During a recent appearance on Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast, Triple H commented on the backlash to Cody Rhodes being removed from the WrestleMania 40 main event and whether he anticipated it. He said,
“I’ll be honest … I did. It wasn’t one of those things were I was like so adamantly — I could see both sides.”
While the WWE CCO admitted that he didn’t want The Rock to get booed, it happened and it led to himself, The Rock and others getting together to come up with ideas for how to proceed.
