One Side: Backstage Explanation On Cody Rhodes Promo, Why He Said Certain Things

He said something. Top wrestling stars are often the ones with the best speaking abilities. Wrestlers being able to talk and connect with an audience will get more attention and often more support from the fans. This makes their interviews that much more important, especially if there is a big message to be sent. That was the situation earlier this week and now we know the real motive.

This week on Monday Night Raw, WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes mentioned that he was a SmackDown wrestler before offering to help Jey Uso in his match later that night. Uso politely declined, with Rhodes saying “until we yeet again” to wrap up the segment. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the point of the promo was for Rhodes to make it clear that he will not be on Monday Night Raw as often going forward as he is a member of the SmackDown roster. It also allowed him to endorse Uso on the way out. Rhodes has appeared on both Monday Night Raw and SmackDown since WrestleMania 40.

He had a talk. Check out the promo, plus Rhodes on both shows:

Opinion: That makes sense as WrestleMania season is over and it is time to get things back to normal. Rhodes is going to be the biggest star anywhere he goes and it would not make sense for him to take the spotlight away from Damian Priest and everyone else on Monday Night Raw. Let things settle down a bit and we can get things closer to normal for the first time in a good while.
