Nick Aldis has weighed in on Cody Rhodes’ WWE Royal Rumble victory and Sami Zayn’s rise to stardom through The Bloodline storyline. Aldis faced off with Rhodes at the historic All In pay-per-view event and takes a little bit of pride in knowing that he was a small part of Rhodes’ road to this moment.
Speaking to AdFreeShows, Aldis stated that WWE is in a great spot with both Sami Zayn and Cody Rhodes as top babyfaces to Roman Reigns on the road to WrestleMania 39. He suggested that WWE may be allowing things to happen naturally, rather than just sticking to one plan.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his own match with Rhodes at All In: “That sounds like a silly thing to say but I was a part of his journey, and it’s cool to think like ‘Well, there you go; you did the right thing and it’s inspiring.’ He and I stay in touch and he’s been very supportive of me which is cool. I guess I’m a little biased in that respect but I think it’s really cool.”
On Rhodes’ and Sami Zayn’s rise to babyface spots: “I think it’s indicative of perhaps [WWE] is just letting things happen a little bit and not necessarily so steadfast on one plan. I don’t know, that’s just an educated guess but it’s cool that they’ve happened on this really unique situation with two really hot babyfaces. It’s a good problem to have — to have too many acts who people see as deserving of the top spot.”
