Cody Rhodes might be wrestling as 'The American Dream' this weekend, but he won't be walking down the tunnel to a pastiche of his father's old Common Man Boogie entrance theme.

That's because Rhodes is bringing back his original post-WWE song, Downstait's Kingdom, for AEW Double Or Nothing 2021 this Sunday (30 May).

The AEW Executive Vice President was interviewed by Comic Book's Connor Casey ahead of the event. When asked about potentially bringing Kingdom back, Rhodes answered as follows:-

"Yeah. I'm going to switch back to it at the pay-per-view. I think we indicated that to a degree on social. Well, Brandi's got her opinions. Brandi is a fan of the Snoop Dogg version of Kingdom. And I am a fan of both versions. Of course the Snoop version, but this version was something that's actually been tweaked to a degree by Mikey Ruckus. The original version will play this weekend, live in front of a full capacity crowd at Double or Nothing."

Cody has walked out to a Kingdom remix featuring a different beat and rap verses from fellow Go-Big Show judge Snoop Dogg since appearing on the TBS talent show earlier this year. Now, he's going back to the original.

Rhodes faces former Olympian Anthony Ogogo at Double Or Nothing, with the feud booked and presented around a USA vs. UK theme.
