– Joey Ryan appeared at an indie event Friday evening as a version of Cody Rhodes’ WWE Stardust Character. Joey wrestled under the name “Stardong” and he even executed an altered version of his most famous maneuver in the style of The Prince of Dark Matter. It’s hard to argue that the move wasn’t over with the audience.
I don't want to brag but there's a pretty athletically gifted cartwheel at the end of this. #Stardong #Dongdust @allprowrestling #WeOutHere pic.twitter.com/b6Ua2HgvpW

– At Saturday night’s Pro Wrestling Guerrilla show, Cody Rhodes had a match with TNA star Trevor Lee. After the ring introductions, Cody got on the microphone and proclaimed, “It’s not Cody… It’s Cody F’ing Rhodes!”
Trevor Lee then responded with, “You know what? F*** Dusty Rhodes!”
Cody sent out the following Tweet after the match:
I have ONE rule when you wrestle me or include me in interviews. I did not mention it to my opponent tonight. I apologize on my behalf…

…for the match in Reseda. 100% accidental. Folks get carried away. Apology accepted. Edited from the film. Thank you for understanding.
