Cody Rhodes says he doesn’t know enough about Vince McMahon allegations to comment
Cody Rhodes commented on the Vince McMahon allegations and the upcoming docuseries focused on him.
During the WWE Bash in Berlin press conference Saturday afternoon, a reporter asked about whether Rhodes personally believed Janel Grant’s allegations against McMahon, noting the locker room was “awfully silent” about the allegations, and if he was going to watch the upcoming McMahon docuseries on Netflix.
“In terms of if I’m going to watch it, not to sound cheeky by any means, I am deep in a Game of Thrones rewatch and that is a hell of a lot of commitment. I think there’s a bit of misinformation in terms of WWE has no involvement in this documentary as far as I know. I imagine I would get around to seeing it,” Rhodes said.
Regarding the locker room being quiet about the allegations, Rhodes said it was a matter of focusing on what they do in the ring:
In terms of the more serious meat in your question in terms of the locker room being quiet or silent, whatever it may be, I don’t think that is a matter of belief versus nonbelief, I think its strictly speaking…we want to be doing what we were doing out there and the focus and the attention that it takes, you know, 13,149 people to have a great story and have a great match and do that every single night has left most of us where we’re finding the information out just as you are and that includes the resolution of this information in terms of what happened, how it happened, and how justice comes about, whatever it may be. But I wouldn’t look at it as an active attempt from the locker room to be silent in any attempt, we’re just are doing what we do day-to-day WWE business.
Rhodes was asked again by another reporter if he believed Janel Grant.
“Again, I don’t know enough about the information to give you a good enough answer there. I’m sorry,” he said.
Grant filed the lawsuit in January, accusing McMahon of sexual assault and sex trafficking. The suit is currently on pause through December as the Justice Department continues its investigation against McMahon.
