Cody Rhodes honored his father’s memory by finishing his story at WrestleMania XL. However, not the entire tribute was paid off through one victory. WWE’s three new heads helped The American Nightmare in carrying on his father’s legacy. Not only did they help him by booking him as the new champion, but they also gifted Rhodes something very close to his heart.

In a recent interview, the WWE superstar showed his gratitude for Triple H, Nick Khan, and Bruce Prichard. He revealed that the popular Rolex watch that he had been spotted sporting was a gift from them, honoring his father’s sacrifice.

Dusty Rhodes wore a giant gold Rolex watch with a Jubilee bracelet. The wrestling legend had to pawn his precious accessory to pay the fee for his youngest son’s acting school. After he passed away, Cody Rhodes asked for it, but could not trace it back to its current location. The three new WWE heads found the exact same model with the same serial number as the old watch and gifted it to the champion.

Cody Rhodes said in the interview with Good Morning Britain, “I mean this was all I ever wanted and then I come back into what we call, the gorilla position, the backstage area, and the new three heads of WWE gave it to me and I [was] just blown away.

When fans spotted the superstar wearing the watch, there were rumors that it was a replica of Dusty Rhodes’ iconic Rolex. But now the youngest Rhodes has confirmed it himself.
