So ‘College GameDay,’ what do you want to talk about?
Adrenaline will be in the soul of ESPN’s college football pregame show as Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will be the celebrity guest picker this week. The show will take place in Athens, Georgia for the matchup between the Georgia Bulldogs and Tennessee Volunteers.
Rhodes, who grew up in Georgia, is a fan of the Bulldogs. ‘The American Nightmare’ talked about his fandom on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ before, calling himself a ‘Georgia guy.’
‘That’s my life, is the ‘Dawgs. I went to Georgia football camp as a kid, I took a picture with Uga,’ he said. ‘I love my ‘Dawgs.’
Rhodes will be another WWE star to appear on the show that stars McAfee, who serves as a WWE commentator during the football offseason. Sheamus served as the celebrity guest picker in his home city of Ireland when the show kicked off the 2024 season between Georgia Tech and Florida State. In 2022, Bianca Belair was a guest picker when her alma mater hosted a matchup against Florida. Other WWE stars to appear on the show include Stone Cold Steve Austin, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Roman Reigns Goldberg and Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler.
Rhodes, who has been the WWE champion since WrestleMania 40 in April, is coming off winning the inaugural Crown Jewel Championship.
