During the latest edition of his “What Do You Wanna’ Talk About?” podcast, WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes revealed that he and Seth Rollins stepped up to produce a WWE live event when the other producers couldn’t make it due to a snowstorm.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On dealing with a snowstorm in Omaha: “We had a situation where we needed to get to Omaha or get out of Omaha, and I thought I would be a big baller and save the day. There were no commercial flights going. I got the crew a jet and we were heading to El Paso. That was the trouble. We needed to get to El Paso from Nebraska in the middle of a snowstorm, and the only way we could do it was flying private. Ultimately, WWE stepped in and covered it for me.”
On how he and Seth Rollins produced the event: “We had a show to do. No producers. Me and Seth, we were producers and it was a show that had a commission, so we actually had to do work. It wasn’t, ‘Hey, you’re good, we know your match. Hey, 12 minutes.’ None of that.”
On putting the wrestlers on the private flight instead of the producers: “The best is I didn’t put the producers on the flight. I put the boys on the flight. We have to do the show. Love (the producers), but we had to do the show. Seth is doing it and doing an incredible job. Obviously, that’s in his future. I’m sure the world can figure that out.”
