Cody Rhodes was told to stay off the internet after his WrestleMania 39 loss to Roman Reigns.
When Rhodes came up short at WrestleMania, many fans were upset by the decision to have Cody lose, as many wanted to see him “finish the story” at the event and become champion.
Speaking to Jimmy Traina on the SI Media podcast, Cody addressed the fan reaction to his loss at the event.
“I was surprised at how pissed people were. A lot of managerial people in the company reached out to me, checking on me, and also reached out to me to let me know, ‘don’t go online. Don’t go online.’ I didn’t even think to go. It’s such an incredibly busy week, there are so many emotions in that experience, I have my family with me, I lost in front of them, which is another level of embarrassment. I didn’t even think to go online. Just the fact that they were preparing me or battening down the hatches. ‘This is shaky, people are really frustrated,’ that surprised me. That surprised me a lot,”

Rhodes is currently scheduled to face off with Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam at the beginning of next month in the final match of their trilogy.
