69-year-old WWE Hall of Famer interested in a match against Cody Rhodes: "I’ve wrestled his brother and father"
WWE Hall of Famer Jake 'The Snake' Roberts is interested in competing in a match against The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes. Jake Roberts is currently signed to AEW.
The Undisputed WWE Champion recently stated that he would've loved to wrestle Jake 'The Snake' Roberts and also learn his in-ring psychology. Cody Rhodes has had some exchanges with Jake Roberts during his time in AEW. Rhodes was in a feud with Lance Archer who was managed by Jake Roberts in All Elite Wrestling.
In a recent episode of his Snake Pit podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer said that he would be interested in a match against The American Nightmare. Jake Roberts recalled wrestling Dusty and Dustin Rhodes in his career and claimed that he would defeat Cody Rhodes.
“It feels pretty damn good, I gotta tell you that. I’d be interested in that match for sure. You know, I’ve wrestled his brother and father, so I might as well kick his a** too." H/T:[Fightful]
Jim Cornette on Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes' babyface run
The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes returned to WWE as a babyface at WrestleMania 38 in 2022. He got the fans behind him instantly and went on to climb the ladder to become the top champion in the Stamford-based promotion.
However, in a recent edition of The Jim Cornette Experience podcast, the former manager claimed that Cody Rhodes is not as much of a babyface as compared to his father Dusty Rhodes.
“This is it. He's not being too much of a babyface; he's crossing the line into a little prissy-ness. He's doing the Dusty cadence, but he's not doing the Dusty ‘Having a build like one of the boys’ type of thing, you know?' Dusty's character's life goal was to beat up everybody that graduated from Harvard. But, you know, Cody needs his daughter to know that he's the champion,” said Jim Cornette. [1:49 onwards]
We will have to wait and see if Cody Rhodes brings some changes to his character in the future.
