Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,568 --> 00:00:04,070
So what do we want to talk
about?
2
00:00:04,871 --> 00:00:08,541
Cody Rhodes, the face of WWE's
modern era.
3
00:00:09,175 --> 00:00:15,647
Once undesirable, become
undeniable,
4
00:00:15,648 --> 00:00:20,320
and now WWE champion.
5
00:00:21,121 --> 00:00:23,922
The American Nightmare is
truly the definition of the word
6
00:00:23,923 --> 00:00:24,924
"Superstar."
7
00:00:25,458 --> 00:00:29,662
I gave my soul to this ring
and these people
8
00:00:29,663 --> 00:00:31,765
a long time ago.
9
00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:35,401
The son of a Hall of Famer is
well on his way
10
00:00:35,402 --> 00:00:36,935
to becoming one himself.
11
00:00:36,936 --> 00:00:37,770
He is one.
12
00:00:37,771 --> 00:00:40,039
He is the American Nightmare.
13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,443
Today we celebrate the career
defining moments of Cody Rhodes.
14
00:00:44,444 --> 00:00:47,846
Cody Rhodes has gone back to
back.
15
00:00:47,847 --> 00:00:54,119
This is WWE's Greatest Moments.
16
00:00:54,854 --> 00:00:56,188
Acknowledge me.
17
00:00:56,189 --> 00:00:57,389
My God.
18
00:00:57,390 --> 00:00:59,558
Stone Cole with a beer bath.
19
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:02,161
This is surreal.
20
00:01:02,162 --> 00:01:03,228
Look at this.
21
00:01:03,229 --> 00:01:04,531
He slammed him.
22
00:01:10,270 --> 00:01:13,672
Welcome, everyone to WWE's
Greatest Moments.
23
00:01:13,673 --> 00:01:16,842
I'm Michael Cole, and on this
edition, we take a look back at
24
00:01:16,843 --> 00:01:20,612
one of the premiere superstars
of Sports Entertainment today,
25
00:01:20,613 --> 00:01:23,283
The American Nightmare Cody
Rhodes.
26
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:27,720
Cody began his WWE journey in
2007,
27
00:01:27,721 --> 00:01:30,122
and audiences were immediately
impressed by the son
28
00:01:30,123 --> 00:01:34,760
of WWE Hall of Famer the
American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.
29
00:01:34,761 --> 00:01:37,363
It wouldn't take long for Cody
Rhodes to carve out
30
00:01:37,364 --> 00:01:39,164
his own path to greatness.
31
00:01:39,165 --> 00:01:42,334
But there was one point in his
young career where his ego may
32
00:01:42,335 --> 00:01:43,869
have gotten the better of him.
33
00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:46,972
The narcissistic, Dashing Cody
Rhodes never met
34
00:01:46,973 --> 00:01:48,540
a mirror he didn't like.
35
00:01:48,541 --> 00:01:49,708
Dashing.
36
00:01:49,709 --> 00:01:52,244
But tragedy struck on an
episode of SmackDown
37
00:01:52,245 --> 00:01:55,247
when Rey Mysterio broke the nose
of the dashing one,
38
00:01:55,248 --> 00:01:58,051
leaving Cody less than perfect.
39
00:02:00,653 --> 00:02:03,122
Rey Mysterio shattering
Cody Rhodes face,
40
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:05,524
causing Rhodes to have
reconstructive surgery,
41
00:02:05,525 --> 00:02:07,726
forcing him to wear
a hideous mask.
42
00:02:07,727 --> 00:02:09,194
He's no longer dashing.
43
00:02:09,195 --> 00:02:11,730
It's a singles match on a pay
per view at WrestleMania.
44
00:02:11,731 --> 00:02:14,333
It's also my first singles match
on a pay per view.
45
00:02:14,334 --> 00:02:15,267
It was a banger.
46
00:02:15,268 --> 00:02:16,402
It was a doozy.
47
00:02:16,403 --> 00:02:19,405
All that anger just pouring
out of Rhodes tonight,
48
00:02:19,406 --> 00:02:21,573
directed at Mysterio.
49
00:02:21,574 --> 00:02:25,411
We connected right away, and
WrestleMania 27
50
00:02:25,412 --> 00:02:27,247
was a really fun match.
51
00:02:27,847 --> 00:02:30,650
Precarious situation here for
both of these superstars.
52
00:02:31,051 --> 00:02:31,950
Wow.
53
00:02:31,951 --> 00:02:33,119
And now Cody Rhodes gets the
best of it.
