In a new video, Cody Rhodes and Bianca Belair shared a special look into WWE’s work with their community partners.
On WWE’s YouTube channel, the company posted a video in which Cody Rhodes and Bianca Belair went through a “performance review” that assessed their character inside and outside of the ring. Rhodes noted that the evaluators could get cranky if they missed nap time. The officials turned out to be a group of little kids.
One of them asked Rhodes and Belair whether they were a good guy or a bad guy. Rhodes said that he would like to say he was good, but he did not know whether others would agree. Another kid asked them if they made people happy. Belair then highlighted their work with the Make-A-Wosh Foundation. A video package noted that WWE granted over 100 wishes in 2023.
The video also showcased WWE’s work with the USO, namely Tribute to the Troops. Rhodes noted that they have received many awards and accolades for being champions of these organizations. One kid asked Rhodes whether he was a champion, and he said he was still on that journey. One of the children told Rhodes, “Maybe one day, kid.”
Belair then pointed to the way WWE viewed many people as champions, including Special Olympics athletes. Rhodes also said they were changing their name from WWE Community to WWE Impact. He stated that they would be strengthing their Community Champions Initiative, providing funding and opportunities for non-profits around the world.
Belair and Rhodes then detailed how WWE has continued to help support those who serve their communities, like doctors, nurses, and teachers.
The video continued to spotlight the company’s work with their community partners, including the National Medal of Honor Museum, Seacrest Studios, March of Dimes, and more. Rhodes said using the platform to do good for everyone was probably the best part of the job. An on-screen graphic stated that WWE supported over 100 organizations with 300 global events, nearly 1,000 superstar appearances, and $4.5 million raised and contributed.
