Diamond Dallas Page Talks Cody’s Career, AEW, and the “American Nightmare” Documentary

Diamond Dallas Page (DDP), a wrestling legend in his own right, recently sat down with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful during the red carpet premiere of the documentary “American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes.” The documentary, now available on Peacock, delves deep into the life and career of Cody Rhodes.

During the interview, DDP expressed his admiration for Cody’s dedication and work ethic from a young age. He recalled a time when a 14-year-old Cody confidently proclaimed his goal to become a state champion in wrestling, a feat he later achieved with a 48-0 record. DDP also reminisced about the moment Cody showcased his speaking prowess during a Hall of Fame speech, emphasizing that if anyone doubted Cody’s potential as a top-tier talent, that speech would have dispelled those doubts.

DDP also touched upon Cody’s decision to leave WWE at a time when there weren’t many comparable options available. He highlighted the importance of taking risks and believing in oneself, something Cody exemplified by betting on himself. The interview also revealed Cody’s homage to various wrestlers in his moveset, including a nod to DDP with the “Cody cutter.”

The conversation provided a heartfelt look into the bond between DDP and Cody and offered fans a unique perspective on Cody’s journey in the wrestling world.
