Cody Rhodes re-signed with WWE following his surprise departure from All Elite Wrestling. “The American Nightmare” made a grand entrance at WrestleMania 38, facing Seth Rollins in a match for the win. The rivalry between the two men led to a trilogy that also played out at WrestleMania Backlash and Hell in a Cell. Currently, Cody is absent from the ring after surgery on his pectoral muscle.

This is the second consecutive year in which an exclusive award is given to WWE. Last year, Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks took home an award for headlining the first night of WrestleMania 37.
The moment was recognized as the first time two African-American women headlined a WWE show. Unlike in 2021, ESPN chose to separate this category from the main ceremony. Likewise, Cody attended the ceremony and presented one of the awards of the night.
