WWE CCO Triple H had massive praise for Cody Rhodes after SummerSlam 2025

On the post-show at SummerSlam 2025, Triple H heaped big praise on the company's top champion Cody Rhodes following his win over John Cena. Here's what he said about The American Nightmare:

“He has a lot of other things going on, but he’s of the commitment level that he will do anything, and he will do what is right every single time for business. He follows the John Cena model. So for me, from a different point of view from just a fan, watching them tonight. I consider John the greatest of all time for a lot of different reasons, not just as a performer. Cody is following that model. And it’s like watching the greatest of all time facing a guy who was on his way to being the greatest of all time. And that’s something special.” (H/T 411Mania)
