In heartwarming news, young Oliver Beverland’s wish to meet his wrestling hero was granted on Saturday night when the WWE returned to Belfast as part of their UK tour.
Oliver, lovingly called Ollie, attended the event at the SSE arena with his parents and big brother Carson. His dream came true when he had the opportunity to meet WWE champion Cody Rhodes.
The magical moment came after Ollie’s dad made a plea for Cody Rhodes to meet his son while in Belfast for the WWE live event. Responding through his official X account, Cody Rhodes assured Ollie’s dad that a member of WWE UK would reach out to them. He expressed his excitement and said that he couldn’t wait to meet Ollie.
Before the Saturday evening event, Ollie and Carson, dressed in their custom-made Cody Rhodes ring robes, had the chance to meet the wrestling superstar. They even got to hold the prestigious championship title belt, creating unforgettable memories.
However, those experiences paled in comparison to the events that unfolded later that evening. During the live show, both brothers were unexpectedly lifted over the barriers by Cody and carried to the ring amidst the thunderous applause of the packed SSE arena.
Ollie has faced numerous health challenges since his birth in June 2019, being born with a bowel condition that required multiple surgeries. As a result, he has spent a significant amount of time in hospitals, primarily at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children. Despite ongoing treatments, including regular TPN and a feeding tube, Ollie’s health has remained unstable.
While Cody Rhodes may be known as the “American Nightmare” in wrestling circles, he has truly become a hero for little Ollie. By making Ollie’s dream come true, Cody Rhodes has shown the power of compassion and the positive impact that celebrities can have on their fans. This heartwarming story reminds us that dreams really can come true, even in the face of adversity.
