Cody Rhodes will bring the KIPP AMP Middle School’s Wrestling Club to WrestleMania XL.
The club at the Brooklyn, New York school was raising $2,500 through donations and popcorn sales to go to WWE’s flagship pay-per-view event in April. Rhodes stepped in and offered to cover their tickets and hotel expenses for WrestleMania XL.
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Rhodes said,
“Seeing their reaction was priceless. Good things happening to good people. This is what I really, I like about social media, bright spots like these amazing kids.”
He continued, “I never had anything like that growing up and wish I did. What I like most about TWC is the sense of community. Wrestling is more popular than ever, but when it wasn’t it was difficult to find and connect with people as passionate about wrestling as you were. They’ve got a place to discuss the highs and lows of it all, support each other and have fun. My wife Brandi wants to find a way to set up a meeting for me with the kids that weekend. I wonder if I should just show up at the school though and surprise them?”
WrestleMania XL will be held as a two-night event on April 6 and 7, 2024, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
