WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page has actively supported Rhodes since his return to the wrestling promotion at WrestleMania 38. He recently took to X to send a message of support to the former AEW star ahead of the upcoming episode of the blue brand:

"You know how it goes...'Never underestimate the power you give someone by believing in them. But more importantly, never underestimate the power you give yourself by believing in YOU!' @CodyRhodes 💎 DDP," he wrote.

Diamond Dallas Page reveals the advice he gave to Cody Rhodes two decades ago

DDP used to be a regular guest at The American Nightmare's high school wrestling events. The WWE Hall of Famer was also close friends with Dusty Rhodes.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter, DDP recalled the advice he gave to Rhodes after the latter suffered his first loss:

"His [Cody Rhodes'] senior year, he lost his 12th or 13th match. He was undefeated until then. He was really upset about it, and I said, 'Code, do you think you learn anything from winning or losing?' I said, 'You learn from falling down [and] making mistakes, bro.' I go, 'What did you learn from that?' I tell you what he ended up learning is that every kid after that just didn't wanna get pinned by Cody Rhodes. So, he figured it out, and after he'd take them down, he'd let them up, then he'd take them down, then let them up, then he'd take them down, then he'd let them up, then he'd take them down, and he'd pin them."
