After WWE Raw ended in Dallas, Texas, Cody Rhodes again demonstrated why he is one of the most beloved figures in professional wrestling. In a memorable moment, Rhodes showed appreciation to the fans in attendance by giving away a signed championship belt to a lucky crowd member.
Cody greeted the audience and recounted his tradition of handing out items on his way to the ring.
“Now, I used to come down. I’d give something away on the way to the ring,” Rhodes explained. “But I have my hardware now. I’m not able to do that.”’
As the crowd listened attentively, Cody introduced his cousin Berkeley with a humorous remark, “Everybody’s got one in the family. Everybody’s got [a] Berkeley.”
Cody’s playful tease of Berkeley caused the audience to laugh and create a lighthearted atmosphere. Cody explained the significance of the gesture while holding the signed belt.
“I signed this earlier for all the memories you’ve given me, for everything that’s happened for me,” he said. “I’d like one of you to go away with this tonight.”