54
00:02:33,653 --> 00:02:35,587
Really all came together for
me, and uh-
55
00:02:35,588 --> 00:02:38,324
as a performer know right
away we're onto something.
56
00:02:40,226 --> 00:02:41,728
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh.
57
00:02:42,329 --> 00:02:43,362
No no no no no no no no no.
58
00:02:43,363 --> 00:02:44,163
Oh, oh,
wait a second.
59
00:02:44,164 --> 00:02:46,499
Cody's mask is-is off.
60
00:02:47,033 --> 00:02:48,400
Cody Rhodes face has been
exposed.
61
00:02:48,401 --> 00:02:48,967
Yeah he's vulnerable.
62
00:02:48,968 --> 00:02:50,270
Cody is very vulnerable.
63
00:02:51,805 --> 00:02:53,172
And here comes Rey Mysterio.
64
00:02:53,173 --> 00:02:56,443
Oh, the referee's attention was
averted.
65
00:02:57,444 --> 00:02:58,610
Yes, Cross Rhodes.
66
00:02:58,611 --> 00:03:01,880
Cross Rhodes.
67
00:03:01,881 --> 00:03:03,683
Retribution for Cody.
68
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:07,119
Cody wanted to create his own
path,
69
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,755
and that was a great
beginning for him.
70
00:03:11,257 --> 00:03:12,558
The contributions to the
Rhodes family
71
00:03:12,559 --> 00:03:14,426
cannot be denied with the
American Dream
72
00:03:14,427 --> 00:03:17,730
Dusty Rhodes as the patriarch
and his brother Goldust,
73
00:03:17,731 --> 00:03:20,432
the strength of Cody's family
were never tighter than in
74
00:03:20,433 --> 00:03:23,602
2013, when their very
livelihoods were threatened
75
00:03:23,603 --> 00:03:24,903
by the Authority-
76
00:03:24,904 --> 00:03:26,338
The Hounds of Justice-
77
00:03:26,339 --> 00:03:27,973
The Shield.
78
00:03:27,974 --> 00:03:29,174
Cody-
79
00:03:29,175 --> 00:03:30,210
You're fired.
80
00:03:34,014 --> 00:03:36,849
We'd like to give you the
opportunity
81
00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:38,550
to gain your employment,
82
00:03:38,551 --> 00:03:44,490
if you can beat Seth Rollins and
Roman Reigns at Battleground.
83
00:03:44,491 --> 00:03:50,463
If you lose, you will never
work in the WWE again.
84
00:03:51,331 --> 00:03:54,433
The legacy of the Rhodes
family's at stake.
85
00:03:54,434 --> 00:03:56,602
Rhodes family walked
into Battleground
86
00:03:56,603 --> 00:03:59,605
against The Shield,
which nobody had beaten.
87
00:03:59,606 --> 00:04:02,007
It was very emotional and real.
88
00:04:02,008 --> 00:04:05,244
There was something about the
energy of potentially never
89
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:08,680
being able to step foot in the
WWE again if we did not succeed,
90
00:04:08,681 --> 00:04:10,450
and then getting our jobs back
if we did.
91
00:04:10,850 --> 00:04:14,521
It is a must win situation for
Cody and Goldust tonight.
92
00:04:15,922 --> 00:04:18,457
We just had a great chemistry
with them for whatever reason.
93
00:04:18,458 --> 00:04:19,391
Oh look at this.
94
00:04:19,392 --> 00:04:21,627
Alabama slam.
95
00:04:21,628 --> 00:04:25,097
To be out there not only
judged by the entire arena,
96
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:29,836
be judged luminary individuals
like my brother and my father.
97
00:04:30,403 --> 00:04:32,371
The American Dream.
98
00:04:32,372 --> 00:04:34,039
The bionic elbow.
99
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,207
And we're left with a legal man.
100
00:04:35,208 --> 00:04:36,475
Rollins and Cody.
101
00:04:36,476 --> 00:04:37,976
Rollins looking to steal one.
102
00:04:37,977 --> 00:04:38,977
Cody, not this way.
103
00:04:38,978 --> 00:04:40,045
Cody stays in it.
104
00:04:40,046 --> 00:04:41,080
It's up to you, Cody.
105
00:04:41,081 --> 00:04:42,448
Cody stays in it.
106
00:04:42,449 --> 00:04:43,015
He's got it.
107
00:04:43,016 --> 00:04:43,649
It's up to you Cody.
108
00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:44,483
Cody's got him.
109
00:04:44,484 --> 00:04:46,352
Cross Rhodes.
