It’s no doubt that Cody Rhodes returned to WWE at WrestleMania 38 to a huge ovation and quickly became a babyface. But the thing that made him iconic was his entrance and gimmick, which was the same as he used outside WWE, i.e. ‘The American Nightmare’. Wrestling fans often react to his entrance every week and recently loved that a current WWE superstar joined Rhodes.
‘The Whoaaa’ of Rhodes’ entrance has become popular as fans love to cheer it at the top of their voice. This time, he got a partner to share this “wholesome” moment.

Cody Rhodes’s new partner for entrance
On 15th April 2023, WWE hosted Saturday Night’s Main Event In Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The main event saw Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens & Matt Riddle facing Imperium, i.e. WWE Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser, and Giovanni Vinci.
However, before the match, Owens joined Rhodes during his entrance to shout ‘Whoaaaa‘ with the crowd. According to WWE, this cheer was so loud that ‘The Prizefighter’ quickly joined the former 2-time Intercontinental Champion. WWE shared the video on Twitter writing, “🗣️🗣️ That #WWERioRancho “whoaaaaa” was so loud that @FightOwensFight had to join in!”

Owens is one of the best talents WWE has ever found. He can be a heel and terrify the fans and also be the crowd’s best friend being a top babyface. A couple of days ago, former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. even said that debuting KO against John Cena was the best decision Vince McMahon ever made.
Rhodes and Owens are currently on the same page in the storyline to bring down The Bloodline. Furthermore, this video shows they are great friends behind the curtain too. While KO and Rhodes enjoyed this moment, the WWE universe, too, loved Owens joining The American Nightmare at the Rio Rancho event.
