WWE star Cody Rhodes to appear on UK ‘Bedtime Story’ series

On New Year’s Day, WWE star Cody Rhodes will be making a big television appearance in the United Kingdom.

Rhodes has filmed an episode of “CBeebies Bedtime Story” that will air on Wednesday, January 1, 2025. The show is broadcast on children’s station CBeebies and BBC iPlayer every weekday, featuring a new celebrity reading a different bedtime story each night. Rhodes will be reading “Gigantic” by Rob Biddulph.

Here is the description for the story:

Meet Gigantic, the smallest blue whale in the Atlantic. Dwarfed by the others in the pod, Gigantic keeps to himself, making new friends and perfecting his somersaults and flips in the bay. But one day when Gigantic’s brother, Titan, gets stuck on the sand, it’s down to Gigantic and his smallest sea creature friends to save the day. Can they show it’s possible to be tiny and tough?

Rhodes retained his Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens on the return of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event this past weekend. But, after the match, there was an angle where Rhodes was given a package piledriver and stretchered out. Owens then got into a confrontation with Paul “Triple H” Levesque.

In a storyline update posted after the attack, WWE said that Rhodes did not suffer a neck fracture but has been diagnosed with “axial compression of the cervical spine, as well as a cervical strain with spasm.”
