What did Cody Rhodes do that WWE did not in over a decade? Heartwarming gesture explored

Cody Rhodes has cemented himself as one of the top faces of WWE since returning to the company in 2022. He can easily connect with fans through his promos, the things he does when the cameras aren't rolling, and even through his social media.

A fan with the username @dajosc11 on Twitter recently shared that on January 7, 2014, WWE named him the winner of their Tribute To Troops Holiday Giveaway. The company promised him a shirt and dog tag set, but a decade later, those promised items still haven't arrived despite the fan messaging the company in 2015 and 2017 for a follow-up. Although the Stamford-based promotion may have ignored him, Cody Rhodes didn't.

Cody replied to the fan by saying that he sent them a DM. The fan later stated that Rhodes sent him tickets for the April 12, 2024, episode of WWE SmackDown and other items, which he will post once they arrive.

It's interesting to see Cody go out of his way and make an effort to arrange something WWE did not do for decades. It would be intriguing to see what else the RAW star has prepared for the fan.

Most WWE Superstars would break character and have more freedom during the company's Live Events due to them not being televised. Unsurprisingly, The American Nightmare took advantage of the circumstances and created another memorable moment with a fan.

On January 6, 2024, WWE held a house show at the Spokane Arena in Spokane, Washington. During the event, Cody successfully defeated his rival, Shinsuke Nakamura, in a Street Fight match. However, the moment most fans remembered came after the clash.

After the match, Cody Rhodes took a mic and talked with the fans. He noticed one of them asking the WWE Superstar to be The Best Man at his wedding. The American Nightmare asked the audience if he should accept the offer, which was met with cheers. As a result, Cody agreed to be the fan's Best Man.

Did Cody Rhodes successfully win over WWE fans?

From the looks of it, Rhodes' efforts to connect with fans have paid off. Another fan shared that he was rooting to see The American Nightmare emerge victorious at the upcoming Royal Rumble event, which received a simple yet sweet reply from the WWE Superstar.

It remains to be seen what other Cody Rhodes fan interactions will make headlines soon.
