During a recent interview with Complex, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes commented on his first run in WWE and what type of advice he’d give his younger self.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On what he would tell his younger self: “People ask all the time, what would you tell your younger self? I wouldn’t tell my younger self a damn thing. Make every mistake you can make.”
On understanding why his first WWE run went the way it did: “I learned so much from being a way of what I was just missing, flat out. All the ‘Dusty Kids’ (wrestlers trained in NXT by his father, such as Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Bayley to name a few) that I was jealous of and mad at, well, they were probably better than I was at the time. There were things that I wasn’t doing correctly.”
On changing his physical stature during his time away: “It might feel alpha, it might feel toxic, but wrestling is still a heavyweight industry. When you’re standing across from a Drew McIntyre or a Roman Reigns, and you’re suspending the disbelief of this battle, this contest, being a heavyweight has helped me considerably. At 6 ‘1, to try and stay genuinely around 220 [pounds] is exactly where I need to be and then continue to push it and do it in a healthy way. Now [in WWE] we have access to nutritionists, dietitian … being a heavyweight moving forward, [I’m] putting on that weight safely.”
It appears that Netflix will be airing this Saturday’s WWE Bad Blood pay-per-view event in Brazil.
Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics is reporting that the event is currently listed as airing live in the country. He wrote,
“Verified with a VPN that in Brazil it does appear WWE Bad Blood will air live on Netflix on Saturday.
I tried a few other countries in South America but it didn’t appear when I searched like it did in Brazil.”
As many of you know by now, WWE RAW will be coming to Netflix in January of 2025. WWE pay-per-view events will be airing internationally on the service. In the United States, they will continue airing on Peacock.
