One of the biggest babyfaces in the modern era of professional wrestling is Cody Rhodes. As he says in the opening lines of his entrance theme, wrestling indeed has more than one royal family. The American Nightmare is part of one such royal family. The Rhodes family has been in the wrestling business for over five decades. Cody Rhodes has wrestling in his blood.
Recently, a video surfaced on the internet of the American Nightmare wrestling in his high school. Cody Rhodes took to Twitter to react to the footage. Rhodes mentioned that even back in those days he was working to perfect the ‘Half Nelson’ signature move.
“Working that half Nelson!” Cody Rhodes tweeted.
Currently, the winner of the 2023 and 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble Match is en route to finish his story. But he recently hit a big speed bump in his journey, it was the arrival of The People’s Champion The Rock. Ever since The Great One returned, he has been claiming that finally, professional wrestling is cool again. The Rock has also turned heel in the process.
A fan recently took to Twitter to mention that one of the reasons for fans to be more invested in professional wrestling currently is because of Cody Rhodes.
The American Nightmare replied by mentioning that he is incredibly lucky to have gotten the opportunity to do everything he has ever done in the world of professional wrestling.
“I’ve been incredibly lucky ♥️ Whether in the drivers seat, passenger seat, backseat, wherever on the journey I knew when I walked into that first Starrcast that the game was changing for all locker rooms Rock isn’t wrong when he says wrestling is cool again… it has been. Renaissance,” Cody Rhodes tweeted.
Can Rhodes finish his story this year?
