Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens have been friends for a long time and their journey is remarkable. On May 21, 2016, Rhodes posted on his social media that he was going to leave WWE. The reason for that was obvious he was not as successful as his father and didn’t receive attention like him. But he wanted to change things and he left the WWE and wrestled for Independent Circuit from 2016-2018, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and also spent a brief time at TNA. Throughout this journey, Owens helped him from transitioning to another organization to his comeback to WWE. In a recent interview, they discussed their journey and also the upcoming ‘Bash in Berlin’.
Bond Between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens
Cody Rhodes: Both wrestlers had good things to say to each other and they appreciated each other. When Owens was asked about the time when he became friends with Rhodes, his answer was obvious. Dusty Rhodes, the father of Cody Rhodes was a good friend of Owens. That’s where Owens and Rhodes started their journey as friends.
“I probably met Cody in 2015, when I came out of the main roaster. I already knew Dusty just because of that. I already like Cody before I even met him. But he might have a different version of it.”
Rhodes also had good things to say about Owens. As he mentioned the family they took with the statue of their father they made. All family members of the Rhodes family were there to celebrate but there was one person who was not from a Rhodes family but he was there to celebrate with them, and that was Kevin Owens.
“We did get a long right off the bat to the point where there’s photo of dad’s statue get unveiled. All my family and then Kevin!!!”
Effect of Bash in Berlin on Friendship
Both Wrestlers are very happy to be in the big event, ‘Bash in Berlin’. They were asked how the ‘Bash in Berlin’ match affected their friendships, and if it did, was it going to be long-term or temporary? According to Owens, this can never affect their friendship and they will be friends forever. The answer of Ownes was:
No, I don’t think so. Look I’m excited to be in this. It’s the first PLE in Germany. The crowd is going to be crazy. If don’t give it my all, my daughter is going to kill me. I will do everything that I can, to win this title.
The reply from Cody Rhodes was a little bit heartbreaking, cause he hinted a little bit towards the end of their friendship, as he said:
“Look I’m more dialed into this, I’m more locked into this. I would have to win this title even if I have to go against a close friend.”
Final Thoughts
This friendship has survived for a very long time and the fans of both champions, Rhodes and Owens will never want them to be separated. But the environment seems to hint toward something unexpected and that is what WWE is all about. The goal of WWE is to bring something exciting and unexpected.
