WWE's Cody Rhodes on WrestleMania, Pat McAfee, Politics & More

Episode 604 of “SI Media With Jimmy Traina” features a conversation with WWE Undisputed Champion, Cody Rhodes. Rhodes talks about his upcoming WrestleMania 42 match against Randy Orton and all of the controversy surrounding it thanks to the insertion of Pat McAfee by TKO into the storyline. Rhodes expresses his shock that McAfee made the WrestleMania billboard while also discussing whether the negative reaction to the storyline could end up being good for business. Rhodes also talks about his love-hate relationship with hosting a podcast, possibly getting into politics once he retires from wrestling, what it’s like to scroll through Instagram Reels and see videos of himself and his father, Dusty Rhodes, what old-school wrestling thing he’d like to see come back today, how he goes into shutdown mode during WrestleMania week, his daily coffee intake (which is shocking), how much his suits cost, warming up to a heel turn and much more.
