Cody Rhodes was not present at this years tournament final of the Dusty Rhodes tag team classic, an event named after his father. Rhodes left WWE several months ago. It is being said that WWE is blocking him from using the Rhodes name on the independent scene, as it is trademark of theirs. He is going by simply ‘Cody’ on televised shows.

Rhodes posted a cryptic tweet after NXT Takeover Toronto:

One of those nights where if I can’t say anything nice, I’ll say nothing at all. — Cody Rhodes (@CodyRhodes) November 20, 2016

There are a few things this could be. It certainly could do with WWE using his father’s likeness to promote a tournament, but refusing to allow him to use the name elsewhere. It could have to do with the Authors of Pain winning the tournament named after his father. Or it could be completely unrelated to NXT Takeover and just really ironic timing…

It also could have to do with his friend Tye Dillinger losing his match at the event:
