Cody Rhodes went on to use Matt Cardona as an example for someone who has surprised him following their WWE release. He expressed his belief that Wyatt could do the same thing, as his passion makes him a desirable free agent for any company.

"I can't comment on if he fits in with us, but I can say if he has an ounce of passion for this, that guy can fit in anywhere because he's a very special talent, so that's really all I could say there," Rhodes added.
