"I want it gone" - Cody Rhodes credits former WWE champion for inspiring massive real-life change
WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes recently opened up about making a massive real-life change in the future after getting inspired by a former champion. The name in question is Eve Torres.
Rhodes is currently one of the biggest faces of World Wrestling Entertainment. The Undisputed WWE Champion has made a huge name in the pro wrestling world since returning to the Triple H-led promotion in 2022.
Meanwhile, Eve Torres has been a legend in the pro wrestling world. She joined the Stamford-based promotion in 2007 and went on to win the WWE Divas Championship three times before hanging up her boots in 2013.
During his What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, Cody Rhodes had a conversation with Bianca Belair. He talked about an incident where he was doing a photo shoot with Eve Torres, during which the latter told him she wished she had legs like his.
Rhodes first took it as a compliment, thinking she meant he had muscular legs. However, after giving it some thought, The American Nightmare realized that Torres meant something else.
"Eve Torres was doing a photo shoot, and I was behind her, it was an ID shoot... And my legs are not anything to write home about, they're not big legs. But she said to me, I was doing the shoot, and she said, 'I wish I had your legs.' And in my mind, for a few seconds, I thought, 'Oh she meant like muscular legs.' And then I realized, no, she meant she had for her. That my legs would have been good for her. And I thought, 'Oh, my legs must be really small then,'" he said. [From 21:04 - 21:40]
The Undisputed WWE Champion further mentioned that he wanted to gain a lot of weight after his potential retirement in the future.
"I'm trying to warn everybody. When this is done, I'd like to at least put on 75 to 100 pounds... I want anything, even [my jawline], I want it gone... I don't know what that look is but that's my ideal sixties," he added. [From 21:47 - 22:29]
