Last Friday Night

Dashing!Cody Rhodes x Playboy Model Fem!Reader

Desc: It’s the 2010’s also known as the trashy dirty messy parties decade besides the 2000’s, Cody’s career was just going off along with his best-friends playboy model career, after a successful WWE Match Cody throws a large party at his house for celebration & It gets messy real fast

Contents: Alcohol, Foul Language, Smut, Fluff, Trashy parties, Douche bag cody in the house, DASHING CODY FUCKING RHODES CHAT, Gets STRAIGHT to the smut so enjoy

{~I'm very serious with you guys interacting with my writing!!!! it would make me so happy & excited, the more comments & reposts the more inspiration i have to write :) Votes and comments are strongly appreciated so please COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT COMMEENNTTT the more comments the more content <3!!!~}

Cody was beyond full of himself, especially when he had this entire Dashing Cody Rhodes gig going on for him, The dashing part definitely got to him, Every goddamn person & their mother knew he was fine as fuck and so did he, his confidence being boosted as-well as his ego was apart of his character & success. He just won a goddamn championship & as his way of celebrating this Friday night? Turning the fuck up.

You & Cody had been best-friends since his early wrestling days within WWE which was the time you became a playboy model, you two were practically made for each other, the both of you being near each other had people questioning their sexuality, You were hot as fuck, he was hot as fuck, and you both knew it, who wouldn’t embrace themselves if they were as hot as you two?

Cody’s house was filled with flashing lights, drunk guests & loud obnoxious music & You knew you were at the right place when your driver started pulling into a neighborhood that sounded like a fucking rave.

You stepped out of the car & immediately Cody stepped out of his house & made his way towards you “The most important guest of the night finally arrives” he wraps his arm around your waist and walked you in while you laughed into his shoulder “Shut-up Cody you’re just saying that!” You & Cody had a strange dynamic that people automatically thought you dated, You two would hold hands everywhere, cling to each other, hell paparazzi found you two getting lunch one time with his hand comfortably against your ass. You two were once labeled as the decades IT couple no matter how many times one of you addressed you were “just friends” which was complete and utter bullshit.

Cody lead you to the kitchen and gave you a cup filled to the brim with alcohol just for you “Here you go doll-face, slow sips ‘kay?” You giggled nodding before kissing his cheek, you took a large sip of your beverage with him and hummed hooking your arms around his shoulder “y’did so good tonight in the ring Cody, I’m so proud of you” he smirked “Yeah? I won just for you gorgeous.” You smiled as you felt his breath fan over your lips, The party was such an obnoxious scene, Everyone was either drunk or bumping into you two about to get drunk or make dumb life choices, for example, You two went into the backyard where someone practically thundercunted themselves off of his roof and into the pool

And somehow SURVIVED? Cody laughed and took a swig out of his beer bottle before turning to you yelling over the music “Now, correct me if I’m wrong but I think we should go off somewhere more quiet, a little more intimate?” You smirked at the Idea & nodded while he set down his drink & lead you off inside his house & to his room.

All of this brought you to the current situation you were in now, getting sat on-top of the dresser in his room while he dug into your neck leaving hickey after hickey and tugged on your hair a bit as he stood in-between your legs, he pulled away and grabbed you by the jaw & slammed his lips against yours & even slipping his tongue last your lips while unbuckling his pants & pulling, “Anyone ever fucking tell you this is better than the goddamn playboy magazines I see you on everyday?” He teased while pulling away to rip off your shirt & bra, you couldn’t blame him rushing the situation since you were practically wet & aching for him

You sighed out as he pinched your nipples & bit at your neck while letting out a cocky laugh “Of course that fuckin’ turns you on, almost everything I do turns you on huh?” You let out a whine in response before nodding your head, You already looks disheveled, hair all sloppy, eyes glazed over, mouth parted, your hands clutched over his shoulders as you dug claw marks into his back while he would fondle your breasts & grin at you “Such a good damn girl for me aren’t you sweetheart?” He slid off his pants & took your panties off before aligning his cock with your entrance and holding onto your face while thrusting himself inside of you & letting out a guttural groan.

“So fucking tight f’me princess” He whimpered into your ear while you shoved your nose into the crook of his neck moaning, He slammed his hand against the wall behind you as he fucked further into you & filled you up to the hilt with his dick alone, You threw your head back letting out a loud moan before looking at him in the eyes “g-gonna fucking cum Cody!” You whimper out while he slapped your clit “It’s just that fucking easy for you isn’t it? All it takes is my cock to be inside of your pretty little pussy for more then 4 minutes & you already wanna cum and make a mess?” He mocked you while he started to pick up the pace.

You squealed and scratched his shoulders throwing your head back moaning “h-Holy shit cody!!” You felt like he was forcing you to your climax given the fact you felt that little feeling in your tummy, your body writhed against him while he continued fucking himself into you & rubbing your clit at a ridiculous place before sticking his tongue in your mouth & kissing you before groaning against your lips & spilling his cum inside of you while you had just hit your climax.

