Cody Rhodes wants to get a 'classic wrestling manager' to join him during his title reign after getting tricked by Logan Paul
Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports

Cody Rhodes finally finished his story after he defeated Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL. Since then, he has been on a dream run as champion, successfully defending the title on multiple occasions. However, he opened up in an interview about one thing that was missing in his title reign.

In his recent interview on Busted Open Radio, The American Nightmare talked about his next title defense against U.S. Champion, Logan Paul. During the conversation, he expressed his desire to work with a classic manager, feeling that this element was missing in his title reign. Cody Rhodes cited his contract signing segment with The Maverick as an example, mentioning how many people flanked him during the event.

When SmackDown GM, Nick Aldis announced that The U.S. Champion would be his next opponent, Rhodes assumed that both titles would be on the line. He even expressed his desire to win both titles and become a grand slam champion. However, Logan threw a curveball at him and made a new contract, which read only the 38-year-old would defend his Undisputed title at the King and Queen of the ring PLE.

It was nice to have that voice in your ear. It was something I missed when Logan and I were doing this contract signing to see him flanked by so many people. I don’t know. Maybe I’m looking for the classic wrestling manager to join me on this title reign. I don’t know who that is or what that is but it just felt like I wouldn’t mind someone to holler the stuff that you just did. Cody Rhodes via The Busted Open Radio

Rhodes recently defeated AJ Styles for the Undisputed WWE Title at Backlash in front of a jam-packed crowd in France. It will be interesting to see whether The American Nightmare manages to retain his title against Paul.

Cody Rhodes learned of plans for The Rock vs. Roman Reigns the day of the 2024 Royal Rumble

After Cody Rhodes won the 2024 Royal Rumble, he pointed towards Roman Reigns, setting up their match for WrestleMania XL. However, at one point, WWE attempted to shift the focus from Rhodes to The Rock. The American Nightmare revealed in that interview what he went through in his mind during that time.

In the same interview, Rhodes spoke about the upcoming documentary about WrestleMania 40. He stated that he knew about the potential plan for a match between the cousins on the night of the Royal Rumble itself. The 38-year-old was told to keep his head up and ensure that nobody knew about this.

We talked a little bit about that in the behind-the-scenes documentary. The one thing that is revealed in that documentary and might put things in a different perspective for people is I found out the possibility of The Rock versus Roman Reigns the day of the Royal Rumble.

However, after seeing fans turn on the idea and express their immense support for Rhodes, The Rock turned heel. At the WrestleMania XL kickoff press conference, he finally announced that he would indeed challenge the Tribal Chief.
