Cody Rhodes WWE News

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes made a special appearance on this week’s “WWE NXT.”

Rhodes, known for his generous gestures, surprised the audience and the NXT roster with a memorable gift for one of the brand’s rising stars.

A Special Gift for Jacy Jayne

During the show, Rhodes encountered Jacy Jayne backstage. Jayne, who recently suffered a broken nose in a match against Thea Hail at the “NXT” Spring Breakin’ event, was in for a surprise.

Rhodes presented Jayne with his iconic “Dashing” Cody Rhodes face mask. This mask holds significant sentimental value as Rhodes wore it during his initial WWE run after sustaining a similar injury in a match with Rey Mysterio.

The Importance of the Mask

The “Dashing” mask is not just a piece of memorabilia. Rhodes famously used the mask as both a protective gear and a weapon.

He has previously mentioned that the mask saved his life after a brutal kick to the face from Randy Orton. For Jayne, receiving this mask was a symbolic gesture of resilience and recovery.

Accompanied by Jazmyn Nyx, Jayne was visibly surprised and delighted by this thoughtful gift.

Cody Rhodes’ Interaction with NXT Champion Trick Williams

In addition to his interaction with Jayne, Rhodes took the opportunity to share some wisdom with NXT Champion Trick Williams.

Williams, fresh off his victory against Ethan Page at Battleground, listened intently as Rhodes imparted his experience and advice.

Rhodes also teased an upcoming 25-man battle royale next week on “NXT,” which will determine Williams’ next opponent.

Backstage Reunion with Former AEW Colleagues

Rhodes’ visit to “NXT” was also marked by a reunion with former AEW colleagues. He met with Shawn Spears, Ethan Page, and Lexis King (formerly known as Brian Pillman Jr. in AEW) backstage.

This reunion added a nostalgic touch to the event, highlighting the camaraderie and shared history among these wrestlers.

Looking Ahead: Clash at the Castle

With his NXT visit concluded, Cody Rhodes now shifts his focus to the upcoming Clash at the Castle show in Scotland, where he will face AJ Styles.

This highly anticipated match promises to be a highlight of the event, showcasing the top-tier talent and competitive spirit of WWE.
