Cody Rhodes says that he’d like to see a WWE event take place on a decommissioned aircraft carrier. The Undisputed WWE Champion was asked by TMZ recently about a “wild card” location he would want to see a WWE event take place, similar to the UFC holding a show on the White House lawn. Rhodes mentioned the aircraft carrier idea as a callback to Lex Luger’s famous bodyslam of Yokozuna on board the UUS Intrepid in 1993.

Rhodes also weighed in whether Danhausen is really responsible for the New York Knicks’ success and more. You can see highlights below:

On If Danhausen Is Responsible For the Knicks’ Success:

“I mean, right now they’re on a hot, hot winning streak and he’s — I’d say so. I’d say so. Also, they have a great team… I think there’s geniune good synergy. I think New York’s waited long enough for it, and the whole world is kind of behind them on it. WWE is a fan, that’s for sure. And Danhausen, if that counts.”

On What Wild Card Location He Wants a WWE Show At:

“Ooh. I would like to do a decommissioned — what do we call them, where we put the plans on it. It’s eluding me. Luger did the slam on Yokozuna on the Intrepid. Basically, a decommissioned battleship, you know what I’m saying?… I hope so, that’d be really cool. Unique locations are always fun because then you can play them in the game.”
