Cody Rhodes taking a shot at Disco Inferno on WWE SmackDown didnt just spark laughs it also triggered a heated reaction online, including a violent-sounding threat from the former WCW star, and theres already history between the two that adds even more context. The situation started during the April 3 episode of SmackDown when Rhodes returned later in the night after being attacked earlier by Pat McAfee and Randy Orton. Once he grabbed a microphone, Rhodes mocked the reveal that McAfee was behind Ortons mystery phone calls, comparing it to one of wrestlings most famous moments. While addressing the crowd, Rhodes dragged Disco Inferno into the comparison, taking a direct jab at his legacy. That line quickly spread online and eventually reached Disco Inferno, who fired back on social media with a message that included a threat directed at Rhodes. The aggressive tone caught attention fast, but the tension between the two didnt start here. There is already a backstory between Rhodes and Disco Inferno that adds more context to the reaction. Years earlier, Rhodes blasted Disco Inferno on social media in response to criticism about modern wrestling. Rhodes didnt hold back at the time, taking personal shots at Discos career and accusing him of coasting during his wrestling run. That past exchange shows the tension between the two isnt new, which helps explain why Disco responded so strongly after being referenced on SmackDown. Meanwhile, Rhodes SmackDown appearance itself pushed his storyline forward in a major way. After returning from the earlier attack by McAfee and Orton, Rhodes made it clear he plans to get payback as WrestleMania 42 gets closer. With their history already including sharp words and public insults, the latest exchange feels less like a random reaction and more like another chapter in a long-running war of words.
