When it comes to professional wrestling, Cody Rhodes is about as good a guy as one can be.

He signs hundreds of autographs for fans, takes pictures with his “Little Nightmares” before and after shows, and even refuses to turn heel no matter how many fans want him to in order to fall in line with the John Cenas and Hulk Hogans of the world during their WWE runs.

And yet, Rhodes is human, and there are performers he doesn't like, too, even a shocking one that seemingly everyone else loves, as he detailed in an interview with Peter Rosenberg on his Cheap Heat show: R-Truth.

“I might dislike R-Truth more than anybody in the whole business. He’s an unbelievably great human and great father, but if I was Stardust, just know that on 42 different occasions, I was looking up at the lights while R-Truth was dancing around and celebrating. One night, even hit a Cross Rhodes where he managed to not bump. This is definitely petty on my part,” Cody Rhodes told Peter Rosenberg via Fightful.

“He knows, and I told him this the day I came back in Dallas, Texas. I said, ‘When it happens, you’re going to be looking up at the lights. I’m going to make sure of it. If it’s my last day on earth, I’m going to make sure of it.' He knows. There is a fun moment where I come out to the Royal Rumble, the place is digging me, it’s Tampa. Here he comes, he’s making John Cena’s comeback. You can see my in the corner. All I wanted to do was kick him in the face and ruin it. I couldn’t because, if I’m their guy, they like R-Truth too. He knows he’s on borrowed time. He’s on borrowed time. Whenever you count that man out, he does something amazing, but I look forward to it.”

Is there a way for WWE to actually pay off Rhodes versus R-Truth at some point in the future? I mean, probably not, but hey, if the “American Nightmare truly wants his revenge, then why not go all in and give him the match, even in a goofy, gimmicky way, in order to allow the WWE Champion to get out on top? In WWE, crazier things have happened.

Did Backlash have an even bigger star than Cody Rhodes?

Discussing Cody Rhodes' first-ever title defense with the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Backlash on his My World podcast, Jeff Jarrett discussed revealed that there was one star in Lyon, who was even bigger than the “American Nightmare:” the French crowd.

“Social media, you get bits and pieces and highlights. You know how big of a fan I am of international professional wrestling, in that we, as in the United States, we’ve always been that export. Our show [is] made here in America, it goes out to Europe, it goes out all over the world, and has for years and years. So the folks, they’re not spoiled or jaded, or they don’t get to have it weekly in their town. What's the saying, familiarity breeds contempt?” Jeff Jarrett explained on My World via Fightful.

“It just goes to show you, just the electricity and vibe, and I was telling this story earlier, it’s a buzz just about [how] the star of the weekend was the crowd. That is a European crowd. When you do autograph sessions at the big events, you’ll have folks from all kinds of countries. When they come to sign autographs, the Europeans will tell you, ‘Hey Jeff, I’m from,’ and then fill in the blank. All the European countries, those fans that are really, really into it, they are proud of where they’re from, and I think in a way, those folks took it to another level because they knew the whole world was watching. It’s like they were almost performing for the whole world.”

Is Double J on the money? Did the crowd in France deliver an absolutely incredible effort at Backlash, elevating good matches into great ones and great matches into something even better? Yes, a crowd can certainly make or break a show, and in terms of WWE audiences, this was among the best you could find at any venue around the world. Factor in the hype surrounding Rhodes versus AJ Styles in the main event of Backlash, and you have a perfect storm that generated the sort of hype WWE could only dream of generating for a match and reaped the benefit of in the end.
