Zack Ryder was released from his WWE contract.  Now he is no longer a WWE Superstar, but he has a very good friend in a high place, and that's Cody.

Cody and Brandi Rhodes are the two people who introduced Zack Ryder to his fiance Chelsea Green. Cody and Ryder are close and when Cody saw that his old friend was released he posted talking about how proud he is of Matt Cardona (Ryder's real life name).

Cody said that he has a rule in wrestling. Anyone who has gotten over can do it again. Ryder is only 34-years-old so he has a long career ahead of him. Rhodes went on to share a very interesting perspective from one of Zack Ryder’s biggest wins.
