The former WWE superstar Cody Rhodes was released by WWE at his own request back in May ending his long tenure in the company. Since then Rhodes has been very quiet and hasn’t given any explanation on his decision to leave WWE. Everything changed, when the former Intercontinental champion recently appeared on a straight shoot Podcast, where he talked about his departure and also revealed that WWE revoked his free WWE Network credentials much sooner than he would have expected.
Although the company terminated his WWE network account, he found a way around this by using Cesaro’s login “Of all the other legal things I figured they would hit first, one of the first things they took away was my Network credentials," Rhodes revealed "I’m now stealing Claudio’s [Cesaro] Network credentials. He knows I’m stealing, I’m borrowing, Claudio’s network credentials.”
Just days after Cody Rhodes was released from WWE, the company announced the return of the brand split. Once he heard of the split through walking papers he asked the creative team if there were any plans for him after it went into effect. When he was given a flat-out answer of no, he instantly knew that WWE was no longer the place for him.
It’s interesting to see how WWE will react to Cesaro sharing the password with the former employee. When asked if he has been following wrestling since leaving WWE, Rhodes admitted that he was tempted to lie, but the answer is no, not really.
During the two-hour interview with a comic book writer Aubrey Sitterson, Rhodes also spoke on a number of other topics including why he hates non-wrestlers using insider terms, a writer he disliked pitching a disrespectful storyline to him during The Dusty Classic, WWE calling NXT wrestlers “Dusty’s kids” while he was in the company and much more.
