Cody Rhodes to update American Nightmare logo as tribute to late dog

WWE wrestler Cody Rhodes has announced plans to update his signature ‘American Nightmare’ logo used on merchandise to honor his late Husky, Pharaoh.

During an interview with Flagrant, Rhodes explained that the new design will feature a wolf or husky-style skull with wings turned to the side. This change serves as a tribute to his pet, which passed away after nearly 16 years. Rhodes noted that while his current neck tattoo is a central part of his branding, its size has occasionally presented challenges on film sets, such as during his work on the upcoming ‘Street Fighter’ movie.

Rhodes also reflected on his professional experiences outside of WWE, specifically noting the differences in wrestling culture in Japan. He described the Japanese scene as being ‘sport first’ compared to the US style.
