During the scrum, Cody said that Triple H, Bruce Prichard, and Nick Khan gifted him a watch that used to belong to his father, the late great Dusty Rhodes. Cody revealed that the watch was the same one that Dusty pawned back in the day so he could go to acting school, adding that the level of responsibility the company just placed in him is not only huge, but very real.
