During Monday Night Raw, WWE panned to the backstage area where Bayley gave Goldust, son of the departed legend Dusty Rhodes a Christmas present of a teddy bear wearing a polka dot singlet.
She continued, thanking Rhodes for everything he did for the herself and the NXT group of up-and-coming wrestlers.
Rhodes' son Cody, who has since left WWE and exploded onto the indy scene, couldn't help but comment on Twitter with an emotional reaction:
Not gonna' say something mean or blow a whistle. All I can say...is that whoever produced that, I hope they never know what this feels like

There's been plenty of tension between Cody Rhodes and WWE, and using his father's death to get a talent even more over is a questionable tactic at best.
