Wrestling fans, get ready for an inspiring story that’s straight out of a feel-good movie! WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, known to fans as “The American Nightmare,” has announced an incredible act of generosity: he’s purchasing a wrestling ring for Soft Ground Wrestling (SGW) in Uganda. This indie promotion, known for its makeshift outdoor ring, is about to get a major upgrade, and the wrestling community couldn’t be more excited!
From Makeshift to Mainstream
SGW has been turning heads with videos of their athletes performing in a DIY ring. But thanks to Rhodes, these talented wrestlers will soon be competing in a real, professionally built squared circle. The ring will be constructed on Ugandan soil to avoid transportation damages—talk about attention to detail!
Social Media Buzz
SGW broke the news on social media, sharing a heartfelt message and a video of Rhodes’ announcement. “Oh my God, @CodyRhodes promises to invest and buy a fully funded wrestling ring for @SGWug and help Ugandan wrestling grow. @TheRock This is a game changer for orphan wrestlers,” they tweeted.
Rhodes, ever the champion of the underdog, replied with excitement, “Glad you got the message! Enjoy it. Can’t wait to see what you do next, we’ll all be watching.”
A Growing Legacy
SGW isn’t just any indie promotion. It’s home to over 200 male and female athletes, including many orphans learning the ropes of professional wrestling. Rhodes’ contribution follows a generous $2000 donation from AEW International Champion Will Ospreay, who also aimed to help fund the promotion.

With this new wrestling ring, the future looks bright for SGW and its wrestlers. Fans worldwide are eagerly waiting to see what these Ugandan athletes will accomplish with proper facilities. It’s a story of hope, dreams, and the incredible power of community in the world of professional wrestling.
