Pwi 500 2018
NJPW

Cody will, for a hot second, be the king of the wrestling world when the sold out All In event takes over the first weekend of September, but his tireless self-promotion and raised game between the ropes have ensured that perception is almost the reality.

A regular rabble rouser in Ring Of Honour and New Japan Pro Wrestling, he's fought for both of the organisations' top titles between 2017 and 2018, feeding his desire to claim the NWA Title synonymous with his Father at his own show.
