Cody Rhodes is featured on this year’s WWE 2K24 cover, and the American Nightmare recently appeared on the “Shak Wrestling” podcast to discuss landing the cover spot and how picky he was about the photos used for it.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the cover photo: “I worked for a company in Japan, and that would just take these awful photos, and then the next thing you know, you’d be plastered on a 7/11 wall. That’s always the first thing that comes to mind is, ‘Oh, I wonder what’s going to be used, I wonder how it’s going to be captured.’ When I saw it, I was really blown away. I was really touched by just how they captured the shoot itself and the fun and the grandeur of WWE and 2K, so all positive feelings.”
On the pre-order bonus for the game: “The other thing that I love is you pre-order now you get the Nightmare Family pack where I’ve got myself, Undashing Cody Rhodes, Stardust, Superstar Billy Graham. But my father being playable in his 1976 MSG duds is pretty special because that’s really where the story started, and to be able to bring that into the game was a great call by 2K.”
