Cody Rhodes claims Wade Barrett will eventually become a World Champion
WWE recently posted a throwback from 2015 in the form of the WrestleMania 31 Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match featuring some of the finest wrestlers including Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, Jon Moxley, and Cody Rhodes himself.
In response to the match, a fan wrote that everyone involved in the 7-way match was super talented, however, Wade Barrett of all people should have been a World Champion. Cody replied to the comment by pointing out the negative aspect of debuting at a young age, however, the former American Nightmare does believe Barrett will become a World Champion in some capacity before it's all said and done.
The AEW Superstar also added that much like any other sport, a Superstar will also get better with repetition in the world of professional wrestling, as he feels that the former leader of Nexus will hold the World Championship at some point down the line.
Here is what Cody tweeted:
What's next for Cody?
Cody is currently scheduled to face Darby Allin in a semi-final match in the on-going TNT Championship Tournament.
As far as Barrett is concerned, the former WWE Intercontinental Champion is mostly working as a commentator for NWA.
