Cody Rhodes Declares WWE’s Current Success the “Record Era” of Wrestling

Cody Rhodes is making bold claims about the current state of WWE, calling it the “Record Era” during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. While promoting the highly anticipated return of Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14 at the Nassau Coliseum, Rhodes reflected on WWE’s massive success under its new leadership.

Rhodes didn’t shy away from praising the trio of Triple H, Nick Khan, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, crediting them for WWE’s ongoing record-breaking streak. “We’re in this period of time where there was the Attitude Era, there was the Ruthless Aggression Era, and now we don’t even know what to call this era of WWE,” he told Fallon. “But we should call it the Record Era because we’re just breaking records left and right.”

The American Nightmare likened his role in WWE to that of a quarterback, emphasizing the ease with which management has enabled his success. “The new management team…they’ve made it so easy for me. Whereas I’ve been dubbed the quarterback because they just call the plays, I run the play, and hopefully, we all look good.”

Rhodes’ comments come as excitement builds for Saturday Night’s Main Event, where he’s set to face Kevin Owens in what’s shaping up to be one of the night’s standout matches. Fans will also witness history being made with the crowning of the first-ever Women’s United States Champion and a surprise appearance by a WWE Hall of Famer.

With over 10,000 tickets already sold, the event is poised to be yet another milestone in WWE’s so-called Record Era. As Rhodes pointed out, this era is defined by breaking barriers and elevating the company to unprecedented heights.
