Mike Ashkewe, a WWE fan in a wheelchair, won tickets to attend this coming weekend’s Money in the Bank PLE in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. However, he was told he would not be able to attend as the wheelchair-accessible seats were sold out.
Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes personally reached out to him and said he would make sure the fan could attend this weekend’s Money in the Bank PLE.
Ashkewe took to his official Twitter (X) account and shared the special moment.
Ashkewe wrote, “So @CodyRhodes just called me I am in shock and awe. Like, the American Nightmare made a Canadian dream <3 Like wow. I am speechless <3 Thank you @wwe for everything and making this happen.” Rhodes later responded, “🫡 enjoy the show! Good folks at @WWE & @ScotiabankArena were happy to jump in and help.”

Update:
WWE has contacted me directly and apologized profusely for what has happened.
I am going to Money in the bank with all my accessibility needs covered.
This is a good ending, whatever happens next is magical and unexpected.
