Cody Rhodes is currently one of the biggest stars of WWE. He recently won the 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble match and is set to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39. Former WWE and WCW writer Vince Russo recently stated that he likes Cody Rhodes’ promos. However, he did not say the same when he delivers them by himself.
‘The American Nightmare’ is one of the only talents in WWE today who is universally beloved by fans. A lot of it goes down to his ability to generate sympathy through his promos. Cody Rhodes’ recent mic battle with Paul Heyman from RAW deservingly won him plaudits from fans and critics alike.
Vince Russo opens up on Cody Rhodes
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Writing with Russo, Vince Russo stated that he didn’t enjoy Cody’s solo promos as much as his interactions with others.
While discussing the “Best Promo of the Year” category in the Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards, Russo also mentioned Sami Zayn, saying he wasn’t the right pick as he truly shined on the mic in 2023.
“You see, bro, I like Cody when he’s in there with somebody. I don’t like Cody when he’s cutting promos by himself. I like when he’s in there with somebody. Sami…Sami didn’t have any serious promos in 2022; I don’t believe. Serious ones I’m talking about. He didn’t do the turn in 2022,” said Vince Russo.Â
