Former WWE Star Says Cody Rhodes Was ‘Entitled’ When They First Met

WWE

A former WWE name saw a very different Cody Rhodes than the man that we previously saw in AEW and in WWE today.

Speaking on Cafe de Rene, the host and former WWE star Rene Dupree, looked back on his encounter with Rhodes when he first appeared on WWE Raw.

Believing that Rhodes was entitled during his early days with WWE, Dupree said:

“I remember Cody Rhodes one time spotted off like yeah second generation guys don’t get along and I’m thinking what the f**k do you know about that. My days with Cody were different with other people because when I first met him like, entitled? like a hundred and f**king percent right… He got hired, no experience, no nothing, he was 21, he was trying to be an actor in Hollywood.”

Dupree, himself a second-generation wrestler, recalled introducing himself to Cody Rhodes and receiving something of a frosty reception, saying:

“Hey man, nice to meet you. Hey man, you’re just starting out, I’ll help you out any way I can. I sincerely meant it but it’s almost like he took offense to it like you don’t even have a match, I don’t give a s**t who your daddy is.”

Cody Rhodes is currently out of action, recovering from surgery to fix his torn pectoral muscle. Check out the latest update on Rhodes right here.
