Cody Rhodes calls John Cena the GOAT.
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has been the face of WWE for a while now, even before he won the title. In many ways, he is following in the footsteps of 16-time world champion John Cena. Rhodes has previously made it clear that he has looked up to Cena, who will retire following the conclusion of his farewell tour in 2025.
During a live signing at Fanatics Fest NYC, Cody Rhodes was asked about facing Cena during his retirement tour.
"We get to live in this era, he’s definitely a man of his word. When he says it’s farewell, it truly is farewell. If you have the farewell tour t-shirt, go and get it, this is it. I drove John around for a year and I learned everything I possibly could. Didn’t realize I was learning so much at the time. It would be the honor of my life to wrestle John Cena in any capacity. He’s the GOAT for a reason," Rhodes said.
Rhodes recently said that making eye contact with John Cena before he won the Undisputed WWE Championship was the high of highs. Check out his comments here.
