During his recent appearance on the podcast show of WWE’s After the Bell with Corey Graves, The American Nightmare revealed that Diamond Dallas Page convinced him to return to WWE.
He said:
“He brought up a good point. The last time I did something major leaving the WWE, he was of the same thought process. ‘Well if you believe, if you’re confident then I’ll be confident with you and confident for you.’
And he gave me some tips on people to speak to and people to let things know before it all went down. He was the only one who was a little bit more fatherly and like okay, let’s make sure this is really what you want and not just a knee-jerk thing.
For the most part, everyone who knew in that very small circle was like absolutely go do it, absolutely, which surprised me.”
DDP started his career as a manager in the American Wrestling Association in the late ’80s. Diamond Dallas Page made his first WWE appearance in 1990. He drove The Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine to the ring in his pink Cadillac at WrestleMania VI. Cody said that it was DDP who made him understand that returning to WWE would turn out to be the right decision on his part.
