Kayfabe is a critical characteristic of pro wrestling. However, all wrestling fans know it’s not feasible to stay in kayfabe all the time. But it doesn’t go unnoticed when wrestlers try to value the continuity of their gimmick. When Cody Rhodes recently made a public appearance outside the arena, he stuck to his kayfabe. And it appears that fans are getting a hang of it.

This happened during the premiere of Rhodes’ documentary, ‘American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes’. Although the event was still connected to the WWE Universe in one way, fans did not expect the wrestler to respect his gimmick even on the red carpet.

Cody Rhodes is selling his SummerSlam match
The American Nightmare’s rivalry with The Beast Incarnate started after WrestleMania 39 this year. While Rhodes was able to bag the victory for the first time at Backlash, Brock Lesnar got the best of him at the Night of Champions. However, the former wrestler was not seen inside the ring for a long time. But now that the duo was back on track with the rivalry, Rhodes would be able to settle the 1-1 score he was so worried about.
But this satisfaction didn’t come without Rhodes’ broken arm.

When Lesnar returned to WWE after the NoC, he came in with a vengeful spirit. The Conqueror assaulted Rhodes again to reinjure his arm, which had only healed recently. This also gave him an upper hand prior to their SummerSlam match because focusing on recovery, Cody Rhodes might not be able to train efficiently. And this fan wishes him luck for the rematch against all odds.
The following fans are appreciating the 38-year-old for valuing the storyline continuity. And moreover, for his commitment to the character.
If there’s one thing you can say about Cody he definitely commits lol https://t.co/nZO2S6bSc6
