Cody Rhodes Thinks Stephanie McMahon Can’t Take Him Seriously After What Happened

The American Nightmare recalled being in Gorilla, watching a heavy-chested female superstar run to the ring on the monitor. The Undisputed WWE Champion jokingly made a sound effect as her chest bounced. Little did he know Stephanie McMahon was right behind him.

Cody Rhodes became aware of The Billion Dollar Princess’ presence when she put her hand on his shoulder. He turned around, and she told him to continue what he was doing. The 40-year-old confessed to being mortified at the moment. Meanwhile, he admitted that he thinks about it whenever he speaks to McMahon ever since.

So, I gotta tell you this Stephanie story. And I only wanted to tell you because I feel like I’ve never gotten it out there. I don’t think her and I have talked about it but it’s one of my favorite moments. And to this day, I’ve never, she’s always had, I mean, she’s Stephanie McMahon, so she already had one on everybody. But I feel like she’s got 20 on me because of this moment.

So, I’m sitting at the monitor with my tag team partner at the time, not aware she was standing behind me. And one of the girls who was heavy-chested runs to the ring and running and I’m watching and I’m going, ‘Dum da dum da dum da dum.’ I’m making this sound, ‘Dum da dum da dum da dum.’ And then I felt her, like, hand and I went like that and I saw her. And this is my boss. Even she wasn’t my boss, she is my boss. And she just goes, ‘Keep going. Go. Cool.’ And I thought, like, I was mortified. Ever since that, that’s all I ever think about when we’re talking. It’s like, ‘This woman can’t take me seriously. She can’t.’ [1:16:48 – 1:17:47]
