What makes the moment even cooler is that the song wasn't playing over the speakers. The crowd sang it all by themselves, and Rhodes was eating it up.
What is Street Fighter star Cody Rhodes' WWE entrance song?
Rhodes famously uses Downstait's song “Kingdom” as his entrance music. The group wrote it for him after he left WWE in 2016, and he used it on the independent circuit and in AEW. Downstait has even performed it live for him.
After his release, Rhodes went onto the independent circuit and rebuilt himself. He was one of the founders of WWE's biggest competitor, AEW. He was also the executive vice president of the promotion until he left in 2022.
