Ahead of this week's WWE Live at the Co-op Live, we recently invited star Cody Rhodes to the Etihad Stadium and City Football Academy to take a look around.

Rhodes, known as the ‘The American Nightmare’, is currently the Undisputed Champion and is in Manchester for Wednesday’s event at the brand new arena.

He’ll face Solo Sikoa in an Undisputed WWE Championship Bull Rope Match while fans will also see “Main Event” Jey Uso vs. GUNTHER in a World Heavyweight Championship Street Fight and Bayley vs. Nia Jax in a WWE Women’s Championship Match.

Famous names including Randy Orton, United States Champion LA Knight, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill, Shinsuke Nakamura will also be in attendance.

With that to come, Rhodes took time out on Monday to have a look around our world-class facilities.

He took a seat in the home changing room in front a shirt created to make the iconic wrestler feel part of the squad of the Premier League champions.

He also got a glimpse of Pep Guardiola‘s view of the pitch before meeting the Premier League trophy and having a look at where our players train.
