“The American Nightmare’ Cody Rhodes gave some high praise to his friend and former mentor, Randy Orton, for taking him under his wing years ago.
Following WWE Monday Night RAW, Cody Rhodes posted a heartfelt message to Orton on his Instagram page, congratulating him on his 20 years in WWE. He said,
“I have an assortment of jovial stories about this man – but often I miss the mark on the most important aspect…Randy Orton took me under his wing; perhaps begrudgingly or not, but he did it sincerely. Up in the stands earlier in the day, in the car, in the locker room, on the apron…constantly delivering wisdom and functional advice, and it came from a place of experience and wasn’t just rhetoric. His passion for our sport is aggressive. Loud and proud. Did it his way and in the process entertained millions. Thank you. Cheers to 20 @randyorton.”
