Cody Rhodes Reveals the One Guy He Doesn’t Feel Cool Around

Cody Rhodes has shared the ring with legends, headlined major events, and carried WWE’s top championship  yet there’s one colleague who makes him feel like he’s not the coolest guy in the room.

During a recent episode of What Do You Wanna Talk About, Rhodes openly admitted that Dominik Mysterio is “the one guy at work” who gives him that feeling.

The Undisputed WWE Champion explained that whenever he thinks he’s stepped up his style or presence, Dominik somehow raises the bar without even trying.

Whether it’s the way he carries himself or the quiet confidence he brings backstage, Rhodes said Mysterio has a natural edge that stands out.

The remark wasn’t criticism  it was genuine respect from one of the company’s biggest names.

Dominik’s Presence Goes Beyond Flash and Fashion

Rhodes made it clear that what sets Mysterio apart isn’t just appearance. It’s the instinctive understanding of performance that has fueled  rise.

Unlike many wrestlers who spend years perfecting technique before stepping into character work, Dominik developed a sharp sense of crowd connection early in his career.

That ability to draw reactions especially as one of WWE’s most talked-about villains  has accelerated his growth in a way few expected.

Since debuting in 2020, Mysterio has steadily evolved from being known as Rey Mysterio’s son to carving out his own identity. His run with The Judgment Day transformed him into a confident antagonist who thrives on audience hostility.

Rhodes acknowledged that transformation, noting how impressive it is to see someone grasp the entertainment side of wrestling so quickly while continuing to refine their in-ring skills.

The champion’s comments reflect a broader recognition within WWE that Dominik is no longer viewed as a developing prospect but as a key piece of the company’s future.

His ability to command attention, whether through subtle mannerisms or bold character choices, continues to elevate his standing.

For Rhodes to single him out in such an honest way speaks volumes.

In a locker room filled with elite athletes and polished performers, it’s telling that one of WWE’s most established stars sees something rare in Dominik Mysterio a blend of charisma and confidence that even the champion can’t help but admire.
