Cody Rhodes felt awkward shooting for WWE 2K24
Fans of Cody Rhodes are excited to see him as a playable character in WWE 2K24. The game will feature two versions of the WWE wrestler and fans can play as both. The first version will see Cody Rhodes himself and the second will be an action figure recreation. Moreover, the appearance in WWE 2K24 will be his 10 one in the WWE game franchise.
Fans got to see Rhodes in the announcement trailer of the game along with other WWE wrestlers. In the trailer which is titled ‘The Story’s Not Finished’, Rhodes makes an entry with his famous scream ‘woah’ as the crowd also joins him.
However, an interesting fact about this scene in the game has come to light by none other than Rhodes himself. While shooting for this entry screen in the green screen, Rhodes admitted that he felt very awkward. This is because, during the live matches, Rhodes is used to screaming his signature ‘woah’ along with the crowd.
However, while shooting for the game on the green screen, Rhodes had to do his signature scream all by himself as it is obvious that a crowd wouldn’t be present there and therefore this made him feel awkward.

Unlocking Cody Rhodes’ Elite version
Fans will remember Rhodes for his several remarkable moments in WWE history. However, one particular moment that is imprinted in the minds of his fans is his legendary performance versus Seth Rollins at Hell in a Cell in 2022. Rhodes fought the match despite having a torn pectoral muscle and after an intense match, he managed to emerge victorious. Fans will now be able to relive this moment in WWE 2K24.
Thanks to the joining of hands with Mattel, players will be able to assume control of Rhodes to relive this unique moment. For those who pre-ordered the Standard Edition of WWE 2K24, the Mattel Action Figure version of Rhodes will be included in the Nightmare Family Pack, and for the other editions it can be purchased separately.
Players can also get their hands on The Elite Cody Rhodes version. This version will, however, not be made available on the base roaster and players need to turn to the Nightmare Family Pack. In addition to the Cody Rhodes Battle Action Figure, fans will get the Elite Cody Rhodes version in this pack.