110
00:04:46,353 --> 00:04:47,420
It's for your family.
111
00:04:48,855 --> 00:04:50,155
The Rhodes have done it.
112
00:04:50,156 --> 00:04:52,524
Cody and Dustin are going back
to work.
113
00:04:52,525 --> 00:04:54,360
Battleground with my two kids-
114
00:04:54,361 --> 00:04:56,062
Emotionally, that night, I was
drained.
115
00:04:56,730 --> 00:04:58,564
That was the most
real emotion,
116
00:04:58,565 --> 00:05:00,066
raw emotion that I ever had in
my life.
117
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,802
That night in Buffalo was a
really special, special night.
118
00:05:03,803 --> 00:05:05,604
It was just a beautiful
experience.
119
00:05:05,605 --> 00:05:08,273
And to be carrying the torch for
the family,
120
00:05:08,274 --> 00:05:10,410
it's one of the most blessed
things I was ever part of.
121
00:05:15,048 --> 00:05:17,216
The Judgment Day has certainly
left their mark in the last few
122
00:05:17,217 --> 00:05:19,084
years as one of the most lethal,
123
00:05:19,085 --> 00:05:21,253
dominant factions
of the modern era.
124
00:05:21,254 --> 00:05:23,522
The best course of action is to
stay on their good side.
125
00:05:23,523 --> 00:05:26,325
I want Main Event Jey Uso in
the Judgment Day.
126
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:28,761
And when Main Event Jey Uso
refused to join them,
127
00:05:28,762 --> 00:05:31,331
the group let him know he had
made a huge mistake.
128
00:05:32,966 --> 00:05:33,799
Cody Rhodes-
129
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,867
going after the Judgment Day.
130
00:05:34,868 --> 00:05:36,035
Coming to the rescue
131
00:05:36,036 --> 00:05:37,636
was none other than
Cody Rhodes,
132
00:05:37,637 --> 00:05:40,339
leading to Fastlane 2023,
when the unlikely pair took
133
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:42,474
on Finn Bálor and Damian
Priest
134
00:05:42,475 --> 00:05:45,945
for the undisputed tag team
titles.
135
00:05:48,048 --> 00:05:51,117
And here we go now for the
undisputed tag team titles.
136
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:54,520
Jey and Cody-
137
00:05:54,521 --> 00:05:56,522
Two individual guys.
138
00:05:56,523 --> 00:05:58,524
Cody and Jey, have been
adversaries most
139
00:05:58,525 --> 00:06:00,492
of their career together.
140
00:06:00,493 --> 00:06:01,594
And it was lightning in a
bottle.
141
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:04,797
Uso and Cody, obviously
a game plan
142
00:06:04,798 --> 00:06:06,098
coming into this match.
143
00:06:06,099 --> 00:06:08,600
Anything that could get the
fans excited to scream and yell,
144
00:06:08,601 --> 00:06:09,602
that's what we live for.
145
00:06:10,937 --> 00:06:12,439
Here comes Jey.
146
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,507
Double team
147
00:06:15,508 --> 00:06:16,810
Cody Cutter.
148
00:06:19,179 --> 00:06:20,480
We got new tag team champions.
149
00:06:22,716 --> 00:06:24,116
That's a-that's a special
moment, man,
150
00:06:24,117 --> 00:06:26,485
and what a team to be a part of, man.
151
00:06:26,486 --> 00:06:29,689
And I got to sit back and-
and appreciate everything.
152
00:06:30,357 --> 00:06:33,026
And the celebration now
underway.
153
00:06:34,928 --> 00:06:35,994
At the return of Saturday
Night's Main Event
154
00:06:35,995 --> 00:06:37,796
in December of 2024,
155
00:06:37,797 --> 00:06:40,799
Kevin Owens failed to capture
the WWE Championship
156
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,067
against Cody Rhodes,
157
00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:46,472
who in retro form was defending
the famed Winged Eagle title.
158
00:06:46,473 --> 00:06:49,008
Enraged by the loss, Owens
delivered a devastating package
159
00:06:49,009 --> 00:06:52,978
piledriver to the champ, putting
him out of action for weeks.
160
00:06:52,979 --> 00:06:54,847
This lunatic, Kevin Owens.
161
00:06:54,848 --> 00:06:56,382
What the hell is wrong with you?
162
00:06:56,383 --> 00:07:00,052
So the rematch was set to take
place at the 2025 Royal Rumble
163
00:07:00,053 --> 00:07:01,620
in a ladder match.
