"He had called the cops" - Cody Rhodes reveals scary details of getting into a fight ahead of All In 2018
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes was one of the names behind presenting the All In 2018 PPV. The American Nightmare recently recalled an incident that occurred before the pay-per-view.
The All In PPV event in 2018 shaped the birth of All Elite Wrestling in 2019. Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks (Nicholas & Matthew Jackson) put together the event from Sears Center in Hoffman Estates, IL in September 2018. The show drew 11,263 fans and had a solid card. Cody Rhodes took on Nick Aldis for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship on the show.
In an interview with Flagrant, the Undisputed WWE Champion recalled getting into a brief exchange with a guy who stopped him from bringing his dog Pharaoh to the building.
"I got into a slight tussle the night before (All In) because I'm walking Pharaoh, my beloved husky who is always part of what I do. I had him off a leash. I was in the wrong. Pharaoh is chill. He's not ever going to be a problem, but this man got in my face over it. 'You shouldn't...that's dangerous.' Probably right. He's probably had a bad experience with a dog. You're probably right."
The American Nightmare continued:
"Something about it, maybe I had some caffeine in my system. He got so close that I felt like he had encroached on my space. I did shove him. When I shoved him, he rolled back into the bushes. He took this enormous Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin-style fall. The next thing I knew, I was like, 'Oh no.' He had called the cops. I decided to stay in the lobby. I'm not going to try and run. Had he said, 'I'm pressing charges.' It's over. The next day was the first day in my career that I had a security detail. My wife [Brandi Rhodes], 'You do not leave this room without this man.'"
