Cody Rhodes cut a promo and became emotional during the March 11th, 2024 edition of WWE RAW, discussing potentially winning the Undisputed WWE Universal title from Roman Reigns. Cody stated, โ€œMy mother. She is the only one I got left. And I canโ€™t hand it to Dusty Rhodes, but I certainly can hand it to Michelle Rubio.โ€

While appearing on Busted Open Radio, former WWE writer Vince Russo commented on Cody. Russo said, โ€œCody, get therapy, man. Every freaking week, this guy is going out, cutting promos, he canโ€™t get through a promo without crying. Casual wrestling fans, we donโ€™t want to see wrestlers cry, bro. We want to see menโ€™s men, we want to see wrestlers, we want to see testosterone, bro. We donโ€™t want to see namby-pamby crybabies.โ€

โ€œHow anybody can be a fan of this guy as a babyface, bro, crying over a prop โ€ฆ Bro, heโ€™s got himself convinced that heโ€™s going to really win a match and have a real title and, โ€˜Iโ€™m gonna give this title to my mom and my dad, even though heโ€™s not here, he is gonna be proud.’โ€
