Cody Rhodes took a break from title chases and top-rope drama to channel his inner NHL star at Fanatics Fest NYCand the results were loud, fast, and pretty accurate.
In a clip shared from the event, the former WWE Undisputed Champion stepped up to a hockey challenge booth and blasted a slap shot straight into a puck-catching target (yes, that giant washer-looking thing). Surrounded by fans and flashing a confident grin, Rhodes proved hes got some serious stick skills when hes not holding a mic or dodging superkicks.
The moment added a lighter touch to a WWE-heavy weekend at Fanatics Fest, especially with Kevin Owens also spotted moving through the venue. Unlike Codys playful energy, Owens drew attention in a more mysterious wayescorted by multiple officers while wearing Cena gear and tactical-style clothing. According to reports, Owens was there for autographs, but his presence still raised questions amid uncertainty about his neck injury and future in the ring.
Rhodes, whos been front and center in WWEs top storylines, looked completely at ease trading the squared circle for the rinkif only for a few minutes. Decked out casually and drawing a crowd around the glass, the champ proved hes got just as much flair in the penalty box as he does in the main event.
Fanatics Fest NYC brought out some of the biggest names in WWE, but Codys slap shot moment was easily one of the most talked about clips from the weekend.
