With Cody Rhodes recently praising Triple H's booking, claiming nobody could do a better job with WWE creative, a certain Monster Amongst Men has taken a cheeky swipe or two at that claim.

The American Nightmare was speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show yesterday, where he said that nobody has as hard a job as Triple H right now, that no booker in the history of the industry has been constantly liked, and that nobody can do that job better than the King of Kings can.

In response to Cody, Adam Scherr - the former Braun Strowman - has put out a few X posts, first saying that "ratings say otherwise lol," promoting his Everything on the Menu show that airs directly after SmackDown, and, when it was pointed out that the ongoing World Cup could be having an impact on ratings, he detailed how that "wasn't a problem for my show lol."

Make sure you tune into a new episode of the best show on cable. My show Everything On The Menu. Fridays only on @USANetwork— The Monster of all Monsters (@Adamscherr99) June 24, 2026

This has led to various responses to Scherr, some praising him, some pointing out some not-so-favourable ratings numbers for Everything on the Menu, and some crediting SmackDown as providing a solid lead-in to Everything on the Menu.

The former Braun Strowman finished his second run with WWE shortly after WrestleMania 41, with his final match taking place on the SmackDown go-home to 'Mania 41, where he teamed up with LA Knight to pick up a win over Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa. Since then, the 42-year-old powerhouse has yet to step foot in a pro wrestling ring, and has instead been focussing on his Everything on the Menu food show, which is now in its second season.
