There’s no doubt about the fact that Cody Rhodes is the current face of WWE. His voice and his opinion matter a lot at this juncture. In short, Cody represents WWE to the outside world.

So, The American Nightmare was recently speaking at The Pivot podcast show, and he was asked about his Mount Rushmore of pro wrestling. While the host expected The American Nightmare to name some wrestling legend, the name Cody Rhodes took was shocking.

Who was it then? It’s The Final Boss, The Rock. Rhodes hesitated a bit before spouting The Rock’s name, but he eventually said it. Aside from The Rock, Cody also named three other wrestlers as his wrestling personality. 


What did Cody Rhodes say about his choice as Mount Rushmore in wrestling?

Rhodes was asked who were the people whom he looked upon in WWE. He goes, “My Mount Rushmore is different...i cannot believe.. i'm going to say this..i'm not a fan of his, he's not a fan of mine..he's going to be The Rock.” Rhodes said.

The fact that he took Rock’s name as his Mount Rushmore in wrestling is shocking because the two had a fierce face-off in WWE before WrestleMania 41. The Rock even smashed his face in one of the segments on Monday Night RAW, in Chicago and even teased revenge against him when he returned.
