WWE 2K23 Cody Rhodes theme not available in jukebox or CAWs, but there's a potential explanation

Here’s the crux of the article in video form:

Developed by Visual Concepts, WWE 2K23 is the latest and twenty-third installment of the popular wrestling sports video game.

One can enjoy playing this game on a Windows PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles. However, some are unhappy as they are experiencing some issues with it.

Some WWE 2K23 players (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) are facing difficulties in using Cody Rhodes’ theme song ‘Kingdom’ in the game.

It is alleged that the track is not available for use in the jukebox or CAWs (Create-a-wrestler/custom characters). Apparently, one can only use this theme with Rhodes’ default entrance and attire.

A player complains that Cody Rhodes’ entrance theme song, ‘Kingdom’, won’t play at his entrance in the arena if a downloaded outfit is used.

They also mentioned that Cody Rhodes and Judgment Day’s themes are unavailable in the Jukebox as well.

Another gamer alleges that they can choose any theme in ‘create an entrance feature’ in the game, except ‘Kingdom’.

Those affected are now requesting the developers to fix this issue and allow them to use Cody’s theme in the jukebox and CAWs as well.

Some gamers on the web forums (1,2,3) speculate that Cody Rhodes may be partially holding the copyright to his theme song ‘Kingdom’.

There is a possibility that WWE may only have the authority to use the track for Cody’s entrance and not for use on other occasions.

Similar copyright issues were there with Rhonda’s theme as well, making it impossible for the developers to edit the track for 2 iterations.

We’ll keep tabs on the issue where the Rhodes theme song is not available in jukebox or CAWs in the WWE 2K23 and update this article accordingly.
