Cody Rhodes appeared on the latest edition of WWE RAW to cut a promo in which he namedropped a friend named "Matt." Fans went into a frenzy on Twitter right after, trying to guess which Matt he was referring to.
Rhodes had a tough time at WrestleMania 39, where he failed to defeat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Brock Lesnar added insult to injury on the RAW after WrestleMania by brutalizing The American Nightmare after backstabbing him.
Cody came out on this week’s show to address the WWE Universe following two difficult nights in the ring. He spoke about how he failed to win at The Show of Shows and wondered whether The Beast saw him as a victim.
The American Nightmare went on to state that a friend named Matt told him that he had already won by main-eventing WrestleMania. However, Rhodes believed otherwise and thought that wins and losses meant much more.
Following his emotional promo, fans took to Twitter to try and guess who Cody Rhodes was referring to. While some fans namedropped a couple of AEW stars, others believed it was Matt Cardona. A few just decided to have some fun at the expense of the real Matt.
Check out the tweets below:
Cody Rhodes is known to be good friends with AEW star Matt Jackson and IMPACT Wrestling star Matt Cardona. Matt Hardy and Matt Sydal have also worked with Rhodes in the past.
