Here’s How Cody Rhodes Plans To Honor Independent Promotions At WrestleMania 39

WWE

The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes is set to attempt to finish his story at WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles this year.

After winning the Royal Rumble, Cody earned a shot at either Roman Reigns or Sami Zayn for the show.

Cody’s journey throughout wrestling has been an important one, with him leaving WWE back in 2016, grinding the independent scene before forming All Elite Wrestling in 2019.

Speaking to Peter Rosenberg on Hot 97, Cody said that he hopes to honor all the independent promotions he worked for during his WrestleMania match, but wearing a weight belt with all their logos.

He said:

“Small spoiler, I guess, I was trying to come up with this idea for a weight belt for a very specific P.L.E. or pay-per-view, whatever you wanna call it where I wrote everybody independent promotion I worked at on it, because that was the most important thing I did was this connection with these fans and getting to know them and grassroots and that became really my bread and butter.”

Roman Reigns is set to face off with Sami Zayn for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the Elimination Chamber this Saturday in Montreal.
