With much fanfare and adulation, Cody made his Ring of Honor debut at Final Battle 2016 in the Hammerstein Ballroom. In his first match, Cody shocked the world by not only defeating former ROH World Champion Jay Lethal but using low blows and dirty tactics to win.
It was that night that “The American Nightmare” was born.
The grandson of a plumber, Cody has not been afraid to throw years of honor and tradition out the window on his way to becoming the Ring of Honor World Champion at Best in the World 2017.
