Fans got a first look at the former WWE Champion’s new look in the Naked Gun Movie. Rhodes was cast to have a cameo in the movie.
Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the movie, released its trailer recently. It features a segment where Liam Neeson, who plays the lead in the fourth film in the popular franchise, was at a bar, and the bartender was none other than Rhodes. Neeson proceeded to smash Cody’s face, leaving the former WWE Champion akin to the Muppets.

The movie also stars Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Kevin Durand, and Danny Huston.
Even though it is just a cameo, it’s always great to see a wrestler make it to the big screen, and this could be the one role that helps Cody land more prominent roles.
Cody Rhodes Speaks About Him And Seth Rollins Producing A WWE Event
Seems Cody Rhodes has a knack for improvising on the fly. The American Nightmare recalled an incident where he and Seth had to step up to be producers.
Speaking with Damian Priest on his “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” podcast, Rhodes mentioned how unforeseen circumstances led to the two superstars producing a show at El Paso in 2023.
The incident occurred as the crew and talent were stuck in a snowstorm in Omaha and had a scheduled show in El Paso. Cody Rhodes had arranged for talent to fly out to the venue, but couldn’t get the producers out, and the region is one of the few that have commissions with rules for pro wrestling.
So, to do the show, the two veterans took up the duties. Both Priest and Rhodes praised Rollins for his ability to handle the role, showcasing how comprehensively skilled the top WWE stars truly are.
