Sources close to Cody Rhodes revealed that Rhodes has been discussing the trial with fellow wrestlers, and there’s a growing concern about the potential impact on Virgil’s career.
“Cody’s been talking to a lot of the guys about this, and there’s a sense that Virgil’s reputation could take a hit if his brother is found guilty,” said the source. “The WWE is known for its zero-tolerance policy on scandals, and if Virgil’s name is dragged through the mud, it could be a problem for him.”
