As seen in the videos released, The American Nightmare initially seemed worried about the fan trying to get in contact with him from behind, and immediately called for security. Rhodes asked the kid about his parents, before requesting him to return to his seat. The kid’s request to get the picture with him was eventually granted. The top Raw superstar also shared his reaction to the video of the kid jumping the barricade to meet him after WWE Smackdown tapings.
“This popped me. He ended up getting the pic. Good kiddo,” wrote Rhodes.

Cody Rhodes surprise another kid after WWE Smackdown
This wasn’t the only happening after WWE Smackdown taping, this week. According to PWInsider, there was another incident that involved a young fan at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. This one also involved Cody Rhodes.
Apparently, the superstar who returned to WWE at Wrestlemania 38 saw a kid with a sign noting it was his birthday. So, he wanted to bring him up to the ring. He wasn’t sure whether the security will allow him to do so and hence he eventually said “scr*w it” before lifting the kid on the ring apron for the fans in the arena so that they should sing Happy Birthday. This incident closed out the blue brand TV taping from Long Island.
Sorry for the grainy video but after the dark match @CodyRhodes took a kid out the audience and we got to sing happy birthday to him. This Is the type of thing that makes you a fan for life and Cody definitely is the man for this. #WWE #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/Y8425tXxlj
