Cody Rhodes has enhanced his stature in the pro wrestling realm by playing one of the most endearing babyfaces in recent times. The former AEW star indulged in a storied celebration to elevate his standing with fans yet again. Despite the moniker of ‘The American Nightmare,’ Rhodes is the complete opposite in real life. Rhodes’ inherent kindness shines through via the most recent gesture he performed with an AEW star for Brodie Lee’s son.

Brodie Lee, better known as Luke Harper in the WWE, passed away on December 26, 2020. His work in AEW gained him a massive following after the lukewarm reception to his gimmick in the WWE. The 2023 Royal Rumble winner made sure to make Lee’s son feel atop the world by celebrating his birthday in a magical way.

On March 18, 2020, Lee debuted in AEW, and within a few months, he was one of the most over-stars in the company. This starkly contrasted his run in the WWE, where fans did not like his character as Luke Harper of the Wyatt Family. Being allowed to give his promos and add a creative spin to his gimmick allowed Lee to shine.
