Major Star Admits WWE Schedule Is ‘Daunting’

WWE

Raw star Cody Rhodes has now shared his honest thoughts on WWE’s schedule, admitting that the calendar can be daunting.

Between Raw, SmackDown, Main Event, the NXT shows and house shows, there are numerous events every week for wrestlers to connect with their fans.

With so many shows however, WWE stars will be on the road a lot to honor their busy schedules.

Speaking on ESPN Radio, Cody Rhodes admitted that the schedule is tough, but ultimately worth it.

Happy to help raise the company to another level, Rhodes said:

“The schedule can be very daunting. It’s a gig that you have to really, really love and your family too.

“You, if you’re someone who has a family like myself, my wife, and my daughter, that love has to, everyone has to know about passion and sacrifice.

“I am very lucky in the sense that I have my own tour bus, and that’s where I’m comfortable right now.

“I am very lucky because after ten years of driving all over the roads with four wrestlers in a car, screaming at each other, trying to get food at two in the morning, I’m, I’m, I’m very lucky that I’m in this position.

“It’s tough, but I’ll say this: the tradeoff for what we do is so worth it. You know, WWE every city lately is, and one out after another, and there’s been this really special thing that’s happening with our product, which is always popular, but right now it’s even on a different level.

“So that’s the trade-off. Tonight. I could be as tired and grumpy as possible. The body may be a little banged up. Brock Lesnar threw me all around last week.

“But still, like, you walk out in front of these, these, these crowds, and you can’t just be rejuvenated. It’s amazing.

“So for me, it’s a great trade and you’re part of royalty because your dad is the legendary dog.”

Rhodes’ most recent televised match saw him defeat Dominik Mysterio at Money in the Bank 2023.

The American Nightmare has now issued a challenge to Brock Lesnar for SummerSlam, which you can read more about right here.
