Is Cody Rhodes the Hardest Working Man in WWE? Triple H Thinks So

In a world where kayfabe is supposedly dead, every now and then, the curtain gets pulled back to reveal the unglamorous reality of being a top WWE Superstar. This time, it was none other than the head honcho himself, Triple H, who gave fans a peek into the grueling life of the “American Nightmare,” Cody Rhodes. And let’s just say, it’s not all pyrotechnics and grand entrances.

In a recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Triple H shared a candid mirror selfie of Cody Rhodes looking absolutely exhausted in an airport gym. The Game’s caption wasn’t just a simple pat on the back; it was a detailed breakdown of a schedule that would make most mere mortals weep. It seems being the “QB1” of WWE involves a whole lot more than just finishing the story.

So, what does it take to be the face of the largest wrestling promotion on the planet? According to Triple H, it looks a little something like this.

Triple H Details Cody’s “Cutthroat” WWE Schedule

Triple H laid out Cody’s recent travel itinerary, and it’s a logistical nightmare. First, a grueling 14-hour flight to Dubai. Upon landing, with jet lag surely setting in, the mission was to find an airport gym and, in Triple H’s words, “grind.” Because who needs sleep when you have gains to make, right?

But the fun didn’t stop there. After that little workout session, Cody had another 10-hour flight to Perth, Australia. You’d think after nearly 24 hours in the air, a guy could catch a break. You’d be wrong. Immediately after touching down, Rhodes was whisked away for media appearances with ESPN and then spent time with Make-A-Wish families. All of this before his high-stakes showdown with Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel.

Triple H ended his post by calling it “QB1 stuff,” emphasizing that this is what it truly takes to be a WWE Superstar. He even added a slightly apologetic note for exposing Cody’s brutal schedule, but felt it was a story that needed to be told. The post quickly blew up, with fans and fellow wrestlers, including Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer, praising Rhodes for his incredible dedication. It’s one thing to hear about the travel, but seeing it laid out like that puts a whole new perspective on the “work” part of “working the fans.”
