People were angry!

Cody Rhodes failing to finish the story at WrestleMania 39 came as a huge surprise.

The majority of fans expected Rhodes to walk out of WrestleMania as Undisputed Champion, but obviously, that never happened.

Discussing the loss on the SI Podcast, the American Nightmare stated that he was told not to go online following his loss:

“I was surprised at how pissed people were. A lot of managerial people in the company reached out to me, checking on me, and also reached out to me to let me know, ‘don’t go online. Don’t go online. I didn’t even think to go. It’s such an incredibly busy week, there are so many emotions in that experience, I have my family with me, I lost in front of them, which is another level of embarrassment. Just the fact that they were preparing me or battening down the hatches. ‘This is shaky, people are really frustrated,’ that surprised me. That surprised me a lot.”

Rhodes is now set to finish his rivalry with Brock Lesnar next weekend at SummerSlam.
