“I Admire the Commitment”: Cody Rhodes Wins Hearts for Successfully Maintaining Kayfabe in a Very Intimate Family Function

The definition, passion, and commitment of pro wrestlers make an entertainment saga real to the point of blurring the line between script and reality. That’s all about professional wrestling in a nutshell. Cody Rhodes, being a top babyface for WWE doesn’t go out of the norm rather, he chose to take this practice to a whole different level.

Ever since Rhodes back got his feet back in the promotion last year, he rose to greater fame due to the massive push he received. But then the company suddenly pulled off their contradictory card by snubbing Rhodes at WrestleMania 39 despite immense expectations of at least half of the WWE Universe. It was possibly because they wanted to make him a more deserving champion. The actual plan is to make him prepare for the big title run. However, no matter what is his role, ‘The American Nightmare’ never fails short of dedication.

Cody Rhodes has been selling arm injury since Lesnar’s vicious assault at Raw last month

Rhodes vs Lesnar’s intense rivalry dates back to the infamous Raw after WrestleMania, where the Beast Incarnate double-crossed him. It turned out so aggressive and dramatic that the company needed to put these two in two big matches back to back at Backlash and Night of Champions.

With both picking wins in over each other, the third potential match at SummerSlam is going to be something to look forward to.

Cody Rhodes gave his all to prove himself again. Ahead of their second encounter, Lesnar brutally assaulted him backstage, to the point of smashing his arm with a supposed beer keg. Since then Rhodes has been selling his arm injury pretty flawlessly through all the WWE programming. He stunned fans by reaching out to meet a child with a hand cast as a part of WWE’s Make a Wish program.

It’s safe to say that ‘The American Nightmare’ succeeded in his attempt, as most of the fans seem confused about whether it’s real or it’s just Cody staying keenly devoted to his sport.

They rushed to the comment section to pay respect to him for pulling off the angle so perfectly even beyond the WWE TV.

Some fans literally sold on the idea of his actual injury.

One user even acknowledged Cody’s legendary father, Dusty Rhodes’ practice, to point out the root of his son’s dedication.

This is just another proof of how old-school Cody Rhodes is when it comes to selling a scripted angle. However, we need to see how long he will move forward with his injury and what next awaits for his grudge rivalry with Lesnar.
