While speaking on WWE After The Bell, Cody Rhodes talked about his WWE return. Rhodes made it clear he was Matt Cardona didn’t stooge off his WWE return, as he was one of the few people who knew about it.

“I’m surprised Vic (Joseph), that you didn’t know, because you’re friends with that little stooge Cardona. He was in that very small people of circle when this initially was brought to me know. I told him everything, every detail, everything. I was legitimately expecting him to go, ‘Don’t do it.’ He went completely the opposite way. He was like, ‘that’s the ultimate undeniable. Come back and land in the fashion that you did.’ He inadvertently set off this emotion because I really thought he was going to say, ‘go the other way.’ He was gung ho. I’m shocked he didn’t stooge it off.”
