Cody Rhodes put WWE in its place after using his father's death to get talent over

She continued, thanking Rhodes for everything he did for the herself and the NXT group of up-and-coming wrestlers.

Rhodes' son Cody, who has since left WWE and exploded onto the indy scene, couldn't help but comment on Twitter with an emotional reaction:

There's been plenty of tension between Cody Rhodes and WWE, and using his father's death to get a talent even more over is a questionable tactic at best.
