Newcastle United have drawn inspiration from WWE Champion Cody Rhodes as they celebrate their first major trophy in 56 years.
Rhodes completed his own journey at WrestleMania 40 by capturing the WWE Championship from Roman Reigns, fulfilling a dream that began when he returned to WWE in 2022. His mission was deeply personal, as he sought to win the title his legendary father, the late \"American\" Dream\" Dusty Rhodes, never held.
Before his WWE comeback, Rhodes played a pivotal role in launching AEW, cementing his status as a major force in professional wrestling. This marked a dramatic turnaround from his departure from WWE in 2016 when his career had stalled. His rise to superstardom was encapsulated by the mantra: “From undesirable to undeniable.”
