Below are the highlights from tonight’s post-Royal Rumble press conference, which featured questions regarding Vince McMahon’s allegations.
– Regarding the Vince McMahon allegations, Cody Rhodes said it is certainly a dark cloud. TKO and Nick Khan acted immediately. He doesn’t know the answer to what needs to be done and then put over the current roster. He said the roster put on a fantastic show to erase the bad taste left from the Vince story.
“Great question, I know as far as the news is concerned we were finding it out and reading the same thing that you guys were reading & he said a dark cloud… certainly.
As far as TKO, Nick Khan & the board, clearly took it very seriously, acted immediately & looking at the future, you know I don’t know the answer to that and I think somewhere is really probably a basic tenant of just… this crew more than ever from a roster standpoint is very family, never seen anything like this, most of the time wrestling locker rooms are fighting, talking trash, making fun of each other, sandbagging each other in the ring & all that nonsense, this crew is very team based and perhaps that’s the ingredient is everyone looking out for everyone — obviously as more news comes out we’ll be seeing it just like you do.”

“I’m gonna do exactly what you expect me to do here. Look, we just had an amazing week. Just signed a 10-year $5 billion Netflix deal. Rock joining our board. We just sold out the Royal Rumble. Put 48,000 people in Tropicana Field. I choose to focus on the positive. Yes, there’s a negative, but I choose to focus on the positive and keep it on that.”
