The American Nightmare responded, “Great question, I know as far as the news is concerned we were finding it out and reading the same thing that you guys were reading and he said a dark cloud certainly.” 


He further expressed, “As far as TKO, Nick Khan & the board, clearly took it very seriously, acted immediately & looking at the future, you know I don’t know the answer to that and I think somewhere is really probably a basic tenant of just.” 

He added, “This crew more than ever from a roster standpoint is very family, never seen anything like this, most of the time wrestling locker rooms are fighting talking trash, making fun of each other, and sandbagging each other in the ring & all that nonsense.”

“This crew is very team-based and perhaps that’s the ingredient is everyone looking out for everyone — obviously as more news comes out we’ll be seeing it just like you do,” Rhodes concluded.

Triple H’s response to Vince McMahon’s reaction to the lawsuit 

When the former WWE chief of creatives and son-in-law of Vince McMahon, Triple H came to talk, he was presented with the same question about Vince McMahon’s lawsuit.

Triple H responded, “I think Cody mentioned it, that we all found out real-time when you were, and that’s the truth. I’ll go back to what I said before."

“This is an amazing week for us. I just, at this point, I don’t even want to get bogged down in the negatives of it. I just want to focus on the positives and where we’re going, and we’re at the most exciting time of the year for us, we’re at the most exciting point, to me, business-wise I think that we’ve ever had,” he further expressed. 






Fans are now expressing their opinions and comparing statements given by both Cody Rhodes and Triple H. It seems like fans are not happy with The Games’ response.

A Twitter user by the name of Cris expressed, “Everyone will say “What else could’ve Triple H said, go look at Cody’s response. Better than “I didn’t read it, idk, we made lots of money”
