Eric Bischoff comments on who could be the next top star in WWE.
Eric Bischoff recently participated in a Q&A episode of his podcast, 83 Weeks. During the podcast, Bischoff was asked about the next potential top star in WWE. With options such as Cody Rhodes, LA Knight, and more, Eric says there really is no wrong answer but ultimately believes Cody Rhodes is next in line for the top spot.
As for the uber-popular LA Knight, Bischoff believes the former Eli Drake is a major star sitting in the waiting room for the future.
"There's probably multiple answers to that. There's no wrong answer," says Eric. "I think for the future, LA Knight. I think LA Knight's gonna end up being a massive star. He's not yet. He's a big star. He's a huge star, but he's not as big as he's going to be in the future. So, he is a massive star in the waiting room. Roman Reigns certainly is the man right now. That's where the focus is. Cody's got to be the guy. As of right now, Cody is the future of WWE, over the next 24 to 36 months for sure. What happens after that? Who knows. Injuries, other opportunities, other stars that come out of the woodwork, kind of like LA Knight has, you know, who knows what the future is?
"I would imagine, again, I don't talk to anybody in WWE about creative stuff, but I would imagine most of the planning and the conversations are all around Cody and what's going to happen at WrestleMania. By that metric alone, I would say Cody," he added.
Someone who's worked with Eric very closely in years past, Kevin Sullivan, also believes that WrestleMania 40 will be the setting to finally allow Cody Rhodes to finish the story and become WWE Champion. Read more here.
