• Cody Rhodes Will Honor Indy Wrestling Promotions At WrestleMania 39
2023 Men’s Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes will challenge for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 39.
He’ll either face Roman Reigns or Sami Zayn, depending on the result of Reigns vs. Zayn at Elimination Chamber 2023.
During an interview with Peter Rosenberg of HOT 97, The American Nightmare revealed that he plans on honoring every indy wrestling promotion that he worked for, by putting their name on his weight belt at WrestleMania 39.
Below is what the son of Dusty Rhodes said:
“Small spoiler, I guess, I was trying to come up with this idea for a weight belt for a very specific PLE or pay-per-view, whatever you wanna call it, where I wrote every independent promotion I worked at on it, because that was the most important thing I did was this connection with these fans and getting to know them and grassroots and that became really my bread and butter.”
Cody later confirmed that the PLE he’s talking about is WrestleMania Hollywood.
