Cody Rhodes has become the biggest star in pro-wrestling today. He is main eventing WrestleMania and PLEs in WWE, getting roles in Hollywood projects, brand deals, all indicating that he is doing pretty awesome professionally. Recently, Kenny Omega revealed his thoughts about The American Nightmare while detailing a recent incident that happened in their personal life.
The Prodigal Son is set to star in high profile Street Fighter live-action film later this year. He is playing the role of Guile, and his first look from the movie broke the internet a few months ago. Kenny Omega talked about the time when it was announced that Rhodes would be playing that role in the star-studded film.
Speaking on Fall Damage, The Cleaner said that he DM’d The American Nightmare to congratulate him on his Guile role announcement. He added that Cody believes the ‘old Omega’ would have been jealous of his current success. It hinted at how much the relationship between the two stars has evolved since their early days together in pro-wrestling.
“I remember one of the first things I did when it was released that Cody was going to play Guile. I gave him a message and I said to him, I said, ‘Hey, hey, Coats. I said, I just want to say, congrats.’ He said, ‘I know the old me would have been just fuming. He would have been jealous. He would have been upset that you got this role.’ I says, ‘But I’m just excited and happy for you,’” said Omega. [H/T:Ringside News]

Cody Rhodes was involved in a major brawl on WWE SmackDown
Cody Rhodes is set to main event WrestleMania this year as well, against his longtime friend Randy Orton. The Viper had a sadistic heel turn a few weeks ago, where he attacked The Prodigal Son mercilessly. However, this week, Rhodes made his anticipated return to SmackDown to take down Orton.
The American Nightmare stormed the ring to face off against The Legend Killer. However, WWE security intervened to keep the two stars away from each other ahead of WrestleMania 42. But Cody Rhodes was determined to unleash fury on his former mentor once and for all last night on the blue brand.
WrestleMania is less than a month away, and fans are excited to see what is in store for Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. People have high expectations with The Apex Predator’s heel turn from here on. Therefore, it puts The American Nightmare in a position to level up to match his opponent at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
