Cody Rhodes Says He Can’t Change ‘Kingdom’ Unless He Becomes A Bad Guy

Since leaving WWE in 2016, Cody Rhodes has used “Kingdom” by Downstait to transform himself into The American Nightmare.

When he returned to WWE in 2022, “Kingdom” came with him.

“The trick with a wrestling song, all the greatest wrestling music, it doesn’t need to be a good song. It needs to be a catchy song. I like “Kingdom” but the issue is, I hear it so much that, especially at the end of the night when I’m doing the rounds, just playing that one song, it gets you. I heard my daughter the other day, she doesn’t know the words, but she’s saying, “something, something, Paw Patrol.” As long as you get to the Woah! It’s a pretty interesting song by WWE standards. I can say this, it can never change. Unless I was to go bad guy, then that song is out, I suppose, but I’m locked into it. We’re married together,” Cody said while speaking on Matt & Shane’s Secret Podcast.

Rhodes is set to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42 against Randy Orton.

Elsewhere during the interview, Rhodes discussed Pat McAfee’s involvement in the story with him and Orton. You can find Rhodes’ comments here.
