Rhodes is now the longest-reigning champion in WWE following his victory over Solo Sikoa in Saturday's main event - which also featured the return of old rival Roman Reigns - but he has admitted he longs to see 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin make another return to the company.
Austin made a main event comeback at WrestleMania 38 to defeat Kevin Owens, but talking in an interview with Gabby LaSpisa, the American Nightmare said he'd be all for seeing more from the WWE Hall of Famer.
“Steve Austin is, from a dollars and cents standpoint, the most profitable wrestler ever," Rhodes said.
"From guys who like and study the business of it, that’s the benchmark and where you want to get. In addition to being all that, more memories than anyone could possibly provide.
"WWE at the time needed, WWE doesn’t need things that often, at that time they needed Stone Cold Steve Austin, and he pulled [WWE] out of the spot it was in and made everybody rich and brought a whole new flavor to the industry.
"I’d love to see him in any capacity. He over-delivered with Kevin Owens. If that was the end, that’s a great end. Kevin Owens did an incredible job there too.
"I feel like he hasn’t punched his legends card enough. He could just come in and tag with somebody. I know he probably wants it to be at the highest of levels, but you’re a legend, you can do whatever you want.”
