Cody Rhodes was asked about the events surrounding Vince McMahon and the upcoming docuseries.
Following significant hesitancy over whether or not the project would actually go ahead, Netflix finally announced that the Vince McMahon docuseries has been completed and would premiere in late September. Originally designed to focus on a never-before-seen look at McMahon and his impact on the professional wrestling world, the 2024 allegations from former employee Janel Grant that ultimately caused McMahon to resign have made the docuseries a very different project.
At the Bash in Berlin post-show, Rhodes appeared in front of the press and stated that as Triple H was rushing back to the United States as his daughter was starting college imminently, he would be the one to go through the usual business and numbers that the Chief Content Officer normally handled. Beginning by noting that Bash in Berlin set the record for highest grossing WWE arena event in history, Rhodes took questions and was asked about the McMahon docuseries:
“In terms of if I’m going to watch it, not to sound cheeky by any means, I am deep in a Game of Thrones rewatch and that is a hell of a lot of commitment. I think there’s a bit of misinformation in terms of WWE has no involvement in this documentary as far as I know. I imagine I would get around to seeing it,”
When asked about the locker room being silent on the topic, Rhodes stated that their focus is on what happens on TV:
In terms of the more serious meat in your question in terms of the locker room being quiet or silent, whatever it may be, I don’t think that is a matter of belief versus nonbelief, I think its strictly speaking…we want to be doing what we were doing out there and the focus and the attention that it takes, you know, 13,149 people to have a great story and have a great match and do that every single night has left most of us where we’re finding the information out just as you are and that includes the resolution of this information in terms of what happened, how it happened, and how justice comes about, whatever it may be. But I wouldn’t look at it as an active attempt from the locker room to be silent in any attempt, we’re just are doing what we do day-to-day WWE business.
“Again, I don’t know enough about the information to give you a good enough answer there. I’m sorry,”

Appearing in the opening match of the show, Rhodes successfully defended the Undisputed Championship against Kevin Owens. After the match, Owens hugged Rhodes and did not betray his friend, which some predicted may have happened.
