WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes made a massive mistake on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW, believes wrestling veteran Vince Russo. The American Nightmare came face to face with John Cena on the red brand show.
After John Cena turned heel and obliterated Cody Rhodes alongside The Rock, he finally came face to face with The American Nightmare on this week's RAW. Cena first addressed the crowd, blaming them for his character change. The 16-time World Champion also broke several hearts by saying that he was breaking up with the WWE Universe, as anything he did was never enough for them.
The Undisputed WWE Champion called out Cena for complaining and asked him to bring back the version of himself that fans looked up to. Much to everyone's surprise, Rhodes did not attack the 16-time World Champion, despite what the latter did to him at Elimination Chamber.
During a recent edition of Vince Russo's The Brand podcast, the former WWE writer compared Cody Rhodes to Stone Cold Steve Austin in the Attitude Era, saying that he believed if someone had attacked The Texas Rattlesnake, he would have reacted differently compared to Rhodes.

"Then people always say to me, 'Oh, the Attitude Era was overrated.' You know what bro? Imagine that happening to Austin, imagine somebody kicking Austin in the b*lls, beating him with a strap, busting him open, punching him in the head, puncturing an eardrum, and Austin coming out there the first time he sees the guy and doing nothing, imagine that bro," he said.
Vince Russo also highlighted The American Nightmare's big mistake, saying that the latter should have attacked John Cena in the parking lot itself instead of just calling him out for complaining in front of fans.
"Freaking Cody Rhodes should have been waiting at that back door with a baseball bat when that car pulls up he should have been beating the sh*t out of the windshield, the headlights, the hood, the entire car, dragging Cena out of the car but that's your comeback? 'You're a whiny b*tch?' Who's the b*tch bro? He kicked you in the b*lls and you didn't do nothing," he added. [2:57 - 3:52]
