On the subject of Rhodes, Ryback claimed that 'The Grandson Of A Plumber' made 'The Big Guy' look "dumb" for saying in an interview that Ryback believed the film Terminator 2: Judgment Day was called that not because it was the sequel to The Terminator, but because there were two terminators. Notably, Ryback mentioned that Daniel Bryan and Rhodes are the reason he stopped riding with others.
"Old Cody did an interview with somebody in which I had a few tweets over, which he did a legit interview for one of the dirtsheets, which I hate people doing interviews with dirtsheets, first of all. But whatever. And in a serious interview, he does the thing, the Terminator 2 deal, where him and Daniel Bryan, and in this, he doesn't say anything about this being a joke, but he says that I believed that Terminator 2 was because there were two terminators. And it is f–king hilarious, absolutely. And because I didn't know there was a Terminator 1. I thought that was Terminator 1 and it was just T2 because the good guy/bad guy terminators. They're the reason why I quit riding with people altogether, it's just annoyed the f–k out of me."
Ryback continued, "it makes me look like a dumb f–king piece of s–t. And I was like, 'Cody, like, I get it. It's funny, but say it was a f–king joke!' because you have to understand the audience you're playing to, they don't understand what is a joke or not and it doesn't help my reputation at all when you tell it? but he put out a tweet correcting [it]."
"I don't get hot over it, but, I'm just like, f–k, how would [he] feel if did an interview about [him and said] 'yeah, I walked in a room and saw Cody Rhodes blowing another dude,' and that's all I said? And the guy goes, 'man, that's pretty funny!' 'Yeah, right?' and then, I just keep going on with the interview. 'Yeah, Cody Rhodes is a c——–r.' And then, that's how that gets started. You don't do s–t like that. That's called being an adult, so I get f–king hot over that s–t."
