Cody Rhodes discusses a reaction from Triple H regarding a writer that rubbed Rhodes the wrong way.
Speaking to Sam Roberts in a Q&A following a private premiere of Cody’s recently released documentary, Roberts asked about a moment in the doc where Cody expresses his frustration at a writer fake typing during his first run with WWE.
“That guy is still a writer here, and I have a great relationship with him. I think he doesn’t know it’s about him. I’m also like, ‘How do you not know? You were fake typing.’ I think a lot of wrestlers or superstars all feel, sometimes, helpless. ‘We’re bound to the creative, we’re bound to this writer.’ To a degree, there is a structure that you are part of, but we’re not helpless. I felt helpless and realized, I’m gonna have to get over that. I’m going to have to stop complaining and actually do something. I just didn’t want the thing I did to be outside. I didn’t want to leave. I didn’t want to be that. Being that and getting outside was the only way. It was the cage that needed to be rattled. There is a part that’s not in there, Hunter [Triple H] also told me that when I said I want to punch that writer in the face, he said, ‘Well, you should.’ There was a moment of thinking about, ‘I’m going to go do it.’ I’d be walking so slow, ‘does he know I’m going to punch him in the face.’ We weren’t fighting in the moment. They took that part out. Big HR problem,”

Rhodes is scheduled to compete at this Saturday’s SummerSlam event where he will complete his trilogy with Brock Lesnar.
We will have to wait and see if Cody can end this chapter of his career with a win.
