This past weekend, Cody Rhodes held a mini-Q&A on Twitter and he gave the fans the chance to ask him anything they wanted to ask him. During the session, a fan asked Cody if Vince McMahon unfairly holds back talent that comes up from NXT.
“He doesn’t hold anybody back,” Rhodes replied. “A lot of times it’s hard for fans to accept that some of their favorites have a ways to go or that they become lazy after they get that first LE check. Stardust for example didn’t go beyond tag gold cuz’ I wasn’t improving & I also got outta’ shape.”
Below is the reply sent by Cody Rhodes on the fan’s question:
