Cody Rhodes has revealed what he and Randy Orton said to each other following their WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series 2023.
Rhodes and Orton were reunited at the November 25 premium live event, where they teamed with Seth Rollins, Jey Uso and Sami Zayn to defeat Damian Priest, Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, Dominik Mysterio and Drew McIntyre.
The former Legacy teammates shared a moment after the bout, and Cody Rhodes has now confirmed what was said.
During the post-show press conference, Rhodes noted that Orton thanked him for the phone call.
Opening up about his relationship with Orton, Cody Rhodes said:
“At the end of the match, Randy said to me, ‘Thanks for the phone call.’ And I wanted to tell him ‘Thanks for my career.’ I keep thinking this is going to end and I couldn’t have gotten to where I got had I not been around Randy.
“Randy is so wild and chaotic and you hear all these funny stories about him and all this nonsense, but as a performer, a professional wrestler, WWE superstar. What an outstanding mentor he was to me truly.
“I’ll never forget standing in the ring at the Royal Rumble when he won, pointing at the star WrestleMania sign and just thinking, ‘I want to be like him.’ That’s (as) nice as I’m gonna get about (him). I was really touched.”
