Damien Priest couldn’t resist taking a playful dig at Cody Rhodes on July 4th. After witnessing an impressive fireworks show in New York, Priest took to Twitter and humorously compared the display to Cody’s well-known entrance pyrotechnics. He tweeted, "Happy Independence Day," alongside a video of the dazzling fireworks.
The jab flew under the radar for some, but Rhea Ripley couldn’t contain her excitement, clearly enjoying Priest’s light-hearted jab at the American icon. She responded with a laugh, exclaiming, "I’m dead 😂 wooooooaaaah!" and even mimicked Cody’s entrance music.
Cody Rhodes is famous for having the flashiest and loudest pyro in WWE today, which is hard not to notice by both fans and fellow wrestlers like Priest and Ripley. As Cody gears up for his high-profile WWE title match at Summerslam, his locker room rivals continue to poke fun, keeping the competitive spirit alive.
Fan Take: This playful banter highlights the camaraderie and competitive edge that makes WWE so engaging for fans. It also builds anticipation for Summerslam, where Cody’s impressive presence and pyrotechnics might finally earn him the spotlight and potentially the WWE title.
