Cody Rhodes Names Seth Rollins As 2023 WWE MVP
Cody Rhodes has high praise for Seth Rollins.
Earlier this month, Shawn Michaels named Dominik Mysterio as the WWE MVP of 2023, noting Dominik’s work across all three brands.
Appearing on The Michael Kay Show, Cody Rhodes, who has worked with Dominik at various points in 2023, was asked about Michaels’ comments and if he agreed.
“That’s loaded because Dom is a prickly individual. If I was looking at it from tickets sold, merch sold, excitement over matches, achievement in body of work, I’d say your MVP is, I’m not going to say myself, somebody else will hopefully say me, but I’d say Seth Rollins is somebody who is more the MVP. Who am I to go against what Shawn Michaels said, though? If Shawn Michaels sees something in Dominik Mysterio, that’s huge because he’s not one that often will make that claim. Dom, as difficult as he is to get along with, he is incredibly linked to the audience. Dom Mysterio walks out now, he puts the mic to his lips, and you can’t hear a word he’s saying because they boo him out of the building. I have a sense that Dom will be getting that same reaction two or three years from now, but they won’t be boos, they’ll be cheers. There is something incredibly special about the young man, and I’m sorry I’ve had to beat him so many times. I look forward to what he does. He comes from good stock, obviously, and his future is perhaps brighter than anybody,” said Cody.
Cody worked with Rollins upon returning to WWE at WrestleMania 38.
Rollins is the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion and set to address Drew McIntyre on Monday’s WWE Raw.
