Bobby Steveson recalls Cody Rhodes talking with him backstage after a match with Tyler Breeze.

The former NXT star was seen as a future star in the WWE up until this year. He was a regular member of the NXT roster. As Damon Kemp, he was a key part of the No Quarter Catch Crew, and was shocked when he was let go from the company earlier this year.

Bobby Steveson spoke with Fightful, and talked about a backstage interaction he had with Cody Rhodes.

The former NXT star revealed that the WWE Champion gave him feedback following a match with Tyler Breeze on Main Event. Bobby Steveson said he really appreciated that, because he was a “top dude” talking to a relatively inexperienced wrestler.

“I mean, they’re all great coaches there, but I think the people that really were like a surprise to me to see there. So we were on TV, Seth Rollins, he was watching the show, but thankfully I was on the show to be able to get his input. Because top dude, you want to know what they’re thinking, so you can like work on that. Then so he watched the show, I got good input and feedback from him.”

“But the other great one was Cody Rhodes after my Main Event match with Tyler Bate. I was in the locker room and I guess he was getting ready, he was doing something with Jey Uso and I was just sitting in the locker room, just watching the show on the TVs. He comes over, he was like, 'Hey,' he daps me up a little bit. He was like, 'All that was good stuff out there.' I really appreciated that. 'Cause top dude.”

Bobby Steveson: Cody Rhodes Showed Me Some Love In The Locker Room

Bobby Steveson continued to talk about his interaction with Cody Rhodes in the WWE locker room.

The former WWE Superstar noted that Cody Rhodes’ compliments reassured him that he was doing well in his development.

“At WWE, he’s hot, so you want everyone to be on their A-game when they’re out there. So when he came over to me and said like, 'Hey, great job, you look like you belonged out there' One of those things, let me pinch myself real quick, you know what I mean? Cody Rhodes talking to me. So when he said that, it was one of those things, you question yourself a lot in the wrestling business—if you’re doing good, if you’re doing the right things, or if people are enjoying what you’re seeing.”

“Then when Cody Rhodes came over to me and showed me some love in the locker room. I was like, 'Alright, I’m doing something right.' Just keep my head on straight and stay focused because the biggest dog in the company is showing you love, so you must be doing something right. That was pretty cool. That was another good thing about being able to go up on those main event matches, being around those top guys in the locker room too.”
