Cody Rhodes on WrestleMania 42 Matchup: I’m Not a Little Kid Anymore
Nikki Garcia: Let's talk Randy Orton WrestleMania.
Cody Rhodes: Ruined it. I was having a good day.
Brie Garcia: Nothing like Nikki to ruin someone's day.
Nikki Garcia: Birdie's on your side. Birdie does not like Randy Orton.
Cody Rhodes: Well, somebody asked me, do I hate Randy Orton and I said, “Well, I can't really answer it,” because how could I hate Randy Orton when all the things it takes to beat Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42, everything it would take, 80% of it I learned from Randy Orton. So, that's a very difficult place to be in. You have a match with, for example, C Punk versus Roman Reigns, two guys who just hate each other. Unfortunately, with myself and Randy Orton, even though it doesn't look this way, it's two guys who I think love each other and because we have 20 years of television equity, my first match on TV, my dad's last match, punting me, legacy, all those things, it's real and when it's real, it's best. Standing across the ring from Randy at WrestleMania 42 will be a hundred percent looking at him like I'm looking at you right now and hoping, “Hey, I hope you see me,” because I'm not a little kid anymore and sometimes they still are like, “Oh no, he is a little,” you know, but I need him to know, and I'd like it to be one and done. I hope that doesn't put, you know, rain on anyone's parade, but I'm getting tired of wrestling guys. Okay. Nevermind.
Becky Lynch: You're getting tired of wrestling guys?
Cody Rhodes: No, no, no, no, no. I just, you get into these long standing rivalries and you're just like, you're in there. I mean, me and your husband wrestled four times now and more than that, really, like four, and I think took a great deal out of each other on the way, I mean, so I don't know if that's what I'm looking to do here. As much as I want him to see me, that's the hill in front of me.
Cody Rhodes Tells Nikki & Brie: I’m Trying to Draw Attention to My Butt
Cody Rhodes: I think you're starting to see, 'cause there's a lot of fans who notice, I'll give you an example. Rhea Ripley's cover that she does. It’s quite, it’s provocative, right? So, now I think there's some guys who are starting to go, “Cool, I'm gonna lean into my thing.” So like, I started trying to draw attention to my butt a lot more. I'm like, “Hey, if they're doing it, I also wanna do it.”
Brie Garcia: Wait, did you make your trunks smaller?
Cody Rhodes: No, I just like the suits were carved out a little bit more, and then I started wearing the braces or the suspenders, which is a new bit.
Brie Garcia: I do like that. That's sexy.
Cody Rhodes: Give it a little extra. You know what I'm saying? I'm not doing anything that anyone else isn’t doing.
Becky Lynch: You gotta put the ones around your thighs. There you go. Like matching your tie. You know?
Cody Rhodes: Rhea does the promo and does the turn, you know what I'm saying? What's to stop us from, you know?
Brie Garcia: You should. All of us women, we're not gonna say no.
Cody Rhodes: It’s a fight at that merch day. You know what I'm saying? So, you're just trying to get your percentage up, you know? Whatever it takes, you know?
Becky Lynch Is Excited for Her Coffee Entrepreneur Era
I started drinking coffee from a young age. I started, well, young, relatively, I got into cappuccinos at 14, and you know, I would always, whenever I was anywhere, like I've lived all over the place and I would always, my happy place was always in a coffee shop and I would sit there and I would drink coffee and I would write and that was how I spent my free time wherever we were, and then whenever I got together with Colby, I realized that maybe the quality of my coffee was not up to par 'cause this man is a snob of the highest order, so then I got into, I would go with him to all these different cafes that at one point I would've been like, “It's pretentious. Where's the soul?” Then I was like, “Ah, the soul is in the coffee and this is giving me soul and life,” and so we would just, you know, because when you're on the road and you're traveling constantly, you don't get time to sightsee or take adventures, but going to a good coffee shop is its own experience, its own adventure, and you know, we kind of bonded over that and that was always the thing that we would do first thing in the morning, and then we'd go train and then we'd go find another coffee shop, and so we got to try the best coffees all over the world and we were like, “Oh man. How great would it be to be able to bring this to our audience?” We want people to love coffee as much as we love coffee. We want people to taste what we are tasting and to be able to get access to the best stuff, so we created this.
Nattie Tells Nikki & Brie About Her New Mindset
Nikki Garcia: When was the moment that you realized like, “I'm not Natalya anymore. I want everyone to see Nattie.”
Nattie Neidhart: So, last year when I wasn't a part of WrestleMania, I could feel and sense that I wasn't gonna be included, and so I decided I could do one of two things. I could bitch about it or I could take action, so I decided that I would about it to TJ.
Nikki Garcia: That's what our husbands are for.
Nattie Neidhart: And then I decided to take action and I walked right up to Triple H the following week at Monday Night Raw and I said, “I wanna do blood sport. I want to do this match that nobody has ever seen me do a match like this.” This is something outside of WWE. It was the first time I would ever stepped outside of WWE. It was my first time stepping outside of the company in 18 years and doing an independent show with, you know, there's no ropes. It's very serious fighting and he said yes immediately and I actually said to Cody Rhodes, I said, “I'm gonna blow this motherf**ker up.” I said, ‘And when I say motherf**ker, I meant blood sport.” I was like, “I'm gonna steal the whole entire weekend.”
