10 Fascinating Facts About WWE In 2016
1. He Also Told Cody Rhodes To Punch A Writer!
Nothing else from 2016 tops this.
Cody Rhodes cut a frustrated figure in 2016. He explained on WWE's 'American Nightmare' documentary in 2023 that a writer fake-typed on a laptop instead of speaking to him backstage, and that almost led to a Stardust-shaped meltdown. Cody went off to rant and rave to others behind the curtain.
When Rhodes vented to Triple H and said he felt like punching the creative team member, Hunter told him he should. There's no chance 'The Game' would offer that sort of advice to a WWE talent now he's calling the shots. Rhodes thought about assaulting the writer, but would leave the company instead.
For the record, he's good friends with that same creative team member today. They've managed to put all of this drama behind them. The writer didn't even know back in 2016 that Cody was so mad, or that Triple H (of all people) had egged him on to throw a punch.
