She is demanding that Shane either put the money back into You On Demand, or he suitably financially recompenses her.

Cody campaign:

Cody Rhodes has launched a campaign to raise funds for the recently deceased British wrestler Kris Travis. He, as with another campaign launched by TNA stars, will send the money to the family chosen charity of the grappler, who died aged 32 from stomach cancer last week.

He explained why he has taken the step of launching a T-Shirt...

''The campaign for the "Our Ladder" t-shirts should be launching in the next week, however I did want to inform fans that to honor late Pro-Wrestling star Kris Travis, the charity receiving 100% of the profits will be CAVENDISH CANCER CARE. Full disclosure, I never had the privilege to meet Kris. I know in pro-wrestling gaining the respect of your peers is invaluable and does not come easy. When asked about him, a trusted peer of mine said he was a "good man". With the industry muddled in social media-negativity and selfishness we could certainly use more individuals like Kris. With @ProjectCiampa 's help, I am really looking forward to launching this campaign.
