5 dream cross-promotional opponents for Triple H

#3. Cody Rhodes idolizes Triple H

At AEW's first big event, Double or Nothing, Cody Rhodes appeared to fire shots at Triple H when he smashed a throne with a sledgehammer, The Game's signature weapon. It's easy to construe that this was a reference to the Hall of Famer, who calls himself "The King of Kings" and uses a throne for his grand entrances.

Rhodes later admitted that he looked up to Triple H, calling the WWE COO his favorite wrestler during an interview with Inside The Ropes.

"Triple H is probably my favourite wrestler and was a role model. I only watched from a distance, but he reminded me a lot of my dad in the sense that I watched him do all the work, be this executive, and then go out there. He really was a model in terms of, “OK, you can do both, but you have to be really disciplined. You have to take it really seriously," said Cody Rhodes.

Rhodes has already laid the groundwork for this dream match and will undoubtedly have a number of creative ideas ready to make it work. Some members of DX and The Nightmare Family could even get involved to make the feud a bigger spectacle.
