First We Feast has officially announced that Cody Rhodes, the reigning 2025 King of the Ring and WWE’s top babyface, will appear on this week’s episode of Hot Ones. The episode is scheduled to air on Thursday at 11 AM ET, just ahead of the highly anticipated two-night WWE SummerSlam premium live event.
Cody will join host Sean Evans to take on the infamous Wings of Death Challenge, featuring hot sauces with escalating Scoville levels. Along the way, Rhodes will field questions about his WWE journey, career highs, and preview his Street Fight against John Cena set for Night 2 of SummerSlam.
Hot Ones has become a go-to platform for high-profile stars to connect with fans in a raw and humorous way. Rhodes follows in the footsteps of other WWE Superstars like Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins, Jade Cargill, Liv Morgan, Drew McIntyre, and more, who have taken on the hot wing gauntlet either on the main show or the spinoff series Hot Ones Versus.
