Cody Rhodes names Triple H as his role model

In a recent interview with Inside the Ropes, Cody Rhodes talked about his career and his current run with AEW. At one point, Cody revealed that his role model was none other than the COO of WWE, Triple H. Rhoades added that the way Triple H carried himself with multiple roles within the company reminded him of his Dad Dusty Rhodes.

Cody also added that he watched him from a distance and learned a lot from him when he had a stint with the Hunter, Shawn Michaels, and Ted DiBiase.

Cody said- “I don’t know if I should share this, but, at some point, it’s going to come off my chest: Triple H is probably my favorite wrestler and was a role model. I only watched from a distance, but he reminded me a lot of my dad in the sense that I watched him do all the work, be this executive, and then go out there.”