164
00:07:01,621 --> 00:07:03,589
Both titles will be hung high
above the ring.
165
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:06,993
The superstar that retrieved
them would be declared champion.
166
00:07:09,329 --> 00:07:11,797
There are over
70,000 people
167
00:07:11,798 --> 00:07:15,034
at Lucas Oil Stadium
in Indianapolis.
168
00:07:15,035 --> 00:07:16,568
Cody Rhodes is the champion.
169
00:07:16,569 --> 00:07:17,971
Kevin Owens is the challenger.
170
00:07:18,638 --> 00:07:20,072
Cody and Kevin's ladder match
171
00:07:20,073 --> 00:07:22,307
brought like 4 or 5 different
moments throughout
172
00:07:22,308 --> 00:07:25,444
the match, where I was visibly
and audibly asking people
173
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:27,279
around me, "Are they okay?"
174
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,749
They are determined on
punishing each other.
175
00:07:30,750 --> 00:07:32,752
I had seen ladder matches
before,
176
00:07:33,687 --> 00:07:36,955
but never to the extent was
the ladder used
177
00:07:36,956 --> 00:07:38,491
like those two used it.
178
00:07:38,958 --> 00:07:40,727
He's taking a beating tonight.
179
00:07:41,327 --> 00:07:42,561
Cody-
180
00:07:42,562 --> 00:07:46,198
he's the face of a company to
be at this point in his life
181
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:48,435
and take the physical
risks that he takes-
182
00:07:50,904 --> 00:07:51,938
It's crazy.
183
00:07:53,206 --> 00:07:55,641
There's going to be those
matches that require you to do
184
00:07:55,642 --> 00:07:57,644
something that scares you to
death.
185
00:07:59,713 --> 00:08:01,748
Fisherman buster through
the ladder.
186
00:08:03,183 --> 00:08:04,217
Nothing more real than that.
187
00:08:05,151 --> 00:08:06,886
Looking for that package
piledriver.
188
00:08:10,590 --> 00:08:12,959
Kevin Owens turned inside out.
189
00:08:13,393 --> 00:08:14,760
I think the very end is
probably going to
190
00:08:14,761 --> 00:08:16,261
be a big reason why people are
191
00:08:16,262 --> 00:08:17,529
going to talk about it for a
long time,
192
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:18,765
because he tried
to decapitate me.
193
00:08:19,165 --> 00:08:20,899
Cody Rhodes wins.
194
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:22,901
One of the most sickening
matches
195
00:08:22,902 --> 00:08:24,004
we have ever witnessed.
196
00:08:25,305 --> 00:08:29,141
There are certain scenes in
WWE that you will never forget.
197
00:08:29,142 --> 00:08:31,944
Cody Rhodes is celebrating in
the near distance
198
00:08:31,945 --> 00:08:34,647
and Kevin Owens is
there suffering.
199
00:08:35,081 --> 00:08:36,082
What an image.
200
00:08:39,386 --> 00:08:41,987
As WWE continues to grow and
expand into our international
201
00:08:41,988 --> 00:08:46,725
markets, there was much
anticipation for Backlash 2024
202
00:08:46,726 --> 00:08:48,795
taking place in Lyon, France.
203
00:08:49,596 --> 00:08:52,631
As newly crowned undisputed WWE
champion, it was time for Cody
204
00:08:52,632 --> 00:08:55,601
Rhodes to defend his title
against the best of the best.
205
00:08:55,602 --> 00:08:59,372
Enter the number one contender,
The Phenomenal AJ Styles.
206
00:09:02,442 --> 00:09:04,243
Backlash in
Lyon, France.
207
00:09:04,244 --> 00:09:07,112
Here we go.
208
00:09:07,113 --> 00:09:09,014
Can I describe Backlash?
209
00:09:09,015 --> 00:09:10,049
Oh, man.
210
00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:10,916
Wow.
211
00:09:10,917 --> 00:09:11,984
That's-
212
00:09:11,985 --> 00:09:14,587
That is about the best way I can
describe it as wow.
213
00:09:17,691 --> 00:09:20,960
That song echoing through
Lyon, France.
214
00:09:22,796 --> 00:09:27,633
What a main event for the WWE
Championship.
215
00:09:27,634 --> 00:09:31,470
AJ Styles felt like a random
opponent to be the first person
216
00:09:31,471 --> 00:09:35,107
for Cody to get after such a
huge moment at WrestleMania.
217
00:09:35,108 --> 00:09:38,277
AJ and Cody just had an amazing
chemistry.
