WWE Champion Cody Rhodes told ESPN\u2019s Unsportsmanlike that he and others already have an eye on being next in line. &#8220;I think there\u2019s starting to become a fight for it, and I didn\u2019t see that at first,&#8221; Rhodes said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought, well, obviously I\u2019m the best candidate. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m actually the best candidate [laughs]. I felt like I had some experience, and I\u2019d be interested in something like that, but also, it\u2019s very clear that CM Punk is really great at helping develop young talent, probably has a knack for it more than anybody. Seth Rollins is a little bit more rough around the edges, but probably would be an outstanding boss when it comes down to it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019d love to throw my name in the hat. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m ready to do it officially yet, but I like the fact that there\u2019s the three of us, plus tons of other people. Bayley, Roman [Reigns] will always have a say. You\u2019ve got an older locker room right now, so eventually those positions, see if you can do good, because it\u2019s not always booking. The industry is not easy, and Triple H is doing a great job, so thankfully, we have him for quite some time.&#8221; Watch the full interview below or via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=td3ofJWSYaw&amp;t=5s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESPN&#8217;s YouTube page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> It would be a trip if Punk went from being a punk rock kid to becoming one of the most powerful players in WWE&#8217;s corporate office. Cody threw out some interesting wrestler names, but one can only imagine that some non-wrestlers, such as Paul Heyman or longtime creative team member Ed Koskey, or former WWE creative team leader Brian Gewirtz, would be considered whenever the time comes. It&#8217;s worth noting that Gewirtz has a pretty powerful ally in Dwayne &#8220;The Rock&#8221; Johnson, though it&#8217;s certainly possible that Johnson could be interested in that role for himself. After all, Johnson made a play within Warner Bros. Discovery to take control of the DC Universe, and is a member of the TKO board of directors. Cody also spoke about becoming the top star in WWE, the company&#8217;s partnership with ESPN, his father, and starting in WWE as a &#8220;nepo baby.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/td3ofJWSYaw?si=MHBAt4VbtNxrvTXM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-2648693292\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":93750,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[49,1260,321,706,239,3457,174,1351,54,149,61,4840,58,56,101],"class_list":["post-178089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-wwe_news","tag-bayley","tag-brian-gewirtz","tag-cm-punk","tag-cody-rhodes","tag-dwayne-johnson","tag-ed-koskey","tag-paul-heyman","tag-paul-levesque","tag-roman-reigns","tag-seth-rollins","tag-the-rock","tag-tko","tag-triple-h","tag-vince-mcmahon","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
