Cody looks like an American enemy in an 80's Japanese arcade game😭

The WWE Champion is meant to be the ambassador and face of the WWE, and as far as that goes, Cody is a class act.

This is literally the best interview about wrestling from a non wrestling, main stream source, that i have ever seen. The amount of interest, research and respect that they showed to wrestling is outstanding. I gotta respect it.

When will Akash just admit he’s a wrestling fan and stop using the “my brother tells me about wrestling” gimmick 😂😂

I’m 28 now and I stopped watching WWE at like 13 but I’m gonna go back and watch all of this guy’s recent matches and all the recent events cause he’s THAT cool and likable. I’m a *new* fan.

This has to be my favorite interview I’ve seen Cody do. Heard stories and other BTS never told on camera and the way he explains his whole story is so inspiring. And I love how interested the boys are the whole time. They asked the best questions.

Show business or not, Samantha Irvin announcing Cody as champ at mania, voice cracking and all, was one of the greatest calls in wrestling history

My mom randomly met Cody last week and said he was the nicest guy.

Andrew brushing off Cody’s Peter Rosenberg comment with “he’s a wrestling guy” “I’ve never heard of him” “I’ll have to look him up” he only said that cause he’s really close to Charlemagne the god and Charlemagne and Peter work for rival radio stations.. just something I picked up on had me dying laughing

My Dad went to school with his dad and my sister went to school with his brother, I'm not super into WWE but glad this dude is getting his shine well deserved!

Cody is everything wrestling needed. Leaving WWE, joining bullet club, All In which led to the start of AEW and then returning to WWE to become the guy. I wonder what is to come for the code man.

Class act on the hosts. They seemed well studied for the interview and it makes a world of difference

The father-son legacy Cody is explaining makes his story even more powerful. Wrestling runs in his veins, and he’s managed to honor his father’s memory while carving out his distinct path. Moments like handing the championship belt to his mother aren’t just sentimental; they’re symbolic gestures that resonate deeply with fans who value the family tradition embedded in wrestling’s history. It’s refreshing to see someone in the industry who isn’t just performing but pouring genuine personal emotion into his role!
