WWE just wrapped up a weekend’s worth of big shows to Atlanta, but they’re not the only game in A-Town. Cody Rhodes stuck around in the town he called home for one of the next big events happening there — Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game, and specifically the Home Run Derby event the precedes the game every year.
The 2025 King of the Ring wasn’t just there to watch the boys hit dingers. During the final round, he was out to hype up the crowd...
This year’s Derby was won by the Seattle Mariners’
Cal Raleigh, a catcher who also currently leads the majors with 38 home runs and has the frankly awesome nickname “Big Dumper” (given to him by a teammate in the minors for the exact reason you’re thinking). After he beat the Tampa Bay Rays’ Junior Caminero 18-15 in the finals, Rhodes joined long-time wrestling fan Jeff Passan to present the winner with a custom WWE Home Run Derby championship title.
