In the midst of WrestleMania fervor, WWE star Cody Rhodes faced a terrifying ordeal as his tour bus, adorned with Wheatley American Vodka sponsorship, became engulfed in flames. The alarming incident unfolded on Thursday evening, sending shockwaves through the wrestling community just days before Rhodes’s anticipated showdown with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported, and everyone involved emerged unscathed from the harrowing ordeal. However, the incident undoubtedly cast a shadow over Rhodes’s preparations for WrestleMania, raising questions about the potential impact on his mindset and readiness for the highly anticipated match.
As fans and fellow wrestlers rallied behind Rhodes in the wake of the incident, the wrestling world awaited further updates on the situation and hoped for a swift resolution. Amidst the chaos, Rhodes’s resilience and determination to overcome adversity shone through, serving as a testament to his unwavering commitment to delivering a memorable performance at WrestleMania.
Before you hear it elsewhere – my tour bus caught fire last night 🔥
Everybody is safe and okay
The 2 items I grabbed before I got off will probably pop wrestling fans
Again, thank you @PhillyFireDept

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Rhodes disclosed the harrowing experience, assuring fans that despite the chaos, all occupants escaped unscathed with the assistance of the Philadelphia Fire Department. “Before you hear it elsewhere – my tour bus caught fire last night,” Rhodes revealed. “Everybody is safe and okay. The 2 items I grabbed before I got off will probably pop wrestling fans. Again, thank you @PhillyFireDept.”
Amid the chaos, Rhodes managed to salvage two undisclosed items, teasing wrestling aficionados with a hint of intrigue amidst the adversity.
With the flames subdued and safety assured, Rhodes’s focus now shifts back to his impending battles within the squared circle. Ahead of his WrestleMania clash with Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, Rhodes finds himself embroiled in a high-stakes tag team encounter on night one of the event. Teaming up with Seth Rollins, Rhodes faces the formidable duo of Reigns and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a bout laden with implications for the main event of night two.
The stakes couldn’t be higher as victory for Rhodes and Rollins would potentially alter the course of WrestleMania, barring The Bloodline members from interfering in night two’s title match. Conversely, a triumph for Reigns and The Rock would pave the way for a showdown under Bloodline Rules, promising chaos and unpredictability.
Against the backdrop of adversity and anticipation, WrestleMania 40 promises to deliver unparalleled excitement as wrestling’s elite converge at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. With night one slated for April 6 and night two on April 7, the stage is set for an unforgettable spectacle that transcends mere entertainment.
