Del Rio opened up about WWE's grueling tours of Europe and how Cody Rhodes was always a friendly face when he started out in WWE. Del Rio also praised Cody as someone who always brightened up his day:
"We were friends. I remember those tours in Europe, those WWE tours of Europe are like... your body takes a toll in those tours. It was really hard for us to be doing 16 to 18 shows in 15 days, going from not city to city but from country to country. We would do Barcelona today and four hours later we were in Switzerland, we would sleep a few hours, then gym... it was always crazy and in those days, when I started, when they were giving the push, he was always there... he was one of those guys that makes your day better because he's always messing around. We had a good relationship."
