What did MJF think about Cody Rhodes recent comments in a media interview where he predicted that the AEW World Champion will eventually find his way to WWE?
"The Devil" spoke about the reaction to those comments from "The American Nightmare" during a recent SI Media Podcast interview.
“I don’t know why, I saw fans absolutely sh*tting on him when all he was saying was his opinion," MJF said. "It’s an opinion. I pray to God I don’t get lambasted online for some of the opinions I’m doing in this interview. I just feel like everything’s so radicalized now and hyperbolic now. That’s why, there’s certain aspects about social media I love. I think it brings people of the same like-mindedness together. I think it allows people to find their own communities. But what I hate about some of the social media, I find that hate-mongering and fear-mongering is the stuff that gets pushed the most. It’s because of this sensationalist stuff that people start believing in the sensationalized stuff and the hyperbolic stuff. I can’t relate to it. I’m a straight shooter. I say it like it is 110% of the time."
MJF continued, "Cody Rhodes felt that way. In Cody Rhodes’ mind and opinion, that was his way of putting over a friend, a prodigy, a former coworker, former protege. I guess I shouldn’t say former. I still talk to Cody to this day. He’s a great guy. He’s doing great things over there, I’m doing great things over here."
