WWE NXT Star Wants WrestleMania Match With Cody Rhodes

WWE

When the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes made the jump over to WWE, there were a plethora of new opponents waiting for him following his AEW run.

Many of the current WWE roster have yet to toss up with the American Nightmare, and the same can be said for the current NXT roster.

NXT star Grayson Waller was on WWE After The Bell this week, where he was asked who he would want to face at WrestleMania.

Waller said that he wants to challenge the best, and he believes Cody Rhodes is the best.

He said:

“There is one answer I’m not going to say because I’ve been calling this guy out for twelve months and he’s not said anything back, so I’m going to give it up.

“Corey (Graves), I’m going to put this towards you. I’ve always heard stories about Dusty Rhodes in NXT. Everyone has told stories about how incredible he was, I never got to work with him because I came in too late, but I was always like, ‘Man, I wish I got to work with Dusty.’ Everyone says incredible stories. I feel the PC [WWE Performance Center] is Dusty’s house. I came in, I knocked the door down, I moved in, this is my house now and I live rent free in this house and I run NXT.

“I genuinely think and want to see if Cody has anything to say about that. I want to see what he has to say about that. He’s the measuring stick right now when it comes to superstars. I’ve met Cody before and when he walks in a room, it’s a different feeling, it’s like, ‘Wow, that’s the guy.’

“If I’m going to main event WrestleMania, I want to stand across from the guy. I want to stand across from Cody Rhodes and I want to see what that feels like and I want to test myself. I want to challenge the best and Cody is the best,”

Waller won the first ever men’s Iron Survivor Challenge, and is set to challenge Bron Breakker for the NXT Championship at New Year’s Evil on January 10.
