Eric Bischoff comments on Cody Rhodes getting the chance to compete in a WarGames match.
At the Survivor Series premium live event on Saturday, November 25, Cody Rhodes, Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins, Jey Uso and Randy Orton will face The Judgment Day & Drew McIntyre in the Men's WarGames match. Rhodes, Zayn, Uso, and Rollins have been feuding with The Judgment Day throughout the year, so many expect this match to be the bout that ties up many loose ends with those feuds.
This will be Rhodes' first time competing in a WarGames match. 'The American Nightmare' was set to compete in a Blood & Guts match for All Elite Wrestling in 2020, but that bout never happened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On the latest episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff said that Rhodes getting to be in the WarGames match is a full circle moment.
“It’s a story within a story. You’ve got the wrestling story, in-ring story. As we’re really heading into WrestleMania, it’s not too early to say that. In another 60 days, we’re gonna be hearing about people being inducted into the 2024 Hall of Fame. It’s not that far away, so I think that you’ve got Cody Rhodes’ wrestling story, and then you’ve got life. The story of life, and the story of life is that Dusty Rhodes was the visionary behind WarGames. I think Cody, to have the opportunity to participate, and not just participate but participate as a featured talent, it’s full circle shit, brother, and I love it. I love that kind of thing. I’m partial to Cody and the entire Rhodes family. But even beyond that, this is cool shit. This is the kind of story that makes sports so interesting."