218
00:09:38,278 --> 00:09:40,112
They just work really well
together.
219
00:09:40,113 --> 00:09:42,414
So as a result, what you got to
see was just
220
00:09:42,415 --> 00:09:45,284
an awesomely executed match,
221
00:09:45,285 --> 00:09:46,519
but it was also violent.
222
00:09:47,487 --> 00:09:49,122
How much does Cody have left?
223
00:09:50,156 --> 00:09:51,925
Cody's fired up.
224
00:09:52,525 --> 00:09:53,727
Cross Rhodes.
225
00:09:56,996 --> 00:09:58,298
Cody retains.
226
00:09:59,699 --> 00:10:02,167
A lot of times when guys get
their first title run,
227
00:10:02,168 --> 00:10:04,837
you're like, "Oh, we'll see
how he does."
228
00:10:04,838 --> 00:10:07,473
That night he created
something memorable.
229
00:10:07,474 --> 00:10:09,041
That's what this business is
about.
230
00:10:09,042 --> 00:10:10,275
He can handle it.
231
00:10:10,276 --> 00:10:11,711
He can deliver.
232
00:10:13,913 --> 00:10:15,681
Now on to our fifth selection.
233
00:10:15,682 --> 00:10:19,451
Cody Rhodes would enter himself
into the 2023 Royal Rumble with
234
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:23,289
a clear focus being victory and
headlining WrestleMania.
235
00:10:26,092 --> 00:10:27,794
Main event spot at WrestleMania
on the line.
236
00:10:29,396 --> 00:10:31,364
Here comes
number 30.
237
00:10:34,801 --> 00:10:37,570
The American Nightmare is
here.
238
00:10:39,472 --> 00:10:41,507
The pomp and circumstance.
239
00:10:41,508 --> 00:10:44,243
The emotion is all great, but
now it's time to get
240
00:10:44,244 --> 00:10:45,577
down to business.
241
00:10:45,578 --> 00:10:48,882
Enter at number 30 and try to
win the Royal Rumble.
242
00:10:51,451 --> 00:10:52,351
There it is.
243
00:10:52,352 --> 00:10:53,719
Cody Cutter.
244
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,487
One of my biggest dreams as a
kid ever was-
245
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:57,022
I want to win the Royal Rumble.
246
00:10:57,023 --> 00:11:01,026
The WWE Championship, to me is
without a doubt
247
00:11:01,027 --> 00:11:02,628
the richest prize in the game.
248
00:11:02,629 --> 00:11:05,899
Logan Paul sent over the top
rope and it's down to two.
249
00:11:10,403 --> 00:11:11,270
Cody Rhodes
250
00:11:11,271 --> 00:11:13,106
Cross Rhodes to Gunther.
251
00:11:13,873 --> 00:11:16,241
Gunther eliminated.
252
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:21,346
The American Nightmare one step
closer to the American dream.
253
00:11:21,347 --> 00:11:23,515
It's about getting the one
title-
254
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:25,150
no one in my family did.
255
00:11:25,151 --> 00:11:27,954
If you're the WWE champion, you
are the top of every mountain.
256
00:11:28,688 --> 00:11:31,925
Finish the story at
WrestleMania.
257
00:11:34,561 --> 00:11:38,831
2023 The American Nightmare The
Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar
258
00:11:38,832 --> 00:11:40,699
was on a collision course.
259
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:42,201
You wanted a fight.
260
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:44,470
The two waged war inside the
squared circle
261
00:11:44,471 --> 00:11:46,605
and each held one win apiece.
262
00:11:46,606 --> 00:11:48,340
You have a victory over me.
263
00:11:48,341 --> 00:11:50,543
I have a victory over you.
264
00:11:51,111 --> 00:11:51,745
Cody's got it.
265
00:11:51,845 --> 00:11:52,544
Cody's got it.
266
00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:54,246
At SummerSlam Brock-
267
00:11:54,247 --> 00:11:55,782
I end this.
268
00:12:01,421 --> 00:12:04,189
Be all smiles now, but
in a matter of moments
269
00:12:04,190 --> 00:12:07,593
he is going to be in a
fight for his life.
270
00:12:07,594 --> 00:12:09,228
I tell people all the time, I
like to feel it.
271
00:12:09,229 --> 00:12:10,662
I like the violence.
272
00:12:10,663 --> 00:12:13,465
Total disregard for Cody's
well-being.
273
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:17,302
That's as violent and physical
and aggressive as it gets.
