Cody Rhodes accused Bron Breakker of violating an important locker room etiquette.
The former uncontroversial champion recently appeared on the show Hot Ones to promote the upcoming SummerSlam pay-per-view event. During the interview, he discussed the unwritten rules of wrestling and behaviors toward fellow wrestlers that experts consider either minor offenses or serious breaches.
Rhodes explained that top stars are expected to sign large stacks of autographed photos before every show, and it’s regarded as a serious offense to interfere with this process.
"Every night, if you’re doing well, they hand you a stack of 8×10 photos to sign. If you’ve watched John Cena or me, you know it’s a lot—hundreds of photos signed right at the entrance. The misdemeanor occurs if you get up and try to talk to or shake hands with the person while they’re signing," he said.
Cody Rhodes then singled out Bron Breakker, a rising star from the famous Steiner family, as someone who regularly commits this offense.
The former world champion also highlighted other significant breaches of locker room conduct, like passing a bag to other wrestlers or seating family members in a way that disrupts the show, calling these acts serious violations in wrestling culture.
Fan Take: This revelation shines a light on the strict backstage culture in WWE, emphasizing respect and professionalism among talent. For fans, it’s a reminder that wrestling’s drama extends beyond the ring, where locker room etiquette can impact the unity and reputation of the sport.
