Cody Rhodes was a part of the recent WWE Crown Jewel 2026 Premium Live Event. In a recent interview on the Double Coverage Podcast, Cody Rhodes revealed that he and Santino Marella used to joke a lot, and there was one time when they got into a friendly grappling fight and Rhodes was able to take him down.
He said, “One time we got into this little like, you know, he’s getting the Russian two-on-one and we’re starting you know when you start pushing on each other that this is going somewhere, and I got lucky and he shot in on me and I sprawled and I got lucky and I stuffed the shot and then I shot in on him and I took him down to his back and we’re in the locker room. This is two points in wrestling.” , said Rhodes. This is no big deal. He squared off against his former mentor Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match. The American Nightmare unleashed his most vicious side in the match to take down the dangerous and volatile Orton with no rules to stop them.
