“Yeah, kind of,” he said. “I love my brother, but he has to do what he needs to do. He has a story that he’s had in his mind that he has to finish. We’ve all heard it, every single week, ‘finish the story.’ I tell him that all the time, I hope he does. I think he’s probably slated for it this year, at least I’m hoping. He doesn’t know yet.
“We’re just playing it by ear. He’s working hard, he’s trying his hardest to be the face of that company. It would be nice to get a payoff, the one Rhodes in the family that actually pulls it off, it’s pretty cool. I’m behind him 110%, very happy for him, I love him to death. He’s earned it. He deserves it.
Dustin Rhodes: Cody Rhodes Has Earned It
Dustin Rhodes then stated that he believes his brother has earned the spot as the world champion. The veteran highlighted his creativity and the way he was a combination of Dusty and himself.
“Deserving has nothing to do with things, but I really do believe he deserves it, but more so, has earned it,” Dustin Rhodes said. “He’s a great businessman, he has a good mind for creating, kind of like my dad did. I’m the worker of the family, dad was the creator, and I think Cody has a little bit of both. It’s incredible. I’m not the creative type, I can’t be a booker, it’s not me, I won’t do that. That will tear my soul apart.”
Cody Rhodes is set to speak with CM Punk on the January 22 episode of WWE RAW. WrestleZone will have coverage of the show as it airs on Monday.
