Matthew McConaughey Didn't Think Cody Rhodes Was Going To Come Back When Brock Lesnar Beat Him Up

Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey had his doubts about Cody Rhodes.

Speaking on the September 13 edition of WWE's The Bump, McConaughey was asked about watching WWE, and he recalled how he tuned in the other day. He was seemingly referring to WWE SummerSlam as he referenced the match between Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar. The renowned actor admitted that he didn't think Rhodes was going to come back from the beating the former WWE Champion gave him.

“My son and I were just watching the other day. We caught the Cody Rhodes, Brock Lesnar [match], we caught the Roman Reigns family saga that he’s got going. I did not think Rhodes was gonna come back after the beating he took [from Brock]," McConaughey said.

Rhodes' win was just a chapter of his story. However, McConaughey has finished another story, as his new book, "Just Because", is now available.

McConaughey has appeared in numerous films over the years, including "Dallas Buyers Club". He has also drawn plenty of praise for his performance in the "True Detective" series.

During the interview, McConaughey also met WWE Hall of Famer "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, and he couldn't contain his excitement. More information is available here.
