WWE superstars have a vast fan following. It is not humanly possible to cater to each and every fan’s needs. Still, superstars try their best to make their fans happy. But it is a universal truth that you can’t please everyone. Speaking of, an angry fan went to X to call out Cody Rhodes for hurting his wife.

Like a gentleman, Rhodes apologized (for an unintentional mistake) and showed us why his fans love him to death. He lived up to his name and reputation as a babyface in the promotion, as he wrote a wholehearted apology to the angry fan.

An X user with the name, V3i70ivi, tagged Rhodes in his recent tweet and called him out for hurting his wife during a recent live event. He accused ‘The American Nightmare’ of ignoring his wife meanwhile taking pictures with a pretty girl. He added his wife felt terrible for the rest of the night because it hurt her that Rhodes ignored her.

Responding to this tweet, Rhodes delivered a heartfelt apology for making her wife feel terrible (though unintentionally). He explained he didn’t do it on purpose. There is a set of rules that superstars have to follow for security reasons.

Sorry it’s never on purpose. I just have to listen to the security time cues and try and get as many folks as I can. It gets a bit chaotic. Apologies.

He added he tries to meet and greet as many fans as possible. But it’s not possible to talk to every fan and take selfies with them as it gets chaotic. Still, he felt bad for the fan and his wife. Thus, he sincerely apologized nonetheless. Rhodes cares for his fans deeply and never wants to see them hurt. Thus, whenever he hurts them unintentionally, he always makes sure to ask for their forgiveness.

A true gentleman and a true babyface…

Rhodes is one of the top baby faces in the promotion. And he does justice to his character. Not only on-screen but in real life as well, he is just as caring towards his fans. For instance, when WWE organized a tribute show for Bray Wyatt and Terry Funk after their deaths, ‘The American Nightmare’ had to postpone his scheduled autograph signing session.

He was deeply sorry for not being able to fulfill his commitment as another important thing occupied his schedule. Rhodes is a Raw superstar but still went to SmackDown to pay tribute to the late WWE legends. Despite doing nothing wrong, he still apologized to the fans for postponing his scheduled autograph signing session.
