Cody Rhodes is gearing up for arguably the biggest match of his career at WrestleMania 39 and naturally, all the eyes are on him. The 37-year-old has been a regular feature in WWE programming in recent times. And now backstage footage of him on the recent edition of SmackDown is garnering a lot of attention.

The blue brand episode saw Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn finally hugging it out and hashing their differences and Rhodes could be seen nodding approvingly while watching the heart-melting moment on a monitor. However, there have been many renditions of the content he is watching on TV. And a real-life friend of the second-generation superstar has now jumped on the wagon.

Impact Wrestling performer Matt Cardona recently shared a hilarious image on his Instagram account. The post features him appearing to kiss an opponent during the World Series Wrestling 2023 event. And that image has replaced the content being watched by Rhodes on the monitor and in the process trolling him.

The social media post by Cardona comes after Rhodes mentioned him in one of his recent interactions with the Good Karma Wrestling podcast.

Cody Rhodes recently talked about Matt Cardona

The American Nightmare reminisced about his and Brosky’s days in the AEW. And how the latter refused to work with him in an on-screen capacity.  Rhodes also discussed his current relationship with Cardona. He said, “no good karma with Matt Cardona at the moment.” The recent remarks by Rhodes indicate that maybe his relationship with Cardona is on rocky terms.

However, the recent Instagram post by Matt Cardona has helped lighten up the mood. It will be interesting to see if Cody Rhodes responds in any manner to the social media post.

The fans of the two would hope that they sort out any issues that may have come in between their friendship, much like the on-screen reunion of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. And then the fans could have other information to react to on the Internet.
