Cody Rhodes has expressed great respect for American champion Logan Paul, describing him as one of the most hardworking individuals he has ever encountered and predicting that Paul will eventually become a WWE world champion.
During an interview on the Bill Simmons podcast, Rhodes was asked if he was upset about how quickly Paul adapted to professional wrestling. Rhodes replied, "No. If he had just jumped in and immediately performed at that level, I would be annoyed. But he’s been one of the hardest working people I’ve ever seen and took it as seriously as anyone."
The "American Nightmare" confidently foresees a bright future for Paul, believing the social media sensation will climb to the pinnacle of the wrestling world. "I think he’s going to be a World Champion or WWE Champion. The internet buzz is huge, and we’re doing well. He’s truly special," Rhodes said. "It’s legal to compete fiercely, but I love having him on the team. He’s a huge asset to WWE and definitely a future champion."
Rhodes’s praise came just a day after Logan Paul participated in a high-profile celebrity tag team match at Summerslam. Teaming with Drew McIntyre, Paul helped secure a victory over Randy Orton and music artist Jerry Roll, adding another notable win to his growing legacy.
Fan Take: This news is significant for WWE fans because it highlights Logan Paul’s rapid rise and genuine dedication to wrestling, which could attract a broader audience to the sport. Paul’s potential to become a top champion might usher in fresh storylines and elevate WWE’s appeal in the digital age.
