Rhodes mentioned how it started for him after his first stint at WWE. He said, “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have. But I think in the beginning, admittedly the beginning because I started wearing suits everywhere, every day when I left WWE in 2015. And when I went on the independent scene, I’d be wearing a suit, and that on an independent level was very different. And a lot of people hadn’t seen that. And it was a gimmick, I think. You know if I can use that word. It was part of a character, more or less.”

He later revealed how he felt more comfortable with the suit and wanted to appear as the person in charge all the time. It made him confident and made Rhodes appear more approachable to anyone in the company.