274
00:12:17,303 --> 00:12:18,304
This is only gonna get worse."
275
00:12:19,205 --> 00:12:19,738
Oh, God.
276
00:12:19,739 --> 00:12:20,739
Oh, God.
277
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:24,109
F-5 right through the table.
278
00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:25,944
Damn it, Cody, just stay down.
279
00:12:25,945 --> 00:12:28,147
The words I would use are
earning it.
280
00:12:28,148 --> 00:12:29,948
Brock Lesnar makes you earn it.
281
00:12:29,949 --> 00:12:30,949
Looking for the F-5.
282
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:34,586
Cody Rhodes able to counter into
a Cross Rhodes.
283
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:36,322
Cover.
284
00:12:36,990 --> 00:12:38,590
Cody Rhodes does it.
285
00:12:40,093 --> 00:12:43,330
Cody Rhodes conquered the
Conqueror.
286
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:47,599
He wins at SummerSlam, and
that was one of the legacy
287
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,769
building moments for Cody
Rhodes.
288
00:12:50,637 --> 00:12:52,738
Cody Rhodes took one massive
289
00:12:52,739 --> 00:12:56,709
step toward the top of the
proverbial mountain.
290
00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:59,712
How many times have you seen
Brock Lesnar show respect
291
00:12:59,713 --> 00:13:00,913
to an opponent?
292
00:13:00,914 --> 00:13:02,214
I don't think he ever did.
293
00:13:02,215 --> 00:13:04,083
But he did to Cody.
294
00:13:04,084 --> 00:13:06,719
And that just surprised that I
got at the end of the match
295
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,521
with his respect was special.
296
00:13:09,189 --> 00:13:14,594
And with that handshake, the
American Nightmare has arrived.
297
00:13:18,498 --> 00:13:22,267
In 2016, personal differences
between Cody Rhodes and WWE
298
00:13:22,268 --> 00:13:25,471
led to Cody leaving the company
seemingly forever.
299
00:13:25,472 --> 00:13:28,474
In his absence, new superstars
rose to the top of the ranks,
300
00:13:28,475 --> 00:13:30,309
namely Seth Rollins.
301
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:32,678
But as the road to WrestleMania
38 grew shorter,
302
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,414
there appeared to be no opponent
in sight for Rollins.
303
00:13:35,415 --> 00:13:38,718
Seth Rollins is not going to
partake in WrestleMania.
304
00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:41,320
That is until a mystery
opponent was promised
305
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:42,555
at the 11th hour.
306
00:13:45,258 --> 00:13:47,626
Seth Rollins
has no clue
307
00:13:47,627 --> 00:13:50,463
who his opponent
will be here tonight.
308
00:14:02,275 --> 00:14:03,977
Cody.
309
00:14:04,477 --> 00:14:05,979
Oh my God.
310
00:14:10,350 --> 00:14:13,986
My eyes met a lot of people's
eyes and it was
311
00:14:13,987 --> 00:14:16,189
just a beautiful experience.
312
00:14:16,556 --> 00:14:19,025
The prodigal son has returned.
313
00:14:22,095 --> 00:14:23,595
I'm so excited for this match
because I know it's going
314
00:14:23,596 --> 00:14:25,064
to be something awesome.
315
00:14:25,065 --> 00:14:28,834
This has all of the makings of
one hell
316
00:14:28,835 --> 00:14:30,603
of a WrestleMania match.
317
00:14:32,072 --> 00:14:35,307
I think he was the perfect
opponent for me in that match.
318
00:14:35,308 --> 00:14:36,508
And I think you just saw
319
00:14:36,509 --> 00:14:38,310
two of the best all timers
out there trying to push each
320
00:14:38,311 --> 00:14:39,678
other to the limit.
321
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:41,380
I sort of like looking around
and everyone's faces
322
00:14:41,381 --> 00:14:42,448
are just like-
323
00:14:42,449 --> 00:14:43,950
Cross Rhodes.
324
00:14:47,988 --> 00:14:52,424
And Seth 'Freakin' Rollins
WrestleMania dreams
325
00:14:52,425 --> 00:14:55,195
became a nightmare.
326
00:14:56,363 --> 00:14:59,165
I had anticipated I would
never come back to WWE.
327
00:14:59,766 --> 00:15:01,167
It's still surreal to me.
328
00:15:02,035 --> 00:15:04,704
What a moment for Cody Rhodes.
