Cody Rhodes tweeted the following on Wednesday, revealing that WWE is not preventing him from using his last name of Rhodes on the indie scene. In response to a fan comment saying Cody was banned from using the name while Patrick Clark uses the name Velveteen Dream, he said,
A) Nobody is keeping me from using my last name. There’s no evil plot.
B) he could call himself “blue eyed velveteen American dream soul jr” and I wouldn’t be offended. He’s very talented and not hurting anybody.
Besides, we Rhodes always make a comeback. We endure. https://t.co/9mkapKT7cG
