Overview
- On Cody Rhodes’ podcast, Triple H said his first thought when he saw the 2019 throne-smash was “F— yeah, good for him.”
- He added that he did not see real malice in the stunt and would have called Rhodes if he had.
- At AEW’s first show, Rhodes took a sledgehammer from Brandi Rhodes and smashed a throne styled after Triple H’s imagery in a rival to WWE.
- Levesque framed the moment as a bold bid to break a rut and build an identity, praising efforts to “make a name” outside WWE.
- Rhodes is now WWE’s Undisputed Champion and is scheduled to defend the title at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas against Randy Orton on April 18–19.
