Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion, has been making waves in the professional wrestling world with his remarkable comeback story. However, it’s not just his in-ring success that’s turning heads. The American Nightmare has also been pursuing a parallel career in the entertainment industry, with several movie and TV projects under his belt. His latest achievement is a testament to his versatility and commitment to his craft.
Recently, it was announced that Rhodes would be starring in the remake of the classic comedy film, The Naked Gun. The news sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, solidifying Rhodes’ status as a crossover star. But what’s even more impressive is that he’s achieved this milestone while still actively competing in the WWE.
What’s also interesting is that Rhodes has become the first talent under contract to WWE to be represented by WME (William Morris Endeavor), one of the biggest agencies in Hollywood. This development is significant, given that WME acquired WWE in 2023 to merge with UFC into TKO Group Holdings. The fact that Rhodes is now being represented by his employer is a historic first, marking a new era of collaboration between the WWE and the entertainment industry.
Rhodes’ Hollywood credentials are impressive, with notable roles in TV shows like Arrow and reality series Rhodes To The Top, as well as a stint as a judge on Go-Big Show. His versatility and adaptability have earned him recognition beyond the world of professional wrestling.
Meanwhile, back in the WWE, Rhodes is gearing up for a big week. He’s scheduled to appear on SmackDown this Friday night, following his victory over Logan Paul at the King and Queen of the Ring event. Fans are eagerly anticipating what’s next for The American Nightmare, with rumors swirling about his upcoming title defense at Clash at the Castle: Scotland on June 15.
As the WWE looks to the future, it’s clear that Cody Rhodes is leading the charge, both in the ring and on the big screen. His trailblazing path is paving the way for other wrestlers to explore opportunities beyond the squared circle. With his star on the rise, it’s an exciting time to be a fan of The American Nightmare.
