29-year-old WWE star reveals one thing Cody Rhodes has in common with Triple H

Triple H and Cody Rhodes have both played a major role in changing the landscape of the wrestling business. WWE SmackDown Superstar Carmelo Hayes recently shared his thoughts on what both men have in common.

The Game is the Chief Content Officer of the Stamford-based company while The American Nightmare, apart from being the current Undisputed WWE Champion, played a huge role in the formation of AEW, which is the Stamford-based promotion's biggest competition. Both of them have been tasked with creating stars as part of their executive roles, and they know what it is like to deal with a lot of pressure.

During an appearance on The Masked Man Show, Carmelo Hayes compared Cody Rhodes' mindset to Triple H and explained that they both have a great understanding of how to build stars and make money with them in the future.

"He's [Cody] been one of those guys, where, you know, he's really tapped into the future, and same with Hunter. They understand that these are the next guys, these are the guys we're going to be working with down the road... he's always got his ear to the streets and he knows like, 'Alright, who's coming up, who's hot, you know who can I make money with in the future," Carmelo Hayes said.

Melo went on:

"Hunter and Cody are neck and neck with that kind of understanding for building the future and understanding that these are the guys that are going to carry us into the next generation... that's the one thing I love about the landscape of WWE right now, is that it's very future centric if you will. Where you know they're really hammering on helping guys get to that next level and succeed." [H/T WrestlingINC]

What the future has in store for the 29-year-old star remains to be seen.
