“I Wanna See It So Bad” – Former RAW General Manager Wants Cody Rhodes to Beat Roman Reigns for a Very “Selfish” Reason

‘Complete your story at WrestleMania 39’ is a current narrative for Cody Rhodes that every fan is saying around. After being far from WWE for six long years, The American Nightmare returned with a huge pop last year. However, as he faces Roman Reigns in six days, former RAW General Manager has backed the former AEW star to win the big one. 

Rhodes’ story is about winning the title that his father, Dusty Rhodes, wasn’t able to win. Eric Bischoff recently shared how personal it is for him to see the 37-year-old win WWE’s top price.

The recent episode of 83 Weeks opened with Conrad Thompson asking Bischoff about Cody Rhodes. The former Senior Vice President of WCW, with a cheerful voice, shared his thoughts on why Rhodes should win.

Bischoff said, “Ah, here’s what I mean, I wanna see it so bad. You know, not just obviously for Cody, where I’ve watched him grow up. I knew him when he was a little kid. And my relationship, mine relationship with Dusty we were close. So for very personal just, but the truth is selfish reasons for us.”

The 2021 WWE Hall of Famer added, “I want to see Cody, I want to see that. And I think a lot of other fans, you know, a lot of fans do as well. But you just never know, right? You just never know. And that’s the magic. That’s the magic but I want to see it”

Like several wrestling legends, Bischoff has known Dusty and Cody Rhodes for a long time. Therefore, he too, is partly invested and has seen all the struggles the former Intercontinental Champion went through.
