from being booed out of the building of the company he helped create, to being welcomed with cheers and love in the rival company. what a story till now. i hope the best for cody.

[@zeed4267]

Aew fans are a joke

[@jamirimaj6880]

Helped? He founded it. And it's not a rival company. It's his home.

@@jamirimaj6880 He who holds the checkbook owns the company. It’s Tony’s company.

[@AlphaJayCharlie]

Oh just wait lol. Remember this comment four months from now lol

[@constellation64]

They booed his character. Not him as a person but his gimmick and booking. Cody was aew and I sure as hell miss him

[@marcushamner5994]

Still have goosebumps. I knew it was Cody the moment I heard Kingdom. It’s pretty badass. My reaction was “holy shit.”🇺🇸🇺🇸👊🏾

[@92SynysterShadows]

I knew the moment i heard his voice before the song started, given that was also part of his entrance in AEW too.

[@markmelillo5699]

i knew it was him when he signed a month before the show

[@kennychamo3479]

I never heard kingdom and ever since I heard it’s been on repeat at the gym!!!

[@ciscoabdiel]

The fact that y’all didn’t figure out it was Cody when the audio said “Wrestling has more than one… Royal family” 😒… y’all were still clueless 🤣

[@lajatootreacts]

This man said “that’s vinces voice” 😭😭😭

[@isiahcurry1593]

They never watched AEW apparently

[@richardspivey8642]

I never got to see Cody when he was with WWE the first time. At that time i wasn`t watching. Now that i`ve gotten back into it I will say this moment will always stick out to me as one of the most epic moments. He has me excited and energized.

[@RRGpartydog2007]

"Shawn micheals"? Killed me 😂

[@yaboiiitwothree1]

I thought I’d never see the day when the WWE universe is excited to see Cody Rhodes

[@astro1700]

How did y’all not notice it was kingdom right away? 💀🤦🏻‍♂️

[@WessideVibez]

Lmao like wtf?

[@user-ld9fi4uc2z]

How dumb are you expecting everyone to watch aew lmfao?

[@ciscoabdiel]

Right.. that’s what I just said. By the time it said “wrestling has more than one… royal family” I SCREAMEDDDD cause I knew it was cody

[@OfficialSeth]

It's like everyone in the world knew it would be Cody except for those guys.

[@roofy3075]

I'm just perplexed how they didn't immediately lose it the second they heard "Wrestling has more than one Royal Family." Lol, like they knew the name of the song and all, but it took him like rising up to finally get it haha, worth watching as a find all this time later.

[@richie31301]

I was there. As soon as I heard “wrestling….” I yelled so loud my voice was blown out for a week

[@LaughingDisciple]

Orton must've cried happy tears seeing Rhondes do well

[@AveLukas42]

They really thought it was Vince's voice 😂😂

[@JROD2135]

We all knew it was Cody. He is making a hell of a Run in WWE because of AEW and NJPW progress

[@antivist2020]

"Wrestling has more then one royal family" and these guys still don't know it's Cody lol

[@fatcheese1904]

Damn casuals

[@GO-wb1gf]

To be fair when I was watching I could not hear shit

[@mottliez6547]

[@tashilamamoktan]

That guy in the back raising his hands knew though.

[@kishankerai9014]

Cos they don’t know nothing about wrestling 🤣

[@NickPR87]

Although I've never seen him as a company flag bearing type of champion wrestler, I'm glad he's in a place where he feels he can be THE man.

[@thomashester2]

Love it The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes

[@americansmark]

Still get goosebumps from that.

[@caseybentley5417]

I screamed so loud seeing him!

[@ldog20024]

When Kingdom started playing i was sing it as loud as a could

[@AhmedKhan-jh9zt]

Greatest return on wrestlemania

[@cwell510]

Great reaction here guys, I just about jumped out of my chair when I heard "Kingdom" over the speakers and saw his Nightmare logo on the screen. Thanks for posting! Subscribed!

[@honestyfirst3216]

Terrible reaction and youre probably one of the clowns in the video. Noone wants to sub to this trash

[@deanfitz1985]

I was there to witness it snd it was absolutely insane

[@FernandoMartinez-pv1id]

The AEW Fans said he'd be a Jobber and Stardust within a week or 6 months. Now hes dominating non stop.

[@mansaini9710]

They don't understand why would vince want to book him jobber they say Vince give him punishment at mania 39 dump don't understand vince want to start a story between roman and cody that why they ask roman to make him look star at mania

[@justintibbs8620]

This man said it's Vince's voice 😂 😂

[@casnybx2553]

These guys are funny and cool the one guy in the background is always spinning in circles when he hyped lol

[@92SynysterShadows]

How the hell did it take you guys so long 🤣 i knew it was him the moment i heard his voice saying wrestling has more than 1 royal family lol

[@brokeguydtd]

probably wwe fans. Jay seemed to recognize who it was everyone else...yikes

[@ukstarwarscollector]

the fact they didnt know it was cody from the intro and then didnt realise he's using Kingdom for like 30 seconds is so annoying!!!!

[@MohamedAbdo-pg5yf]

fr man.

Wait, so they don't watch AEW? I don't even watch AEW and even I know the theme lol

[@V1C1ousV1C2]

Lmao he said Vinces voice

[@LogamusPrime]

It's not his aew theme. It's a Cody theme. He used in TNA and NJPW and ROH before aew. Stop trying to sound edgy

[@bellereinette2938]

It’s Cody’s song he owns it. It’s not like Vince had to buy it from Tony Khan for them to use it AEW never owned Cody’s entrance it’s Cody’s he can use it no matter where he is!

[@itszabierux258]

Don’t cares about aew f aew

[@shortboypinoy]

How dare ya'll not pop off at the first line! Ashame! Not ashamed! Just ashame!

[@pother67]

How can the crew not know the music was kingdom? What entrance theme in the history of the wwe has a double beat to start out the song except for degeneration x?

[@italotrivisan9767]

How did they not pick Cody's theme as soon as they heard it?
