Cody Rhodes made an entrance during Fanatics Fest NYC, where he was met with a hug by Kevin Hart.
The comedian-actor, who has worked with WWE in the past, proceeded to knock the former Undisputed WWE Champion to the floor, scoring a pinfall “victory” as someone came out to make the count.
The identity of the “referee” has been under some dispute, with comments stating it was IShowSpeed despite WWE tagging KSI in their later-deleted social media post covering the moment.
Hart posed with a replica title after the pin, but it is unclear as of this writing whether he took the American Nightmare down for his own gains or if he did it for frequent co-star and collaborator The Rock.
