Cody Rhodes Says He Had Unreported Backstage Outburst Over In-Ring Profanity at WrestleMania 42

Cody Rhodes said he felt proud of how he managed the buildup to his match at WrestleMania 42. He also disclosed an unreported backstage outburst that occurred during that period. The outburst stemmed from an F-bomb dropped in the ring, Rhodes stated.

He noted that WWE shows receive blackouts when profanity appears, which interrupts the feed for viewers in the United States and leaves children in the audience exposed to the language. "It was probably the proudest I've ever been of how I dealt with anything," Rhodes said.

"You're dealing with a lot of big names and, potentially, a lot of big egos, and I wanted to do right by the people who raised me in the business.

In retrospect, I had a bit of an outburst backstage, which, shockingly, didn't get reported, because it seems like everything gets reported. I think it was over an F-bomb being dropped in the ring, because there's really no room for those on our show. We get blacked out.

Not only do you think you're saying something cool, but they black the feed out in the States, so people are missing part of the show, and we've got kiddos in the crowd.
