In a recent revelation, Cody Rhodes opened up about a harrowing incident that occurred just days before WrestleMania XL.
His tour bus caught fire, but fortunately, no one was injured. Despite the scare, Cody managed to rescue cherished items like a family photo and his WrestleMania shoes.
Speaking on the SI Media Podcast, Cody shed light on the situation, emphasizing the quick action taken by WWE staff.
They swiftly moved The Miz’s bus away to prevent the fire from spreading, demonstrating their concern for everyone’s safety.
“The scariest part for me was when they started backing up the Miz’s bus… I thought, ‘How is this happening a few days before WrestleMania?’ Then the fire department arrived and saved it too. That bus will eventually roll again but it had a big hole in it.” [47:25-47:53]
