The WWE fan from Guelph, Ont. was in need of accessible seating for the Money in the Bank show at Scotiabank Arena, and world champion Cody Rhodes came to his rescue.
Imagine winning a contest to see your favourite performer in action only to find out 24 hours later that the seat had been taken away.
Ashweke, who uses a wheelchair to get around, recently won a Toys R Us contest for a free ticket to attend the WWE’s Money in the Bank show, which took place at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto over the weekend.One of the first things I said to Toys R Us when I won the contest, I said, ‘All right, look, before this goes any further, you need to know I need accessible seating,’” Ashweke explained during an appearance on CJOY radio in Guelph on Tuesday morning.
“But who knows that I’m here?” he said and soon discovered WWE star Cody Rhodes on the line. “It was very, very shocking. It was very weird to see. And I’ve never seen what genuine surprise looks like on my face. That’s what I’m imagining Christmas morning probably looked like when I was younger. Yeah, it was incredible.”
In addition, he had brought a replica toy of Rhodes along with him as well. He asked a representative of WWE if it could be signed.
