I built my own legacy. ζ NOT @CodyRhodes.

I love nothing more than professional wrestling.

But, with one simple stupid decision, you changed all of that. I’ve realized that you’re not the captain, you’re not the quarterback, you’re still just a kid in a man’s world, who doesn’t have the balls of the last real champion. Your story’s over, kid.

You will lose, because you care about each and every single one of them. You people do not write history, winners do. After I successfully won the elimination chamber, I looked at you as an impossible obstacle. One I thought I had to dig deep on. #Smackdown

You had to leave, you had to leave, because at your very best, you still couldn’t wipe my ass. I make empires for billionaires, all you ever done is blindly steal money from their kids just because you thought you could. I’ll see you at WrestleMania, ‘champ.’

All you’ve ever done is nothing but manipulate yourself to the very top of this industry, not because you’re good, but because you have sat by my side for years, and have stolen every secret you needed to be undeniable, but yet you’re still so painfully underwhelming.

. . .

But I didn’t waste my time being mean like all of you, no, I paid close attention. And in doing so, you have told me every single thing about you. The truth is, you all know nothing about me. I know more about you than you. And the truth is, your life is pathetic.

♥️

Thank you #WWENotingham.

Beyond thankful for the unconditional shower of love that was bestowed upon me. While flowers are being given, nobody deserves their flowers more than my friend Cody. After all, this is his house. I’m just proudly along for the ride.

Another day in the office doesn't mean we can't have our fun. Every single last fricking beautiful maniac in #WWENotingham made sure their voice was heard. On me and @DreamedItFirst's behalf, thank you for the house.

I’m going to teach you a valuable lesson and it’s going to be in the harshest way possible.

Right now these people might like you. They might respect you and appreciate you. But what happens when that all changes? You’ve got a lot to learn, kid. Maybe instead of giving advice. It’s time you took it.
