NWA Champion Cody Rhodes responded to a fan on Twitter saying that he had been passed over by WWE during his time there. Rhodes tweeted the following answering the fan's claim.

I’d politely disagree. I was in a PPV main event by age 24. I was happy/challenged with the trajectory of my career there...even stardust. It stung but it was motivating to see guys pass my sparkly ass by, I saw what I was missing and went out and got it. Do the work. https://t.co/TPTMT3CQVC
