Metro Boomin and WWE Champion Cody Rhodes have been having a great year so far in 2024. Metro, a super-producer, has achieved two No. 1 albums with Future. On the other hand, Cody had some significant victories at WrestleMania, including a match against Czar Roman Reigns.
Recently, the duo teamed up for a new video to promote WWE’s upcoming Bad Blood event at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on October 5. The video features them in a buddy-cop scenario, staking out the venue from a broken-down car. Metro expresses his frustration about waiting since July without seeing anything, while Cody remains optimistic, telling Metro he needs to know what to look for.
In an interview with Variety, Metro expressed his excitement about working with Cody and bringing Bad Blood back to Atlanta. He praised Cody’s inspiring story and hinted at surprises for the upcoming event. Cody, in turn, highlighted Atlanta’s influence on culture and teased the possibility of more hip-hop figures joining the event.
Atlanta has a rich history of intertwining hip-hop and wrestling, with World Championship Wrestling being based in the city and many rappers growing up watching the matches. Cody’s reference to “Badstreet” pays homage to the city’s wrestling legacy, with artists like Killer Mike and Outkast showing respect to Cody and his father, Dusty Rhodes.
While no matches have been confirmed for Bad Blood yet, fans speculate that Cody will defend his title in his hometown, possibly against Roman Reigns or his cousin Solo Sikoa. With the event promising to be a significant moment for Atlanta and the wrestling world, fans are eagerly anticipating the surprises in store for them on October 5th.
