Former WWE head writer Vince Russo didn’t hold back in his critique of Cody Rhodes’ recent RAW promo.
The American Nightmare stirred controversy by addressing The Rock, branding him an “a**hole” and a “whiny bit*h,” diverting attention away from his upcoming match against Roman Reigns.
During this week’s Legion of RAW, Russo expressed his dismay over Rhodes’ promo strategy.
He pointed out that Rhodes barely mentioned his WrestleMania showdown with Reigns, instead focusing predominantly on The Rock.
Russo highlighted the importance of Rhodes not losing sight of the championship match he had waited a year for.
“Who are you wrestling at WrestleMania? The Rock or Roman Reigns?”
Russo questioned, emphasizing that Rhodes seemed to have fallen prey to The Rock’s mind games.
Furthermore, Russo emphasized the significance of Rhodes redirecting his focus back to Reigns.
“You’ve forgotten all about Roman Reigns,”
Russo remarked, stressing the need for Rhodes to center his attention on the imminent title match.
In response to the criticism, Cody Rhodes struck a deal with Paul Heyman, setting the stage for an anticipated confrontation on Friday’s SmackDown.
The 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble winner is slated to appear alone, ready to square off against Reigns and his Special Counsel.
With tensions simmering between Rhodes and Reigns, their upcoming face-to-face encounter promises to be a pivotal moment ahead of their highly anticipated title match at WrestleMania.
As the countdown to The Show of Shows continues, all eyes will be on these two formidable stars as they clash in a battle for supremacy on the grandest stage of them all.