329
00:15:07,707 --> 00:15:09,541
The sheer desire to be the
very best was the driving factor
330
00:15:09,542 --> 00:15:11,710
between Cody Rhodes and the
revolutionary
331
00:15:11,711 --> 00:15:13,946
Seth 'Freakin' Rollins.
332
00:15:13,947 --> 00:15:16,148
After two absolute
classic encounters,
333
00:15:16,149 --> 00:15:18,817
the third match was set, this
time inside
334
00:15:18,818 --> 00:15:21,220
the dangerous Hell in a Cell.
335
00:15:21,221 --> 00:15:24,289
Anyone who's ever stepped foot
in that cell with me
336
00:15:24,290 --> 00:15:29,094
is changed for ever.
337
00:15:29,095 --> 00:15:30,429
The stakes at an all time
high-
338
00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:33,232
Cody Rhodes is training harder
than ever and suffered
339
00:15:33,233 --> 00:15:35,367
a torn pectoral muscle.
340
00:15:35,368 --> 00:15:36,535
Would he compete?
341
00:15:36,536 --> 00:15:37,904
Could he compete?
342
00:15:41,875 --> 00:15:43,909
Cody Rhodes truly has
the weight of the world
343
00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:45,145
on his shoulders
tonight.
344
00:15:46,613 --> 00:15:50,516
Oh my God.
345
00:15:50,517 --> 00:15:52,184
I can't even fathom
346
00:15:52,185 --> 00:15:56,488
the pain being experienced by
Cody Rhodes.
347
00:15:56,489 --> 00:15:58,290
Cody knew that this was an
opportunity.
348
00:15:58,291 --> 00:16:01,460
This is a main event match at
Hell in a Cell.
349
00:16:01,461 --> 00:16:03,829
He couldn't disappoint his fans.
350
00:16:03,830 --> 00:16:05,130
This is just ruthless.
351
00:16:05,131 --> 00:16:06,700
This is gruesome.
352
00:16:07,333 --> 00:16:10,502
For Cody Rhodes to go through
that match and for it to be a
353
00:16:10,503 --> 00:16:14,740
highly entertaining match is
just a testament to what he's
354
00:16:14,741 --> 00:16:17,911
willing to go through in order
to entertain the fans.
355
00:16:19,379 --> 00:16:21,180
The heart of Cody Rhodes
356
00:16:21,181 --> 00:16:24,551
that continues to power
him through this match.
357
00:16:25,752 --> 00:16:27,753
Seemed painful and
looked painful,
358
00:16:27,754 --> 00:16:30,389
and you feel invincible
in that moment.
359
00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:31,156
It was-
360
00:16:31,157 --> 00:16:32,092
It's very surreal.
361
00:16:32,192 --> 00:16:33,793
Like takes you outside of your
body.
362
00:16:34,728 --> 00:16:38,530
Sledge hammer to Rollins.
363
00:16:38,531 --> 00:16:40,066
Has him out on his back.
364
00:16:41,735 --> 00:16:43,335
Unbelievable.
365
00:16:43,336 --> 00:16:44,703
Sometimes you got to go out
there ready
366
00:16:44,704 --> 00:16:46,338
to take it on the chin.
367
00:16:46,339 --> 00:16:49,775
We had drawn all this interest
over Seth and I finishing it.
368
00:16:49,776 --> 00:16:53,178
No human being could have kept
me from getting in the ring.
369
00:16:53,179 --> 00:16:58,550
That was a downright Herculean
effort that we will likely never
370
00:16:58,551 --> 00:17:01,721
see again in a WWE ring.
371
00:17:04,591 --> 00:17:07,926
And now we've reached our
number one moment.
372
00:17:07,927 --> 00:17:11,296
The famed story of Cody Rhodes
was something embedded into the
373
00:17:11,297 --> 00:17:14,600
WWE universe when The American
Nightmare returned
374
00:17:14,601 --> 00:17:17,069
to WWE in 2022.
375
00:17:17,070 --> 00:17:19,772
He wanted to capture the WWE
Championship
376
00:17:19,773 --> 00:17:21,073
that his father never did.
377
00:17:21,074 --> 00:17:23,742
I cannot bestow it upon the
American Dream Dusty Rhodes,
378
00:17:23,743 --> 00:17:26,111
but I certainly can put it
around
379
00:17:26,112 --> 00:17:28,114
the waist of the American
Nightmare.
380
00:17:29,983 --> 00:17:32,818
He had his chance at
WrestleMania 39,
381
00:17:32,819 --> 00:17:34,454
but was unsuccessful.
382
00:17:35,422 --> 00:17:36,623
No.
