Cody Rhodes: We should call this the ‘Record Era’ of WWE

On Thanksgiving night, a new episode of The Tonight Show aired with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes appearing as a guest.

Rhodes was on the show to promote the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event, which streams live on both NBC and Peacock on December 14. Rhodes is defending his title against Kevin Owens that night.

When Jimmy Fallon brought up the success WWE is having right now, Rhodes said this should be called the “Record Era” because the company is breaking records left and right.

“We’re in this period of time where — there was the Attitude Era, there was the Ruthless Aggression Era. And now, we don’t even know what to call this era of WWE. I feel like we should call it the Record Era, because we’re just breaking records left and right. The new management team — Triple H, Nick Khan, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson — they’ve made it so easy for me,” Rhodes said. “I’ve been dubbed the quarterback because they just call the plays, I run the play, and everyone, hopefully, we all look good. So it’s a blessed time. Thank all of you [fans] so much.”

Rhodes previously said he likes the “Renaissance Era” as a name for this time period.

The Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York is hosting Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14. It was also the venue for the first-ever SNME in 1985. The classic series is now returning as a quarterly special.

Rhodes hyped the December 14 show by teasing that there “might be a few surprises here and there.”
