Cody Rhodes left WWE on a bitter note in 2016. The American Nightmare joined The Elite in the independent circuit. Despite his exit from Vince McMahon-led promotion, Cody struggled to get the the company's ‘demon’ out of him. The 37-year-old star had to wait for some time before a certain priest showed up to exorcise the demon.
The former Ring of Honor World Champion’s hilarious roast of WWE aired as part of episode 127 of Being The Elite. The episode was titled “The Exorcism of Cody Rhodes.” The video showed the American Nightmare exhibiting erratic behavior. His eyes had turned white, something Flip Gordon pointed out during the episode.
Cody even had the old WWF logo painted on his chest for the video. The former IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion namedropped some of the most iconic WWE finishers while he was being hilariously exorcised by Christopher Daniels. In the end, the Fallen Angel finally managed to remove the WWE demon from his friend’s body.
