I was literally seeing comments before his return that, "imagine if Cody returns and comes out to "Kingdom," or "If Cody comes back, they better play Kingdom in that stadium!"

@TheTriangle444 6 ай бұрын

That was the most shocking of all. People predicted Cody would return, but returning with everything in his indies/AEW package looking like a big star? Nah. WWE has never done that ever.

@unleashed2724 Жыл бұрын

Smartest decision a wrestler could make. A theme could make or break a wrestler. And Kingdom was synonymous with this iteration of Cody Rhodes, if he returned with one of his old WWE themes, that would just undermine everything he went through. Or they would've given him a def rebel song, and we know that would've been terrible.

@blakerichardson1465 5 ай бұрын

One thing I think WWE has improved about their presentation of Cody's music is anytime Cody has a hot entrance to make a save or some super charged entrance to confront someone, they have cut the "intro beat" and the "Wrestling has more than one royal family." and instead go straight to the guitar rift. That hits much harder in those hot entrance moments, while the full intro for planned entrances before a scheduled match or promo still fits extremely well.

They used to do that with the Rock back in the day. After his matches he’d win or after he comes on top for a face off they would cut the “if ya smell” part and go straight to the music

@@ABCDyeahyeahyeah I think they still do that actually. If you go back and look at the end of his "joining the Bloodline" promo from a week or so ago, they cut straight to the music after he drops the "If ya smell what the Bloodline is cooking!" line. Makes a ton of sense.

@blakerichardson1465 4 ай бұрын

@@ssj2camaro21 Yup, it's so predictable, everyone thought he was going to win at Mania last year. And when he didn't, most people complained it was a poor decision. Now, here we are a year later, and the overwhelming majority of the crowd is so bought into this two-year story that they revolted against WWE's plans for a Rock v Roman main event and it forced WWE to change their plans altogether. No one says you have to like the story, but it's by far the most compelling, long-range booking WWE has done in years and it has clearly gotten over with the lion's share of the fan base. I'm sure post-Mania we'll get some new, fresh story lines with the belt on Cody.

Only lyric in Kingdom that doesn't make sense to me is "you took my dreams, but not my name!", shouldn't it be the exact opposite? WWE literally wouldn't let Cody use the Rhodes last name for years, but still couldn't take away his dreams.

@Madeoftea 5 ай бұрын

So while I do agree with you, he left WWE dejected, they took his dream of being a wrestler in WWE away. But they didn’t take his name, his namesake or his legacy. Also, it’s a play on life. Life took The American Dream, his father away, but not his father’s name. Now he gets to live up to his father’s name and be the dream he never had. Or the nightmare in Cody’s case. 😉
