WWE Universe, gather around! As we gear up for an electrifying edition of WWE RAW airing live from the SAP Center in San Jose, California, the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has already given fans a reason to tune in with his latest humorous escapade. Known for his charismatic presence both inside and outside the ring, Rhodes recently featured in a Dude Perfect YouTube video showcasing their new office in Texas.
In a light-hearted moment, the 39-year-old wrestling star attempted to navigate a slide in the office but ended up hilariously stuck, briefly bringing his smooth slide to a clumsy halt. This incident, shared on Rhodes’ Instagram, not only humanized the champion but also served as a reminder of his approachable and playful side, which continues to endear him to fans worldwide.
In-Ring Action: A Recap of WWE SmackDown Antics
The road to WWE Royal Rumble 2025 is heating up, and Cody Rhodes is right at the center of the storm. On the recent episode of WWE SmackDown, Rhodes teamed up with Jimmy Uso to face the formidable duo of Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu. The match took an unexpected turn when Kevin Owens, Rhodes’ upcoming opponent at the Royal Rumble, decided to stir up chaos. Owens’ sudden appearance led to a thrilling chase that ultimately cost Rhodes and Uso the match as Tonga and Fatu seized the opportunity to claim victory.
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter shared his thoughts on the unfolding drama. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s “Smack Talk” podcast, Apter expressed his frustration with the predictable interference by Owens. “Kevin Owens disrupting everything that Cody Rhodes is involved with is getting a little out of hand now,” Apter commented. His sentiments reflected the thoughts of many fans who might prefer a more straightforward buildup to the highly anticipated Ladder match between Rhodes and Owens.
Anticipation Builds for the Royal Rumble
As WWE Royal Rumble 2025 draws near, all eyes are on Cody Rhodes. Despite the comedic slip on the slide, Rhodes remains focused on the challenges ahead. His resilience was on full display last month during WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event, where he successfully defended his title against Kevin Owens. However, the post-match scenario saw Owens launch a brutal attack on Rhodes, underscoring the intense rivalry brewing between the two superstars. This incident not only escalated the stakes for their upcoming Ladder match but also involved WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H, adding another layer of drama to this compelling storyline.
With the Royal Rumble on the horizon, Cody Rhodes is set to defend his title in a match that promises high stakes and even higher action. As the WWE Universe looks forward to this monumental event, Rhodes’ blend of in-ring prowess and charismatic antics continues to make him one of the most compelling figures in professional wrestling today. Fans can only speculate on the outcome of the upcoming Ladder match, but one thing is certain: Cody Rhodes never fails to entertain, whether he’s soaring from the top of a ladder or hilariously navigating a slide.
