[WATCH] Cody Rhodes lifts 275 lb WWE Superstar on his shoulders

WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes has shared a clip from a house show on his official Instagram account. The American Nightmare can be seen carrying his best friend and fellow WWE veteran Randy Orton on his shoulders after a match.

At the Edinburg WWE live event, fans were treated to a massive six-man tag team match. The contest pitted Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Jacob Fatu against Solo Sikoa, JC Mateo, and Tonga Loa.

In the end, the babyfaces emerged victorious over the bad guys. Cody Rhodes carried 275 lb Randy Orton on his shoulders for a while as the capacity crowd cheered for the duo. The American Nightmare then posted the video on his official Instagram handle.

Check it out below:

Cody Rhodes and Orton go way back to the time the two stars were part of The Legacy. Orton, Rhodes, and Ted DiBiase Jr. were an unstoppable force on the main roster back then, and feuded with some of WWE's top babyfaces, including John Cena and D-Generation X.

Orton split with DiBiase and Rhodes on the Road to WrestleMania 26 in 2010 and defeated the two young guns in a Triple Threat match at The Show of Shows. Fans have been wanting to see an Orton-Rhodes feud ever since the latter came back three years ago.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
