WWE fan gets wish fulfilled after Cody Rhodes expresses interest in being his best man (2024)

Cody Rhodes is a two-time WWE Intercontinental Champion. He won the 2023 Royal Rumble, and is a seven-time tag team champion, including his current championship defense alongside Jey Uso. Now, he has his sights set on dethroning Roman Reigns for that WWE Universal Championship. Above all else though, Cody Rhodes is a man of the people.

He is arguably the most popular face in WWE right now and for good reason. He always has his fans' backs, even if it means being the best man at a stranger's wedding.

To the delight of all the fans in Spokane at SmackDown, Cody Rhodes agreed to be a fan's best man after seeing a sign asking him to do so. Rhodes had just taken down Shinsuke Nakamura in a street fight and still found a way to make a fan's year this early into 2024.

So many questions emerged from this interaction: Who is this man getting married? Does his fiance know about this? How does his previous best man feel about this? When is the wedding? Was the fan being serious?

Nobody has all of the information yet. But there are a few answers.

Did the fan's fiance know about this?

Yes. She was next to the fan with the sign the whole time and even seemed excited for her future husband when Cody agreed to be his best man.

Her reaction is captured in this video, posted to the WWE X account.

When is the wedding?

The video also revealed that the wedding will take place on Saturday, March 24. After learning of the date, Rhodes jokingly asked if the couple could swap their wedding date to a weekday.

Was the fan being serious?

By all accounts, it seems so. Rhodes does not know the man's name, but the fan said he was going to send Rhodes a message on Instagram about their agreement, and that is as much as anyone knows at the moment.

What else has Rhodes done for his fans?

Rhodes has become known for the love he shares with his fans regularly. During the final RAW of 2023, Rhodes gifted a fan a Christmas tree that had been used as a prop on the WWE stage. He's purchased tickets for fans on several occasions, including an entire 'Wrestling Club' from New York just last year.

Rhodes called the reaction from the club "priceless." He didn't just buy them tickets to a random event either. He bought them tickets to WrestleMania 40, arguably the biggest WWE event of the year. He also said he was willing to pay for their hotel rooms.

What to expect from Rhodes as a best man

An event like this only happens once in a lifetime, and as excited as the fan might be for Rhodes to be his best man, Rhodes' involvement will likely be limited to the fiancée's wishes.

That said, you have to expect that Rhodes will at least slam the groom on a table or hit him with a Cross Rhodes at some point. If the bride and groom really want to lean into his presence, they should tell the DJ to start playing Rhodes's theme song, "Kingdom" by Downstrait, as soon as the priest asks each of them to present their rings.

Just imagine that. The groom can start looking around as if he can't find it and in comes Cody Rhodes to save the day. Incredible. Everybody at the wedding could get into it, echoing the famous "WOAH! OH!" as he walks down the aisle with the ring.

This fantastic hypothetical could include custom tag team championship belts made. Seeing as how he and Jey Uso are the current tag team champs, metaphorically handing the title over to the newly married couple could be a fun moment.

Regardless of what shenanigans ensue, Cody Rhodes has reaffirmed his status as one of the most beloved superstars in WWE. Surely, he made hundreds of fans in Spokane with this gesture.
