JBL would celebrate his birthday by going on a drunken tirade on Twitter. His target was Cody Rhodes. He would initially talk about football and Dallas Cowboys. But he would then tweet ”I’m retired. But Cody Rhodes couldn’t beat me if he tied me to a tree. Neither could his dad.”
He then went on threatening to beat up Rhodes. This was very random and naturally, Cody didn’t expect this either.
Cody on seeing JBL’s tweets would tweet “I’m thinking JBL had a few drinks tonight…”

Later on, after he was sober, he would explain his himself. But it turned out to be only explaining why he drank so much last night. He said he had no intention of “killing” Cody Rhodes, and it was all in good fun.

While he makes sense, it’s hard to understand why the subject suddenly changed to Cody Rhodes instead of it being on the Cowboys’ win.
