Cody Rhodes: I’ve Earned The Ability To Call An Audible, But I Rarely Do

Cody Rhodes has dubbed himself as QB1 in WWE, taking ownership of his position as the top star in the company and wanting the pressure that comes along with being the quarterback of a franchise.

Speaking on WFAN, Rhodes was asked how much input he has when working with people like Nick Khan, Triple H, and The Rock.

“Triple H, Nick Khan, and The Rock are aware I have an instinct and education on it and aware that I have my own opinions of maybe what I could do and should do. However, coming in here, one of the greatest gifts in coming back to WWE was, ‘You guys tell me. Tell me. I’ve been too caught up on doing all of this on my own, tell me the play.’ (I’m the) quarterback of WWE, but you tell me the play. I have to trust you. On Unreal, you’re seeing Michael Hayes and Paul Heyman, these are far greater minds than I have. ‘You guys know more than I know. I have my gut, but you know more than I know. I’m not afraid to ask you. Tell me where we’re running,'” he said.

Asked if he has the ability to audible, Cody replied, “I think I’ve earned the ability, but I rarely do it. I want to know if you were right. If you were right, where did you learn that? Michael, is this what you did with Kerry Von Erich. Mr. Heyman, is this a piece from the Dangerous Alliance? Triple H, was this from your own run? I want to know. Nine times, pretty much ten times out of ten, that crew is typically right. They did it at a high level.”

Elsewhere during the interview, Cody named two match stipulations he would like to see in WWE. You can find his comments here.
