- Cody Rhodes held a mini-Q&A on Twitter over the weekend. 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."
