Cody Rhodes makes surprising statement on current WWE content

Cody Rhodes recently made an interesting comment about WWE's content and ticket sales. The former AEW star is the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion on SmackDown.

Speaking with popular comedian Bert Kreischer on the Bertcast show, The American Nightmare discussed ticket sales in professional wrestling. He noted that content needs to be king, and if a company is just trying to sell tickets, it won't work out. He added that attending events should be an experience for fans.

“I think that’s the biggest — in this whole game of ticket-selling — is it’s like a bad salesman. When you’re just there to sell, and the content isn’t king, you only sell one time. I remember my time away from WWE, I remember thinking, these houses are great. D.C., 13,000 people. But what’s it gonna be next time? ‘Guys, we’re gonna come back. What’s it gonna be next time? There will be a drop, sure but, how much will we retain?’ And to me, I’d rather go down swinging on not trying to sell a ticket versus let me sell them an experience," said Rhodes. [H/T: Fightful]
