Cody Rhodes is currently one of the most prominent figures in the world of WWE. Following his impressive performance at WrestleMania 38, Rhodes has been treated as a very big deal in the company. That being said, it seems Cody Rhodes is jealous of Roman Reigns for a good reason.

The American Nightmare never got the chance to work backstage with his father in NXT. It seems this is still something that stings in his case, all these years later. Dusty Rhodes has been the focal point of Rhodes’ feud with Roman Reigns.

In order to anger Cody Rhodes, Reigns has brought up that he and Dusty worked closely together and has said that Dusty never mentioned his son. While speaking to AP News, Cody Rhodes addressed seeing the effort his father made with the likes of Roman Reigns and others in NXT. Rhodes admitted that he was very jealous of those who got to work with his father.

“When he passed away, “Dusty’s Kids” was something that I heard a lot because his influence and legacy were being spread out. That was a statistic being touted. Bayley, Sasha (Banks), Becky (Lynch), Seth (Rollins), Roman, Sami (Zayn), Kevin (Owens), the core ones, were all doing better than I was. It wasn’t something I could complain about or throw a tantrum over because they were honoring him. It almost felt like they were honoring him more than I was. And there’s jealousy and envy that comes with it. I would have loved to have done a promo class or been around a ring with my father. I got a far different education from him than they did.”