383
00:17:37,857 --> 00:17:41,060
Now, a year later, he would once
again face the Tribal Chief,
384
00:17:41,061 --> 00:17:44,663
who was now on an historic
run as WWE champion for
385
00:17:44,664 --> 00:17:47,700
over a thousand days, and a
match being contested
386
00:17:47,701 --> 00:17:50,904
under bloodline rules where
anything goes.
387
00:17:56,276 --> 00:17:58,043
It is our main event.
388
00:17:58,044 --> 00:18:00,747
Cody Rhodes hopes
to finish the story.
389
00:18:01,381 --> 00:18:03,083
Biggest night of your life
Cody Rhodes.
390
00:18:03,950 --> 00:18:06,585
Being in that moment, going on
last,
391
00:18:06,586 --> 00:18:08,754
carrying the torch for the
family,
392
00:18:08,755 --> 00:18:10,289
that one's very special.
393
00:18:10,290 --> 00:18:12,592
I worked my entire life for
this.
394
00:18:13,660 --> 00:18:14,526
Ring the bell.
395
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:16,462
And here we go.
396
00:18:16,463 --> 00:18:19,698
Big fight feel in Philadelphia.
397
00:18:19,699 --> 00:18:21,700
This will be contested under
bloodline rules,
398
00:18:21,701 --> 00:18:22,802
which means anything goes.
399
00:18:24,137 --> 00:18:25,271
Jimmy Uso.
400
00:18:26,306 --> 00:18:27,774
Cody can't do it alone, right?
401
00:18:29,376 --> 00:18:30,577
So who do we got?
402
00:18:32,312 --> 00:18:33,380
Oh, yeah.
403
00:18:33,980 --> 00:18:36,583
Cody Rhodes has got some
friends too.
404
00:18:37,017 --> 00:18:39,151
Jimmy and Jey on a collision
course.
405
00:18:39,152 --> 00:18:40,754
Off the stage.
406
00:18:41,187 --> 00:18:43,423
Cody's got chance.
407
00:18:45,392 --> 00:18:47,060
Solo Sikoa.
408
00:18:50,864 --> 00:18:52,098
Oh, yeah.
409
00:18:52,699 --> 00:18:54,067
Cena's coming to get some.
410
00:18:55,835 --> 00:18:57,470
Cena's evened the playing field.
411
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:04,610
Holy-
412
00:19:04,611 --> 00:19:06,479
The Final Boss.
413
00:19:08,581 --> 00:19:09,948
The Final Boss
414
00:19:09,949 --> 00:19:12,419
infuriated at John Cena.
415
00:19:14,621 --> 00:19:17,222
Get the [bleep] out of The
Rock's ring.
416
00:19:17,223 --> 00:19:19,692
Now.
417
00:19:27,534 --> 00:19:30,136
Undertaker's back at
WrestleMania.
418
00:19:33,707 --> 00:19:36,910
And now Reigns setting up Cody
Rhodes.
419
00:19:37,344 --> 00:19:38,912
Cody caught him.
420
00:19:40,647 --> 00:19:42,182
Cross Rhodes.
421
00:19:43,583 --> 00:19:47,119
Finished the story.
422
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:49,655
For the first time,
423
00:19:49,656 --> 00:19:54,893
a Rhodes can call himself WWE
champion.
424
00:19:54,894 --> 00:19:56,228
What a beautiful story.
425
00:19:56,229 --> 00:19:58,498
I mean this is the story that
you make movies about.
426
00:19:59,699 --> 00:20:00,632
I'm very happy.
427
00:20:00,633 --> 00:20:03,068
I am, I'm very just blessed.
428
00:20:03,069 --> 00:20:04,671
And I got to have this moment.
429
00:20:08,108 --> 00:20:08,874
Damn it.
430
00:20:08,875 --> 00:20:11,511
I love professional wrestling.
431
00:20:13,146 --> 00:20:15,114
There's no question that the
American Nightmare is at the top
432
00:20:15,115 --> 00:20:17,950
of this industry, and his
journey to get there
433
00:20:17,951 --> 00:20:20,252
is truly inspirational.
434
00:20:20,253 --> 00:20:21,653
Well, that'll do it for this
edition
435
00:20:21,654 --> 00:20:24,156
of WWE's Greatest Moments.
436
00:20:24,157 --> 00:20:25,624
Hope you've enjoyed this
437
00:20:25,625 --> 00:20:29,461
look back at the very best of
the American Nightmare
438
00:20:29,462 --> 00:20:30,797
Cody Rhodes.
