Cathy Kelley, a WWE interviewer, took to social media to compliment Rhodes’ elegant crowd surfing. “That was the most elegant crowd surf I’ve ever seen CodyRhodes,” Kelley tweeted shortly after the kickoff show.

Rhodes has been the talk of the WWE since winning the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania XL.
