Burned a bridge & can’t go back: Cody Rhodes on destroying Triple H’s throne

On Saturday’s night’s Double or Nothing event, Cody Rhodes sent a strong message to Triple H and WWE.

 


 

During Cody’s entrance, a throne was present on the stage that looked eerily similar to Triple H’s.

Cody made his way through the ramp with his wife Brandi Rhodes, who took out a sledgehammer from underneath the ring and handed it to Cody.

We all knew where this was going. Cody went back to the stage right next to the throne and smashed it with the hammer.

This move made waves in the wrestling world and Cody addressed it during the press conference following the show. (h/t ProWrestling.com)

Cody says he had a dream about an entrance like this and even though they don’t want to use the word “competition” but they want to play ball.

“I had a literal dream about this type of entrance. I loved when Triple H came out at WrestleMania and was kind of like Shao Kahn. It was really cool. The throne kind of symbolized his reign. I want to play ball! I know we don’t say ‘competition’ but it stands for itself… I also want people to know this role, this EVP role which I love, and I’m excited about, but I’m a wrestler first. We were able to do that tonight.”

He also touched on the topic of if Double or Nothing was a step up than ALL IN.

“It had to be a step up from ALL IN. It had to be. Everything has to be a step up. We put our names on this. I burned a bridge tonight, and I can’t go back. I’m fine with that. I want us to play. I thought the whole show needed to be a step up from ALL IN. To be more specific, Matt and Nick got screwed at ALL IN. They weren’t able to have the match they wanted to have, so tonight they were able to show the world their idea of tag team wrestling, and it’s absolute fire. Chris is just such a legend. I got to design that entrance, and I don’t know if it came off as – I thought it was pretty cool. It had to be better than ALL IN, and I’ll tell you the truth, the next time has to be better than this. That’s a tough ask.”
