Cody Rhodes has risen up to become one of the marquee attractions in WWE. The American Nightmare has been destined for success ever since he returned to the company last year at WrestleMania 38. With one of the biggest matches awaiting his arrival at this year’s Show of Shows, Rhodes might be planning to have a grand entrance in Hollywood.
Cody Rhodes already has a good amount of pyro going off in his current entrance, like a few other WWE superstars. When we add a grand stage like WrestleMania 39, it looks like Rhodes is looking to set do record-setting pyro in his arrival.
The American Nightmare, in a new interview with Amy Nemmity of WrestleJoy, spoke about his idea for his big arrival at WrestleMania. Cody Rhodes even revealed that he never asked for any pyros, even during his time in AEW.
“Oh my gosh. I would have to say, you want to go with the latter, go with the greatest. At this point, I’m gonna be honest, I never asked anybody for pyro. Even in AEW when I was running things, I never asked anybody for pyro, and then it became like a running gag, the amount of pyro, and now it’s not even that, it’s just part of the experience. It’s like the fireworks at Magic Kingdom. You know, this happens at this time and they legit blow up the sky. I think with a WrestleMania on the west coast, in Hollywood, it’s the biggest display that’s ever been done involving a ring. I don’t think greatest can even cover it. I really don’t. I think you’re looking at a record-setting amount of pyro.”
The Prodigal Son made his triumphant return at the 2023 Royal Rumble event and won the name-sake battle royal entering at #30. With his victory, Cody Rhodes secured a world championship match in the main event of WrestleMania 39.
Cody Rhodes now heads to Hollywood to battle the most dominant world champion of the modern era, Roman Reigns. The duo will collide in the Night 2 main event of WrestleMania 39 for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Will Cody Rhodes set the record for the number of pyros? Will it be a grand entrance? Sound off in the comments!
