was really nice. I thank WWE. It was a pretty ridiculous ask. ‘Can I have my dog here?’ ‘Okay, no problem.’ So that was very kind of WWE to do, I really appreciated it."
Cody also commented at the post show press conference about Arn Anderson showing up at SummerSlam. You can check out more about that here.
