Cody Rhodes Had The Idea To Give His Soul To Simone Johnson - Fightful
Rhodes said only two WWE creative staff knew the scrapped angle, and Ava said she would have loved to do it.
- Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes revealed on Simone Johnson's podcast that he pitched an alternative storyline where he would have given his soul to her instead of The Rock.
- This pitch originated from the February 21, 2025, episode of WWE SmackDown, when The Final Boss famously demanded Rhodes' soul on the road to WrestleMania 41.
- Rhodes believed giving his soul to Simone, then NXT General Manager, would have been a "real good spin." Simone noted she "would've crushed that" storyline.
- The angle never materialized because Rhodes never presented the pitch to The Rock. Simone announced her departure from WWE this past January, permanently scrapping the storyline.
- Amid his current feud with Randy Orton, Rhodes faces complex fan reactions; audiences recently responded to Orton's promos with groans rather than cheers.
