WWE Star Calls Cody Rhodes Out For Being A “Fake Politician”

Cody Rhodes’ name has often been affiliated with politics, and he has been predicted to be someone who has “politician” energy. 

The American Nightmare was once at the center of a controversy. Back on January 6th, 2020, he had put up a gif on his social media which said “January 6th, Bring it”. It was on the same day when over 1000 people stormed the Capitol Building after Donald Trump lost the Presidential elections.

Fans commented that Rhodes was a Republican and was in favour of the mob storming the building. However, he clarified it had to do with Go-Big Show’s second-season debut.

Drew McIntyre termed Cody Rhodes a fake politician

The Scotsman sat for an interview with SunSport. In that, he spoke about what he brings to the table as a champion and called out Cody Rhodes on his moniker.

Only nickname I need is ‘champ’ and only thing I’ll be bringing is unpredictability. Cody was pretty predictable. I don’t necessarily like the way he went about things, I don’t like the fake politician he was. But in the ring – absolutely unbelievable. He’s as good as he says he is. Literally the best in the world at times.

Drew McIntyre dethroned Cody Rhodes on the January 9th, 2026 episode of WWE SmackDown.
