Cody Rhodes Wanted Cowboy Hat for WWE Comeback
20 Sep
Summary
- Cody Rhodes desired a black cowboy hat for his WWE return.
- Bruce Prichard rejected the cowboy hat idea, deeming it distracting.
- Rhodes' family heritage inspired the rejected cowboy hat concept.
Cody Rhodes revealed a previously undisclosed idea for his WWE return after WrestleMania 41. He had planned to re-emerge wearing a black cowboy hat, a concept drawn from his family's heritage and upbringing in Georgia and his dad's involvement with quarter horses in Austin.
Rhodes discussed this idea on a podcast, explaining that he intended to confront John Cena and Logan Paul during his comeback. While three of his four close creative consultants approved, WWE producer Bruce Prichard ultimately rejected the proposal. Prichard felt the cowboy hat would be too distracting for his return.
Ultimately, Rhodes appeared on WWE television without the cowboy hat, opting for his signature tracksuit instead. He targeted Cena following his absence. Rhodes noted that while he often has numerous ideas, it's crucial to have individuals like Prichard who can challenge them, suggesting the rejection might have been for the best.
