At AEW Double or Nothing 2019, Cody Rhodes smashed a throne that looked very similar to the throne used by Triple H in WWE.
Rhodes has always mentioned the respect he's had for Triple H throughout his career and the two now work closely together with Triple H leading creative in WWE and Rhodes set to headline WrestleMania 39.
Speaking to Jimmy Traina on the SI Media Podcast, Cody was asked if he's had a conversation with Triple H about the broken throne.
"It's not mentioned. I'd love it to be mentioned eventually because I still have my broken throne at the Nightmare Factory. I was in the warehouse the other day with WWE, and there is the 'throne' throne. Mine is a replica. There is some imagery, some iconography that could be utilized for a show potentially. I'd love for it to eventually be talked about. One thing that was really nice, a conversation that him and I did have, and I didn't share this until recently, was when I won the Ring of Honor World Championship, I hadn't spoken to [Triple H] since I left, and I just got a one word text from him that said 'congrats.' This is a Ring of Honor show, ends at 1 AM, essentially. Working here, there are a bazillion shows and things you're doing. I was glad, I found out later, he watched every bit of it. He kept tabs on me. He has his finger on the pulse of what the young fans and the young roster is in to," said Cody.
The smashed throne was referenced on television by Seth Rollins during his feud with Cody.
While making the media rounds during the week, Rhodes mentioned that he nearly got into a backstage fight with Rollins. You can find his comments on the incident by clicking here.
