Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion, has maintained his dedication to the Nightmare Factory training facility, a wrestling school he co-founded with QT Marshall in 2020. Despite his hectic schedule and meteoric rise, Rhodes still makes time to nurture the next generation of wrestlers.
Since its inception, the Nightmare Factory has become a beacon for aspiring wrestlers. Rhodes’ journey from AEW to WWE in April 2022 and his crowning as the Undisputed WWE Champion at WrestleMania 40 this year have only added to his legend. Yet, his commitment to the school remains unwavering.
In a recent interview with Piers Austin, former NXT star Brady Booker (formerly known as Bodhi Hayward) shared insights about Rhodes’ involvement. Booker, who currently trains at the Nightmare Factory, expressed admiration for Rhodes’ dedication:
“I’ve gotten to meet Cody a couple of times at the Nightmare Factory. He’s in there once a week. Talk about the WWE Champion—dude on top of a mountain and he’s still able to make it into his school once a week? What a stud dude…”
Rhodes’ consistent presence at the facility underscores his commitment to giving back to the wrestling community. His involvement is not just symbolic; it represents his belief in fostering new talent and ensuring the sport’s future.
Currently, Rhodes is preparing for a high-profile title defense against US Champion Logan Paul at the upcoming King & Queen of the Ring premium live event on May 25. Despite the intense preparation required for such a significant match, Rhodes continues to invest time in the Nightmare Factory, embodying the spirit of a true champion.
This dedication highlights Rhodes’ multifaceted role in the wrestling world—not only as a top-tier performer but also as a mentor and leader, inspiring the next generation of wrestling stars.
