Last week NXT UK star Jordan Devlin talked about how he wasn’t interested in having a match with Cody Rhodes. This was due to a 2017 incident at OTT’s “Being The Elite” show, where Devlin claimed Rhodes went over his time. His comments were eventually noticed by Cody, and he gave his side of the story.
“I was unaware we had times,” wrote Rhodes. He went on to apologize if it created issues for Devlin, and said that management never complained to him. He was told during the match to “take it home,” but he didn’t want to “short the fans.” Brandi Rhodes was more straightforward with her response, and stated that Devlin waiting to tweet about being upset rather than talking to Cody after the show was “unprofessional.”
Check out both Cody and Brandi Rhodes’ response below:
I was unaware we had times. The show was named after us & not dependent on ppv/cable guidelines. The first inkling I got of it was the referee asking me to “take it home”. I felt disrespected by that and didn’t want to short the fans. Apologies if it created issue for you.

“Show runners”…no
Management never complained to me, opposite actually. They were nothing but professional. Considering the pre-show group photo op went so well and was so profitable for their outlet, I assumed it was a symbiotic pleasurable experience.

If you had such a problem with this, as a man, wouldn’t you approach someone face to face and voice the issue? Waiting to tweet negatively about an individual is pretty unprofessional. The announcer at an ROH show voiced this concern to a talent last week. Man to man.
