Cody Rhodes comments on the upcoming Vince McMahon documentary on Netflix and the allegations brought against McMahon by Janel Grant.
As WWE continues to move on in the post-Vince McMahon era, a new documentary about McMahon will be released on Netflix on September 25, 2024. The documentary is said to cover McMahon's "rise and fall."
During the post-show following WWE Bash in Berlin, current Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes was asked whether he would be watching the documentary. Rhodes stated that he believes he will eventually get around to it and commented on the mindset shared by the locker room members, which is about moving forward and continuing to do what they do best inside the squared circle.
"In terms of, am I going to watch it? Not to sound cheeky by any means. I am deep in a Game of Thrones re-watch. That is a hell of a commitment," said Cody. "I think there is a bit of misinformation in terms of WWE has no involvement in this documentary, as far as I know. I would imagine I would get around to seeing it. In terms of the more serious and the meat of your question, the locker room being quiet or silent. I don’t think that’s a matter of belief versus non-belief. I think, strictly speaking, we want to be doing what we were doing out there. The focus and attention that it takes to have a great story and have a great match, and do that every single night, has left most of us to where we’re finding the information out just as you are.
"That includes the resolution of this information," Cody continued. "In terms of what happened, how it happened, and how justice comes about. Whatever it might be. I wouldn’t look at it as an active attempt from the locker room to be silent. We are just doing what we do day-to-day WWE business."
Cody Rhodes is also asked about the sexual misconduct allegations brought forth against McMahon by Janel Grant. He kept his answer short and stated that he didn't feel he had enough information in order to give a proper answer.
"I don’t know enough about the information to give a good enough answer. I’m sorry," he said.
It was previously reported that neither Janel Grant nor her representatives were interviewed for the documentary.
The multi-part docuseries was announced during the third quarter 2020 WWE financials call.
