Former WWE Superstar (and Global Force NEX*GEN Champion) Cody Rhodes recently appeared on Colt Cabana’s Art of Wrestling podcast and had strong praise for NXT star Tye Dillinger. Cody called him the “Greatest human being alive” and can’t believe he’s still in ‘developmental.’
After a rocky departure from WWE earlier this year, Cody is not on the best terms with the company. The strained relationship has led Cody to hold back on his public endorsements of Tye Dillinger. “I’m afraid of… all the time I want to tweet stuff about Tye Dillinger and I’m afraid if I do, someone will be like, because I’m not in the best graces with the office currently, I’m afraid someone will be like, because of my love of him,” Rhodes said.
How Dusty Rhodes would write that Dillinger is ready for the main roster?
Cabana asked how Dusty Rhodes would have evaluated Tye Dillinger and gotten him ready for the main roster. “If a guy already had it, he didn’t spend a lot of time on them,” Cody said. “Daniel Bryan is a great example. Barely kind of blew Dan off too. But in his reports, wrote, ‘this guy’s ready – what can I do?’ that’s the Tye Dillinger report from his fifth year in developmental. And, literally, that was what my dad always wrote about Tye, ‘what is he still doing here?’ … The mystery of Tye. It’s a mystery. I think the only way to fix it is to every time you go to these events, like fans who go to NXT events, you need to give him everything because he’ll give it back, man.
