Cody Rhodes has a big complaint with the entire WWE roster.

The American Nightmare has been leading the locker room for a long time now and is in his third run as the Undisputed Champion in two years. QB1 recently revealed that he is appalled by the behavior of several stars in the company, which he deems disrespectful and unsupportive of the business. Moreover, he also said that indulging in such acts is actively resulting in them not getting many opportunities to get big in WWE.

Cody Rhodes Calls Out the Problematic Behavior of Some WWE Superstars

The American Nightmare had invited Matt Cardona to the latest episode of his What Do You Wanna Talk About podcast. During their discussion, Rhodes mentioned that he doesn’t like that several wrestlers of the current era leave the arenas even before the show is over.

He noted that talent doesn’t just need to do their bit and then depart. Cody Rhodes said that emergencies could happen anytime, and a wrestler could get hurt, and that everyone needs to be available for such situations.

He also said that he especially despises it when the same wrestlers demand why the same selected stars keep getting big premium live opportunities instead of them.

I’m not going to leave at the beginning of the show. The other day, I watched them walk right by me. Where are you going? What if someone gets hurt?”

“That’s the other thing. I’m almost not mad at you for leaving early—you’re blatantly doing it! Bro, bags by Gorilla while the last two matches go in, that’s a classic. I get that. ‘Oh, I’m still here, but I won’t be,’ right? But just right in front of me [they leave]? And then you ask, ‘Why are the same guys on WrestleMania?’ I’ll tell you why. That’s part of it.”

While Cody Rhodes didn’t name anybody, the wrestlers whom he pointed out in this discussion surely got his message. The American Nightmare will face Randy Orton at the upcoming WrestleMania 42 and defend the Undisputed Championship against his former ally.
