Cody Rhodes said:
“I met him at All Pro Wrestling in San Francisco. I knew right away who he was and we started Uce’n each other.
“I had been around Jimmy and Jey throughout my whole first run with WWE. Jacob is really special. He feels like a little baby here and I want to make sure everything is right. He’s special.
