Cody Rhodes hasn’t stopped making waves since returning to action at the Royal Rumble and he seems set on creating some more.
At the Royal Rumble, Rhodes returned to the ring for the first time since June to win the men’s Rumble match. In the process, Rhodes booked himself a ticket to WrestleMania 39 and a date with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
Interestingly, the American Nightmare has now called on NFL legend Tom Brady to join him.
On February 1st, Brady announced his retirement from the NFL for a second time, this time insisting that he was done “for good.” The 45-year-old’s announcement comes a year to the day after he first announced his retirement only to reverse his decision just 40 days later.
In an emotional video posted on social media, Brady paid tribute to fans, teammates, and rivals.
“I’m retiring – for good. I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first. It won’t be long-winded. You only get one super-emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year. Thank you so much to every single one of you for supporting me – my family, my friends, my team-mates, my competitors. I could go on forever – there’s too many. Thank you for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change a thing. Love you all.”
Tom Brady To Join Cody Rhodes At WrestleMania?
The news of his retirement reached Cody Rhodes just before he appeared on The Bump, which led him to extend a WrestleMania invitation.
“Upon arriving here this morning, I was very shocked to see that [Brady retiring], not shocked as well. Time comes for us all. Tom Brady needs to maybe find his way to WrestleMania, maybe find his way anywhere WWE, just Tom, live it up now. There might be a future here.”
During the appearance, Rhodes also stated that he has a “pipe dream” of bringing back WWE’s iconic “Winged Eagle” World Championship belt.
