Booker T Discusses Cody Rhodes Winning King Of The Ring

On the latest episode of the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T talked about Cody Rhodes winning the 2025 King of the Ring tournament and more.  You can check out some highlights below:

On Rhodes’ win: “It’s a great honor. It’s a great honor for Cody to be among the greats, the great kings who’ve sat on the throne. Yes, it really is. I want to see where Cody takes it. That’s what I want to see more than anything. We’ve seen guys like Xavier become king. His king run was — quite entertaining, let’s just say that. We’ve seen Gunther… King Barrett, King Regal, King Sheamus.”

On seeing how Cody takes the role: “I want to see how Cody approaches this role. Because it’s a very, very delicate, very delicate role. It’s a balancing act to be able to go out there and be king and rule with an iron fist, and still give the people something more than just that. It’s a very, very hard balancing act. So I want to see how well Cody goes out there and plays this role. Is he gonna wear the crown? Is he gonna wear the crown proudly, like I did? That’s what I want to see. I want to see how this thing plays out.”
