Cody Rhodes Rule He Has For Using Other Wrestlers’ Moves

Cody Rhodes has been working hard over the last few years and he’s managed to become one of the top stars in WWE. The American Nightmare has a plethora of moves in his arsenal, and some of them have been lifted from other wrestlers.

Recently Cody Rhodes spoke to Fightful about a rule he has when it comes to using moves that are used by other wrestlers, and he noted that he thinks everything is fair game if he’s faced a certain wrestler more than five times.

“Booker T, in the corner. Jerry Lynn also does it. I’ll do the spin over into a sunset flip. My rule is, if I wrestle you more than five times, I can do all your stuff. It’s only my rule, and people hate it. I love the Cody Cutter. I think it’s better than an Os-Cutter, but I did get it from Will, so fair play to Will, who’s super talented. Beyond super talented.

“If I’ve wrestled you more than five times, I told Jay Lethal this once, and he hated it,” Cody continues. “He’s like, ‘No, wait, no, no, that’s not how it works.’ I can do your stuff. It’s just my rule, and I’m waiting for someone to be like, ‘Hey, please don’t.’ But hey, I like to sponge. Part of what we do is, I got to lean into being a Rhodes, so I can do these Rhodes things. I got to lean into being part of the indie revival. I got all that, and I’m lucky to have been part of it. So I sponge off as much as I can. The Booker roll, which Jerry does as well, there’s a couple of Arn Anderson things that I do that are hard to visualize. It’s all someone else’s. I just try to put into a Nightmare package.”
