At one point during their heated feud leading into WrestleMania 40, Cody Rhodes took his promos up a notch with some non-PG language.
In one of his final promos on The Bloodline heading into WrestleMania 40, Rhodes called The Rock an “assh*le” and referred to his “LDS” – “little d*ck syndrome.”
Speaking on a recent edition of the “SI Media with Jimmy Traina” podcast, the American Nightmare commented on holding back on any risque content in his promos until then, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On holding back on any risque content in his promos until then: “I think I said earlier how much respect I have for The Rock. It gets to a point, though, where you can’t have so much respect that you put your hands down. And I had been really diplomatic. … It wasn’t so much that it wasn’t working with the fans. I don’t think it was resonating with him.”
On the promo itself: “I wanted to just speak his language. He came from that era of that cutthroat, crash TV. He’s been in every era, but I wanted to just speak his language and let him know someone — if not a few people — on this current roster can speak your language, if you’d like.”
