Top 5 social media moments of the week: WWE stars leaving?, Cody shoots on Stardust, and more

#4 Cody Rhodes shoots on Stardust

Cody Rhodes is gearing up for this weekend's big All Out PPV, which is All Elite Wrestling's highly-anticipated follow-up to last year's All In PPV.

But before Cody steps into the ring this weekend to face Shawn Spears, another former WWE star, he took to Twitter to address a fan comment relating to Stardust, a polarizing character Rhodes played during his time in WWE.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

When a fan on Twitter pondered why Vince McMahon did not understand that Stardust was a bad gimmick idea, Cody was quick to point out that he blamed himself for the failure of the character, not Vince.

"I don’t really blame him more than I blame myself. I worked hard, but at the time...not hard enough. To go from undesirable to undeniable took a lot sacrifices, reality checks, & most importantly I had to do the damn work. I don’t want to be anything less than the guy at the top."
