Everyone loves Cody Rhodes. Don’t they?

Since returning to WWE at WrestleMania 38, Cody Rhodes has become the most beloved star in the company, and arguably the most popular star in the entire industry.

Riding this wave of popularity, Rhodes captured the Undisputed WWE Title at WrestleMania, and his subsequent title run has been described by some as a throwback to a bygone era with a universally loved babyface on top.

Not only is Rhodes popular with fans, but he also seems to have captured the hearts and minds of those backstage.

Kevin Owens Unimpressed By Cody Rhodes

According to a recent report, WWE is “in love” with Cody Rhodes in his role as the face of the company. The report noted the sports entertainment giant sees him in a similar light to John Cena and a babyface everyone can get behind, especially children.

However, not everyone is as in love with Rhodes as WWE management.

Responding to the report on social media, Kevin Owens simply wrote “LOL” to express his feelings.

Although Rhodes and Owens had been together in their battle against The Bloodline previously cracks began to appear in their relationship around Bash In Berlin. At the event, Rhodes successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Title against KO, but that victory was in large part due to Owens refusing to capitalise on Rhodes’ knee injury.

At the end of his patience, Kevin Owens finally snapped following Bad Blood and brutally attacked Rhodes in the parking lot. The newly-heel Owens has since turned his attention to Randy Orton, brawling with the veteran at Crown Jewel.
