6 WWE Superstars Randy Orton is friends with in real life

#5 Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton are still good friends

Carrying on their family names

Cody Rhodes has slowly become one of the most influential men in the wrestling industry thanks to his dedication and pure hard work. Even though he’s the son of one of the most legendary WWE Superstars of all time, just like Randy Orton, he will be remembered for his own skills in the ring which have helped him become an incredible wrestler.

While Cody has stated that his father helped train him to enter the wrestling ring, he has also cited several other wrestlers including The Viper as his trainers.

Dusty trained me in a very different way, but in the ring he literally just gave me a bodyslam, a chop, and a hip toss when I was 12. That’s it ha. Al Snow/Robert Gibson/Danny/Orton were the guys who actually trained me https://t.co/7ybZTnj7WS

Cody Rhodes left WWE and worked elsewhere before building All Elite Wrestling (AEW) from the ground up. Orton, on the other hand, continued his reign over WWE and took a jab at Bullet Club, in one of his promos.

A fan went to Cody Rhodes on Twitter to call Randy Orton out and teach him a lesson, but Rhodes displayed nothing but love for his former WWE colleague.

"You crazy?! Randy could call me a rat piece of sh!& and I wouldn’t care ha. Without Learned a lot about wrestling from him, and pretty much everything I know about travel from him. “Ice cream,'"

Apart from that, Randy Orton had teased about moving to AEW a few times before signing another contract with WWE, and Rhodes and his fellow AEW managers took it all too well.
