Cody Rhodes has been making a splash in his short time with WWE and that all culminated at WrestleMania 38 a few weeks ago. He shocked the pro wrestling world recently when he left AEW for the bigger promotion.

Cody Rhodes had to be careful about meeting some of the talents in WWE. His time in AEW created issues with some of the current stars. Rhodes was recently on Busted Open Radio where he talked about meeting people backstage.

“I got the chance after the match – I did want to swing by male talent.” “I went in there and got to see Kofi and I got to see Woods and meet some new people. I never really got to talk with Corbin as often. We got to talk a little bit that evening. I was really – I don’t know if excited is the word, as much as I felt this was my responsibility.”

“Now AEW a positive thing that exists in the industry, where now people are getting paid and there are options and stuff like that, but for some who has been a WWE ride or die, a WWE Superstar, there might be those who resent me to a degree over the trash that I spoke. I mean this is – I broke the throne, I poked fun at a lot of things, and that, I’m fully ready for there to be a bit of a cold layer of, maybe not resentment, maybe I won’t be the most popular guy. But that’s not the sense I got.”

There was one person Cody Rhodes found himself very excited to meet. The WWE star had a huge match at WrestleMania and Rohdoes really wanted to meet her.

“I tell you, the person I was most excited to meet was Bianca Belair.” “I was most excited to meet her, and I got to meet her when she had just come from tearing the joint down, and I was underneath the stage so I could hear it all. You’re always happy when you can hear a hot crowd and they had set up such a brilliant crowd and put us in a difficult position to follow.”

“I thought she was just a total queen when I met her, and to be able to be one of the first people to say congratulations, even though I’m brand new on the team, that was very nice and I’m a big fan having watched her last year what she did with Sasha [Banks]. Big fan.”
