But before the Rose Ceremony, Aaron confronted fellow The Bachelorette bachelor Cody Menk in an angry manner, and viewers weren't provided any context behind their feud.
"I don't like you, bro. Like, I've never liked you, and that's fine. We don't have to talk at all. And it's not my fault I don't like you," Aaron told Cody in private.

Cody replied, "Well, you don't like me, so that is your fault," to which Aaron countered, "I'm literally just telling you exactly what's up."
Cody appeared confused and responded, "Alright, I don't agree with anything you said. I don't think there was a need for that at all."
Cody told the cameras he didn't know what Aaron was talking about, so there will certainly be more from these two when The Bachelorette continues.
ABC called Aaron "a strapping young man," adding that there is more to him "than meets the eye."
Will Katie be allowed to see all that Aaron has to offer or will Katie be blinded by the drama?
