Sources indicate that Cody Rhodes was told from members of creative to go to the ring and shoot from the hip regarding Pat McAfee and TKO.

🚨| Per PWInsider, Cody Rhodes’ promo responding to Pat McAfee’ attack was not listed internally on the planned rundown for SmackDown. There is internal belief that some of Rhodes’ comments may have been him shooting on TKO Group Holdings for inserting McAfee into the storyline.

@Thecoachrules @TheCoachandBro @SIRIUSXM @PatMcAfeeShow Shut up coach, we don’t care what you have to say….

EMERGENCY REACTION to Smackdown. -The reason WWE/TKO pivoted -why the messaging was EXACTLY what I talked about on @TheCoachandBro show and Off the Ropes @SIRIUSXM Channel 156 -why @PatMcAfeeShow tagged us and Cody Rhodes (who I respect both immensely) mentioned us in his emotional promo later on the show. Agree or disagree. Let me know in the comments. @THEVinceRusso @btt_tommyc @GabLaSpisa @MP2310 @producer_man @VSIdocsports @DirtsheetDanBTT

@JakeCan72 It’s for sobering up; customers used to order it after drinks - that’s why it’s on the menu. Not just a (I’ll have the 5 slaps and a cheeseburger”

A Japanese restaurant put “face slap” on the menu. 500 yen per slap. Up to five. Extra 100 yen to pick your server. It started free. Demand forced them to charge. Onlookers cheered. Women requested multiple rounds. The owner noticed. So he flipped it: female customers could pay to do the slapping. American spas charge $200 for a sound bath. Japan charged $3.50 to hit you. Both call it stress relief. One of them has a waitlist.

@lovxtwd The episode that killed the show…

10 years ago today, one of the greatest the walking dead moments ever

@WrestlePurists Fans were too deflated, Cody sucks

“What are you gonna do? Fire me? It sure worked out for you the last time.” - Cody Rhodes #SmackDown

@Popplayzz1 …. Well, he could grow some balls, and not pretend “that was the plan all along” when shit goes south and somehow they turn it around after fans backlash

I kind feel for Triple H with him getting all this hate. Triple H is being forced by TKO to include all these celebrities in the name of “selling tickets”. He can’t do anything but implement these requests from Ari Emanuel cause he’s the owner of the company. Everything from returning to Las Vegas for Mania , High Ticket prices and inclusion of Celebrities ( except few ) are all TKO’s decision. And Triple H gets all the hate for it. I know that 2022-2024 booker is still inside him.

@WrestleOps Oh come on!! WE ARE NOT THAT STUPID!! …they saw/heard the backlash, they made Cody do a promo to “fix it” and make it seem like a “shoot” taking shots at TKO for Cody to redeem himself as a “face” Oh after they somehow “fix it” they’ll lie again, say: “this was always plan”

Cody Rhodes promo responding to Randy Orton and Pat McAfee’s attack earlier in the night was not listed internally on the planned rundown for the show. There is a belief that some of Rhodes' comments were him shooting about TKO having inserted McAfee into the story. (via PWlnsider)

@EliteClubS0B We want Vince back — IT IS THAT BAD!!! Selling the company was a smart move to show that only he knows what he’s doing. It’s that awful

🚨| Per BodySlam+, The decision to insert Pat McAfee into the Cody Rhodes & Randy Orton feud was made directly by Ari Emanuel and TKO executives. TKO believes McAfee is a star and is convinced that big names will draw more viewers and sell more tickets for WrestleMania 42.

@DanielGilr44222 wow! something from the 96-100 years ago is not acceptable in 2026?! Oh no! Don’t compare the past with today’s standards It was a completely normal at the time - Was it right? FUCK NO If they had videos of 1600-1800 you’d guys would be sick from the shit that was happening

"Welcome to Hollywood. Shirley Temple was one of many child stars who became a victim of p€dophilia within the entertainment industry. The three videos linked below reveal the disturbing reality of what has been happening for decades."🤬

@EliteClubS0B Look at all those goons with that paint the back, no aura at all, they just look confused and dumbfounded - so hilariously sad Especially JC ; dude has no idea where he is and what to do

Solo Sikoa: Why did you give that lantern back? Tama Tonga: I had to. That stupid lantern was tearing us apart. Let’s get back to real business, taking over SmackDown. Taking all the titles. SOLO SIKOA IS EYEING TAMA TONGA 👀 #SmackDown

@Graannt This guy just yells, and angry all the time, and so pessimistic that I can’t even listen to him whine… With that said, he’s right - that shit terrible!!! Fuck Cody and fuck HHH and FUCK TKO
