Cody Rhodes made a big return to the WWE after switching over from AEW. One of the people that were happy to see him return to the big pro wrestling promotion was his good friend Randy Orton.
Randy Orton recently spoke to Inside The Ropes where he talked about his relationship with Cody Rhodes. Rhodes was actually one of Orton's babysitters during his early run with WWE.
“Cody, he was young, but I was still young when he came up, and I was still kind of in a period of time where I needed a babysitter,” said Randy. “So as much as he puts me over for taking him under my wing when he was brand new, and drove me around town to town like he was a good — Cody, probably, is responsible for getting me town to town safely for a good three years of my career. If it wasn’t for him, I might not be here right now. Like, he was my babysitter after the show.”
Eventually, the relationship evolved and Cody Rhodes became more than a babysitter for Randy Orton. The two WWE stars became good friends and had many fun stories together.
“As far as stories, man, we had a lot of wild fun nights going out with the boys and shit. But that was like a lifetime ago. You know, we’re both married now with kids. There’s no reason I bring up all those old memories. Maybe when my kids are grown, his kids are grown, you know, a book is in order. There could be a chapter on all the funny shit Cody did. For sure.”
