WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes has revealed that Diamond Dallas Page, aka DDP, was concerned about the former's return to the company.Although Cody's return to his former promotion was widely speculated, only a small circle of people were truly aware of The American Nightmare's plans beforehand.Speaking about his big return on the latest After the Bell podcast, Rhodes detailed the brief conversation he had with DDP before returning to WWE:"One person who was concerned was DDP [Diamond Dallas Page]. He came over to my house and he was really pensive," said Cody Rhodes. "He brought up a good point, the last time I did something major in leaving WWE, he was of the same thought process. 'Well, if you believe and you're confident, then I'll be confident with you and for you.' He gave me some tips on people to speak to and things to let people know before it all went down."Cody Rhodes also stated that DDP was the only person out of the handful of people who knew about his return and who asked him to give his decision a serious thought."He was the only one who was a little more fatherly of, 'let's make sure this is what you want and it's not just a knee-jerk thing.' For the most part, everyone who knew in that small circle was, 'Absolutely go do it,' which did surprise me," Cody Rhodes added.
