Which match did Cody Rhodes pick as one of his favorite matches?

The 38-year-old recently visited Philadelphia to promote WrestleMania 40 and engaged in an interview. During the segment, the host would ask Rhodes about his favorite match against The Beast, to which he responded back with their clash in Puerto Rico at Backlash 2023.

Cody Rhodes would state that their bloody battle at Backlash was one of his favorite matches due to its hardcore nature, and the nostalgia it brought. Rhodes claimed that the bloodshed during the match reminded him of some of the greatest hardcore wrestlers of all time.

He said, “By far Puerto Rico, Backlash. The crowd was crazy, and I had been there the night before which I was kind of like, ‘They have seen me. I wonder if they will be excited plus we’re the main-event. We’ll see.’ They were amazing and it was fun to be Puerto Rico because of the history of wrestling and sports entertainment in Puerto Rico. “

Rhodes further continued, “But the only thing I thought when he hit the buckle and turned around, he was covered in blood. The only thing that came to my mind, and this sounds so silly. A wrestler or a fan will understand this, the only thing that came to my mind was, ‘this is Puerto Rico’. Because I’m thinking Abdullah the Butcher, I am thinking Carlos Colon. It’s just like, I was thinking at a different level about the hardcore. “
