Cody Rhodes shared a poignant moment with WWE fans during a recent show, marking what he called the “memorializing” of the last-ever wrestling event at the James Brown Arena in WWE Augusta.
As he gears up for WrestleMania, where he faces the daunting task of defeating a formidable duo in Roman Reigns and The Rock, Rhodes reflected on the significance of the upcoming match.
Not only must he triumph over Reigns to clinch the title, but he must also overcome the formidable team on the event’s first night. Failure would leave him at a severe disadvantage under the Bloodline Rules outlined by The Rock.
Despite the challenges ahead, Rhodes found a positive start by defeating Drew McIntyre at the WWE Augusta event. Following the match, he took a moment to address the audience, acknowledging the historical significance of the occasion as the final wrestling show at the James Brown Arena, which is scheduled to close its doors in June 2024.
In an emotional post-match promo, Rhodes expressed gratitude for sharing the milestone with the fans.
“We got to have the time of our lives. You guys know this is the last wrestling show ever in this arena. We got to celebrate that together because this is the biggest crowd this arena has ever had for pro wrestling sports entertainment. So what do we do, we got to memorialize the situation,” he remarked.
Continuing the commemoration, Rhodes engaged with the crowd, taking photos from different angles to capture the special moment.
However, amidst the emotional farewell, Rhodes faces another challenge after The Rock’s recent insults directed at him and his family on SmackDown. With The Rock’s disparaging remarks about his mother, Rhodes is compelled to respond.

Despite the distractions, Rhodes remains focused on his quest for the World Heavyweight Championship, with his recent victory over McIntyre raising questions about his intentions moving forward.
With the WrestleMania showdown looming and tensions escalating, Rhodes must navigate the emotional and physical challenges ahead as he prepares to confront his adversaries in the ring.
