Well, let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout this Cody Rhodes fella and all this blood business. Folks are makin’ a big fuss, ya know? Always gotta be somethin’ to yap about.

Cody Rhodes, that wrestler fella, he’s been smackin’ around and gettin’ smacked around. That’s what they do, them wrestlers. They jump and they holler and they pretend to beat each other up real bad. And sometimes, there’s blood.
Now, they’re sayin’ somethin’ ’bout “fake blood,” like it’s a big ol’ secret. Honey, let me tell ya, ain’t nothin’ real ’bout wrestlin’ except the sweat and the sore muscles. These fellas, they plan it all out, like a play, ya know? They gotta make it look good for the folks watchin’.
- They practice their moves.
- They talk about who’s gonna win and who’s gonna lose.
- And sometimes, they use that fake blood to make it look more… dramatic. That’s what they call it, “dramatic.”
I seen it myself on that TV thing, that… whatchamacallit… “Monday Night Raw.” Yeah, that’s it. Cody Rhodes, he was all sweaty and grunting, and then BAM! Somebody hits him, and there’s blood everywhere. Looked like a whole bucket of the stuff.
But is it real blood? Nah, don’t be silly. It’s like them ketchup packets they give ya at the burger joint. Squeeze it hard, and it looks like blood, but it ain’t gonna hurt ya. Same thing with these wrestlers. They gotta make it look real, so they use that fake blood stuff.
Some folks, they get all worked up about it. “Oh, it’s so fake! It’s not real wrestlin’!” Well, duh. It ain’t supposed to be real. It’s entertainment. Like them soap operas on the TV, all them pretty women cryin’ and yellin’, but it’s all just pretend.

Cody Rhodes, he knows what he’s doin’. He’s been doin’ this wrestlin’ thing for a long time. He knows how to get the crowd goin’. He knows how to make ‘em cheer and how to make ‘em boo. And sometimes, that means usin’ a little bit of that fake blood. It’s part of the show, ya see?
They had this thing called “Bad Blood” too, where somethin’ happened to Cody, I think. Someone jumped him or somethin’. Folks talkin’ about how bad it was, but it’s all part of the story. They gotta keep ya interested, ya know? Gotta make ya wanna watch next week.
I heard tell that Cody even talks about the blood stuff himself, says it’s “fun” to use. Well, maybe it is fun for him. It ain’t fun for me to clean up if it was real, that’s for sure! But like I said, it’s all pretend. It’s like playin’ cowboys and Indians when you were a kid. You pretend to shoot each other, but nobody really gets hurt.
And this “WrestleMania 40” thing they talk about… that’s a big deal, I guess. Lots of hoopla and hollerin’. Probably gonna be lots of fake blood there too. They always save the big stuff for the big shows.
Some folks say Cody wouldn’t use fake blood. Say he’s too “real” for that. Well, I say everybody uses a little trickery now and then. It’s just part of life, ya know? Like when you put on a little lipstick to make yourself look prettier, or when you tell a little white lie to spare someone’s feelings. It’s all the same thing.

So, don’t get all worked up about this Cody Rhodes fake blood business. It ain’t nothin’ to worry about. It’s just part of the show. It’s entertainment. It’s wrestlin’. And it ain’t real. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. That’s what it’s there for. And if ya see a little blood, just remember, it’s probably just ketchup.
They say he won a match too, against some fella named Kevin Owens. Probably got some blood in that one too. Saturday Night’s Main Event, they call it. Sounds fancy. But it’s all just wrestlin’, remember? They fight, they bleed, they win, they lose. And then they go home and have dinner with their families. That’s the way it works. So, don’t take it too serious, ya hear?
