Cody Rhodes is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable WWE superstars of the modern era. The Prodigal Son gained immense popularity upon his return to WWE at WrestleMania 38 after his exit from the rival promotion, AEW back in 2022.
Furthermore, The American Nightmare fulfilled his lifelong dream of winning a WWE Championship, a championship that his father, the late Dusty Rhodes never held, and “Finished his Story” at WrestleMania 40.
Moreover, Cody Rhodes‘ road to glory saw him being embroiled in a historic feud with The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns which culminated with The American Nightmare dethroning The Head of the Table for the Undisputed WWE Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 40 to the thunderous ovation from the WWE Universe. Furthermore, Cody Rhodes has now solidified himself as one of the headliners in the global juggernaut for years to come.
How did Cody draw a comparison from the Michael Jackson documentary for himself and Roman Reigns?
During The Prodigal Son’s appearance on the Sports Illustrated podcast, Cody Rhodes drew comparisons from the popular Michael Jackson documentary, “We Are the World” for himself and his arch-rival, Roman Reigns.
During the interview, The host and Cody Rhodes started to draw comparisons between “We Are the World” documentary and the WrestleMania 40 main event story between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. Cody stated that Reigns might be the character of Lionel and Rhodes was Quincy since Quincy was trying to get the music together and similarly, The American Nightmare had his sights set on becoming the Undisputed World Champion.
“I think you got to give Roman if we’re looking at that documentary and the importance of the people in it you really, I guess you want to be Quincy, Lionel or MJ [Michael Jackson] and I want to say that maybe Roman and I shared the Lionel, the line you know or maybe he was Lionel and I was Quincy because I was trying to get the music together.”
Following his crushing defeat, Roman Reigns is yet to appear on WWE television programming. On the other hand, Cody Rhodes is riding the wave of momentum and is determined to be a fighting champion. However, there could still be a possibility to witness the rubber match between Rhodes and Reigns down the line in the subject to find out the superior WWE flagship star among the duo.
