Cody Rhodes Won’t Say Whose Idea Codyvator Spot At WWE SummerSlam Was, Credits Triple H

John Cena and Cody Rhodes battled at WWE SummerSlam in a fight that went all over arena. The two battled under the ramp, and came up through the Codyvator (an elevator on the entrance ramp used by Cody), with Cena housing Cody on his shoulders.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Cody was asked about the spot.

“I don’t want to tell you whose idea it was, but I can say this, there’s a guy backstage who runs Gorilla. Shout out to him, Temarrio. He does not like the Codyvator. I like that he calls it the Codyvator, because we could easily just call it a lift like it’s denoted in a production budget. But he doesn’t like the Codyvator, because the Codyvator is pretty expensive, and if we’re only going to use it for me to come up and I prefer it’s only me. But I joked with him a lot that, hey, look, dude, we’re getting bang for your buck here, two uses of the Codyvator, and it made him feel better about the use of it that night. So yeah, I’ll go ahead and credit Triple H for that one, easiest one to credit for it, but that was fun. Also, you can tell how strong a man really is when you’re going at a tiny, incremental pace and the floor is lifting you, and still had me, and I think wanted to carry me 70 yards, but didn’t need to. I can fall off your shoulders at a certain point. He’s still got it. John, certainly, all the functional strength, and you’ve seen all the hard knocks videos and all that, that’s never gonna go away,” said Cody.

Cody was victorious in the bout, recapturing the Undisputed WWE Championship.
