Cody Rhodes Discusses Neck Tattoo Inspiration

Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion, shared insights about his controversial neck tattoo during an appearance on the '2 Bears, 1 Cave' podcast. After leaving WWE, Rhodes aimed to create his own brand and was frustrated by the prevalence of logos from other wrestlers, particularly The Rock. He originally intended to place the tattoo on his chest but opted for the neck to avoid mimicking other wrestling icons like Conor McGregor and Goldberg. Rhodes described the tattoo's design, a winged skull with a crown, as a bold statement of his identity. He also recounted a humorous backstage moment with Mike Tyson, who, unsure about the oiling process before his appearance, asked Rhodes for help in applying oil. This interaction added a personal touch to Rhodes's journey in professional wrestling as he navigates both branding and relationships within the industry.
