Damian Priest couldn’t help but take a playful shot at Cody Rhodes this 4th of July—and it had WWE fans cracking up.

Priest jumped on Twitter after seeing a massive New York fireworks display and couldn’t resist the comparison to Cody’s infamous entrance pyro. “Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸 So cool to see @CodyRhodes Pyro in NY.” Priest tweeted alongside a video of the fireworks lighting up the sky.

The jab didn’t go unnoticed. Rhea Ripley chimed in with her own reaction, clearly loving every second of Priest’s dig at the American Nightmare. “I’m dead 😂 WOOOOOOAAAAAH!” Ripley wrote, mocking Cody’s entrance music in the process.

Rhodes has built a reputation for having some of the loudest, flashiest pyro in WWE today—something both fans and fellow wrestlers like Priest and Ripley clearly can’t help but notice.
