Cody Rhodes shocked a lot of people when he returned to AEW and briefly had dark hair. After a brutal beating from Brodie Lee that took Rhodes out for a handful of weeks, Rhodes returned with dark hair and a violent demeanor in an attempt to gain some revenge on the then-TNT Champion.
Cody has often done things to help build his character from an aesthetic sense, and Rhodes has now told people nobody understood the reference behind his change of hair color.
Speaking with Lexy Nair, Rhodes revealed the purpose of the new hair color had been lost on many and he was paying homage to the Death of Superman story arc in DC comics when Superman returned with a new look.
“Blondes have more fun. Nobody got it when I dyed my hair black. It was a play on Death of Superman. He had the mullet, he had a change, a different outfit. Nobody got it.”
Cody has often used comic books and video games to inspire ideas for his characters in the past, so this should come as no surprise. For more on this, and other topics, you can watch the interview below.
