As noted, Randy Orton took some shots at the non-WWE wrestling scene during his promo on SmackDown Live last night.
Orton said that he wasn’t an “indie darling that competed in run-down bingo halls,” adding that he “didn’t steal some sweet hand gesture either.” A Twitter user asked Cody Rhodes to blast Orton for the promo, but Cody is not having any of it, as seen below:
You crazy?! Randy could call me a rat piece of sh!& and I wouldn’t care ha.Without him I wouldn’t have cleared a million dollars by 24 without a college education. Learned a lot about wrestling from him, and pretty much everything I know about travel from him. “Ice cream” https://t.co/9oQ6E6sNNW

Cody added that his quick powerslam is an homage to Orton:
