Cody Rhodes has been one of the most popular stars in wrestling for years now and he solidified his place at the top of the mountain in WWE when he defeated Roman Reigns to become the new Undisputed WWE Champion.
It’s no big secret that Cody Rhodes has been one of the biggest merchandise sellers for WWE since he returned to the company a few years ago, but The American Nightmare explained on The Pivot Podcast that he still goes to John Cena for advice regarding metrics he should be paying attention to.
“Most wrestlers, because I think they qualify themselves more as artists, it doesn’t all compute. You have to have somebody look at it and break it down for you. That’s the best thing that can happen because then you go, ‘Okay, I have room to grow. Here is what I want to do.’
I get my merch sheet still of what I sold in the Garden, percentage, all this. I’ll tell you who I send it to. I don’t send it to him as ‘Hey, check it out.’ I send it to him because I know he’s going to tell me the truth. It’s (John) Cena. It’s never, ‘Unbeliavable, great job, you’re there. You’ve made it.’ It’s always, ‘Well, why don’t you check the other shows you’re not on and see how you’re doing there.’ Come on, man.”
Cody Rhodes will be in action at the Money in the Bank premium live event this weekend as he’s currently set to team with Kevin Owens & Randy Orton to face The Bloodline in a six man tag team match.
Stay tuned for updates.
