Months After a Highly Debated Change of Loyalties, Wrestling Sensation Cody Chittum Outshines Opponent in New Threads

Loyalty is as much a part of the sport as the physical prowess displayed on the mat. Sometimes, it even supersedes performance and capabilities. Therefore, when Cody Chittum, a rising star in the wrestling world, decided to change his loyalties, it sent ripples through the community. Chittum’s decision to switch loyalties was not taken lightly, for obvious reasons.

The wrestling sensation had built a reputation and a following in his previous team. However, he felt the need for a change, a new challenge, and a fresh start. This led him to the Cyclones, a team known for its tenacity and spirit. Now, months after this highly debated decision, Chittum has proven that he can shine irrespective of the colors he’s wearing.
