WWE In the WWE post-Fastlane press conference, Cody Rhodes discussed his upcoming appearance on NXT, this Tuesday October 10.
Rhodes said:
“When I came back to WWE, I flat out told them I will never step foot in the Performance Center. And the reason was not my dislike of the Performance Center, it’s… he’s (Dusty’s) everywhere in there.
“And it’s hard. And then I ended up being in the Performance Center like a month later to do medical, okay, I went back on that. I just want to go, I have a specific announcement that I wanna bring, and I’m excited to be there, I’m excited to see Shawn Michaels and what he’s done.
“Carmelo Hayes is one of my favorite people. Trick… it’s an impressive, impressive, impressive group. I don’t think that’s (being a trainer) in the cards for me, but here’s the thing.
“I have probably told you guys a bazillion things, and somehow ended up in that exact spot. So, I don’t know. Dusty taught communication, he taught promos, he called it communication.
“No-one really filled that spot after he left. I always thought somebody like a Mick Foley would fill that spot, somebody who’s been there, who did it.
“But I am not going to teach them anything, I am going to be there with them, and just enjoy it, have a little bit of fun. It’s out of my comfort zone, I’m genuinely terrified.
“But we’re in a crazy time for our industry and I’m excited for my announcement and to be able to bring that to the NXT Universe and sports entertainment fans, and wrestling fans.”
