Cody Rhodes has become a fan favorite ever since he came back to WWE. This journey of his started back in 2022. When he rejoined the promotion on 2nd April at WrestleMania 38, he made Seth Rollins his arch-nemesis. Their rivalry concluded a couple of months later at ‘Hell in a Cell’. There were plenty of iconic things about their match on June 5th and Rhodes’ outfit was arguably one of them.

Fans adored that outfit so much that a multi-million dollar company decided to pay tribute to Rhodes by revisiting that particular outfit. The company preserved the iconic look in an action figure that fans can now keep close to them.

In the current era of action figures, ‘Funko Pop’ has established itself as a ‘giant’ in the industry. With a net worth reaching slightly over $396 Million, there are a number of fans who like to collect their collectibles. The best part about them is the fact that they are widely accepted for all age groups. So, when Funko Pop decided to launch The American Nightmares as a new figure, the company knew the target audience it was going to hit.

Although the ‘Hell in a Cell’ match was unfortunate for Rhodes as he suffered a major injury because of it, Funko Pop decided to recreate his outfit from the day. In a new post on ‘X’, they revealed their new action figure. The 38-year-old looks adorable when turned into a 4-inch collectible.

The collectible even appears to have mesmerizing details like Rhodes’ tattoos and the torn pectoral muscle. It was probably the company’s way of appreciating Rhodes for going on with the match despite facing a major injury.

Cody Rhodes’ move to not stop in the middle of the match due to the injury was indeed risky. In fact, he even called himself a ‘hypocrite’ while recalling the moment earlier this year.

Even though the move that he pulled was risky, fans still appreciated Rhodes for his courage. However, that’s the exact opposite of what the wrestler was thinking about himself. According to the Royal Rumble champion of 2023, he is a hypocrite for not stopping the match in spite of a severe injury.

On WWE The Bump earlier this year, Rhodes revealed that he always advises his own students to never continue a match with an injury. However, things changed completely when he faced the practical side of things. He explained later that he felt responsible for his job as an entertainer and therefore continued the match.. Therefore, he considers himself a hypocrite for not following his own teachings.
