Cody Rhodes Would Love To Present Trophy For Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic

WWE

Cody Rhodes would love to present the trophy for the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Since 2015, the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic has become a staple of the NXT brand with many prominent duos winning the tournament, such as Samoa Joe & Finn Balor, Matt Riddle & Pete Dunne, MSK, The Creed Brothers and Undisputed Era.

Speaking with Alex McCarthy for Inside The Ropes, Cody Rhodes discussed the tournament and wanting to present the trophy to a NXT team that wins the tournament. He said:

“For all things Dusty Rhodes, the A&E Biography that I was able to be the Executive Producer on, his story that is coming soon, hopefully before WrestleMania itself, to see the full story. Not to mention the Dusty Rhodes Classic.”

“One of the things that was obviously very appealing for me is you’re never not your father or your mother’s son and it is important to me. He cannot be there to protect and explain and defend his legacy.”

“So that was always a huge thing that was on the table that is obviously very appealing to me, being here and coming back to WWE so when it comes to the Dusty Rhodes Classic, I’d love to do anything involved.”

“Obviously, it’s more NXT and that’s where we’re developing, like I was saying on Raw, tomorrow’s superstars today.”

Singling out Pretty Deadly as a duo he would love to hand the hardware to, Rhodes said:

“You want to keep it in their wheelhouse but I’d be more than happy to hand a potentially Pretty Deadly that trophy or a different team because so much is going on that’s good down there.”

“Shawn Michaels has done an incredible job and continues to do but I love all things Dusty. I just want to make sure he’s represented fairly because for a good time in the business, he wasn’t and WWE has done a really great job of letting you know what he did, how he did it and how it still affects what we do.”
