The fallout from John Cena’s betrayal of Cody Rhodes continues, and Cody’s mother, Michelle Runnels, isn’t holding back. In a recent interview with Bill Apter, she expressed her disbelief over Cena’s decision to align with The Rock.
“I was just shocked. Completely shocked. I would have never thought that was going to happen,” Runnels said. Despite Cena’s long history with Cody and the Rhodes family, she dismissed any notion that he was ever a close friend, referring to him only as an acquaintance.
When asked what she would say to Cena now, she responded bluntly: “John, you should be ashamed of yourself. You had a beautiful career, everybody loved you, and now you’re just an a**hole.”
However, her frustration with Cena didn’t overshadow her pride in Cody. She praised him for taking a stand against The Rock and proving he’s his own man. With WrestleMania 41 approaching, tensions are only growing, and the rivalry between Cena, Cody, and The Rock is heating up fast.
