WWE/All In News: Cody Rhodes on Zack Ryder's potential; Says he'd be great for All In

What's the story?

With All In shaping up to be one of the biggest nights ever for independent wrestling, it's almost a shame that Superstars from the WWE won't be able to join in the fun and appear on the show. However, the name from WWE that Cody wants most might surprise you!

In case you didn't know...

All In, which is being organised by former WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes and popular tag-team the Young Bucks, is set to take place on September 1st. So far the announced card for the event is as follows

The heart of the matter

I'm sure you'll agree that as far as wrestling cards go, the above one for All In is incredibly stacked. However, the WWE personality that Cody Rhodes would add to it if he could isn't AJ Styles, or Daniel Bryan. No, it's Zack Ryder.

Zack. I know he doesn’t fit the indie model exactly, but at one point that dude was getting his name chanted...in msg...while the great one was in the ring, I think he works too hard to be just a super jacked dude in the background. https://t.co/oqg5ZaEV1R

Cody believes that the WWE aren't utilising Ryder to his full potential and is spot on when it comes to it being no exaggeration over just how popular the Superstar was back in his WWE 'prime'.

What's next?

Zack Ryder may not be on Raw regularly, but he is fairly active within the WWE sphere, he has his unboxing show and he recently tore it up on Main Event against Mike Kanellis in a great, albeit short showcase of how both men are more talented than the WWE Universe gives them credit for.
