Cody Rhodes has high praise for Jacob Fatu.
Since making his debut in WWE, Fatu has made a name for himself on Friday Night SmackDown, and last year, he came up against WWE Champion Rhodes in some tense segments. The pair have also met in tag team and trios action.
While speaking on the latest episode of What Do You Wanna Talk About?, Cody spoke about meeting Fatu and how he feels like Jacob is ‘really special’.
“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. I know everyone here is incredibly impressed with Jacob, too. When something good happens for him, all of us are like, ‘Awesome.”’
Elsewhere in the same podcast, Cody spoke about how Randy Orton has become a locker room leader in recent years. You can read more about that here.
