Cody Rhodes has been WWE's Undisputed Champion for almost nine months. The second-generation superstar has been the face of the company since before his big title win, and with that popularity comes important mainstream appearances. Rhodes just kicked off the new year with one of his biggest crossovers yet.
The American Nightmare is entering into the WrestleMania 41 season as world champion after dethroning Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 last April. Cody has racked up numerous accolades during his first reign as the top champion of WWE, and he's drawn major money for the company through tickets and merchandise. Rhodes was also AEW's main representative to the mainstream world during his time with that promotion.
Cody is the latest celebrity on BBC's Bedtime Story program from CBeebies. The episode features Dusty Rhodes' son reading a bedtime story about a little whale with a big heart. The book, titled Gigantic, was written and illustrated by the best-selling & award-winning Rob Biddulph. HarperCollins published the 32-page juvenile fiction hardcover and paperback in September 2023. The SmackDown Superstar referenced his wrestling career by mentioning how you better believe he's going to finish the story once he starts reading.