He held you close before picking you up & lying him down on his bed while he went to go grab a wet warm wash cloth but you teased him while wrapping around his blankets “Such a gentleman mr Rhodes” he looked over shrugging and chuckled “Only for the best.” He came back over to you & kissed the top off your head before cleaning you up “I think it’s safe to say you’re mine now sweetheart.” You laughed and tilted your head “Oh yeah? What makes you think that?” He looked at you scoffing “I just fucked you on my dresser shouldn’t that be enough for you?”

You laughed with him as he climbed in the bed with you ignoring the loud music & music surrounding the house & wrapped you around his arms while you fell asleep.

By the time you woke up the next morning you were more than hungover, in-fact, you were positive you were hot by a sledge hammer, You sat up groaning pushing your hair out of your face & huffing while Cody walked in with breakfast “Wakey wakey eggs and bakey” he plopped a plate on your lap while you rubbed your eyes glaring at him “I feel like I got ran over by a semi-truck.” He hummed “Well aren’t you just a little ray of sunshine!” You held up your middle finger & took a sip of the coffee he handed you “fuck you” he shrugged and set your plate of food on the night stand “Geez again? Wow you must REALLY be feeling me huh?”

You groaned out in annoyance and got up out of bed putting your clothes from last night “You’re not very funny codes.” He grinned and handed you a hairbrush “I’m fucking hilarious what are you on about.” You walked off to the bathroom but felt a quick smack on your ass and looked back to Cody walking off with a laugh.

Thank fucking god you did this on a Friday night because you were a hot mess.

The 16th WrestleMania was titled WrestleMania 2000 due to it taking place in the year 2000.

Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. (born October 20, 1971), also known by his stage name Snoop Dogg (previously Snoop Doggy Dogg), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, media personality, and actor. His initial fame dates back to 1992 following his guest appearance on Dr. Dre's debut solo single, "Deep Cover", and later on Dre's debut album, The Chronic that same year. Broadus has since sold over 23 million albums in the United States, and 35 million albums worldwide. His accolades include an American Music Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, and 17 Grammy Award nominations.

Produced entirely by Dr. Dre, Broadus's debut studio album, Doggystyle (1993) was released by Death Row Records and debuted atop the Billboard 200. Selling 800,000 copies in its first week, the album received quadruple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) the following year and spawned the Billboard Hot 100-top ten singles "What's My Name?" and "Gin and Juice". He was the lead performer on Death Row's soundtrack album for the 1994 short film Murder Was the Case, wherein Broadus made his acting debut. His second album, Tha Doggfather (1996), likewise debuted atop the chart and received double platinum certification.

In 1998, he parted ways with Death Row in favor of Master P's No Limit Records, through which he saw largely continued success with his albums Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told (1998), No Limit Top Dogg (1999), and Tha Last Meal (2000). He then signed with Priority, Capitol, and EMI Records to release his sixth album Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss (2002), which was further commercially oriented. This effectively continued upon him signing with Geffen Records to release his next three albums: R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece (2004), Tha Blue Carpet Treatment (2006), and Ego Trippin' (2008); the former spawned the single "Drop It Like It's Hot" (featuring Pharrell), which became his first to peak atop the Billboard Hot 100. He then returned to Priority and Capitol—upon his hiring as chairman of the former label—to release his tenth and eleventh albums, Malice 'n Wonderland (2009) and Doggumentary (2011), both of which saw mild critical and commercial response.

During this time, Broadus starred in films and hosted several television shows, including Doggy Fizzle Televizzle, Snoop Dogg's Father Hood, and Dogg After Dark. In 2012, following a trip to Jamaica, Snoop converted to Rastafari and adopted the alias Snoop Lion, under which he released a reggae album, Reincarnated (2013), and a namesake documentary film about his Jamaican experience.

His thirteenth studio album, Bush (2015), was produced entirely by frequent collaborator Pharrell, while his fourteenth studio album, Coolaid (2016), was released the same year as his induction into the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame. In 2018, Broadus became "a born-again Christian" and released his first gospel album, Bible of Love in March of that year. In November of that year, Broadus was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2022, Broadus acquired Death Row Records from MNRK Music Group (formerly known as eOne Music), and released his nineteenth studio album, BODR (2022)—preceded by the independently-released I Wanna Thank Me (2019) and From tha Streets 2 tha Suites (2021).

The Washington Post, Billboard, and NME have called him a "West Coast icon"; and Press-Telegram, "an icon of gangsta rap". In 2006, Vibe magazine called him "The King of the West Coast". ABC News journalist Paul Donoughue, cited him among the 1990s acts that took hip-hop into the pop music charts. Broadus received the BMI Icon Award in 2011. In 2023, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Broadus popularized the use of -izzle speak particularly in the pop and hip-hop music industry. A type of infix, it first found popularity when used by Frankie Smith in his 1981 hit song "Double Dutch Bus". The Guardian's Rob Fitzpatrick has credited his album Doggystyle for proving that rappers "could reinvent themselves", expanding rap's vocabulary, changing hip-hop fashions, and helping introduce a hip-hop genre called G-funk to a new generation. The album has been cited as an influence by rapper Kendrick Lamar, while fellow rappers ScHoolboy Q and Maxo Kream have also cited him as an influence.

25 Years Of Stratusfaction : The Debut Of Trish Stratus

Today is the anniversary of the debut of 7 time WWE Women’s Champion , 2 time WWE Hardcore Champion, 3x WWE Babe of The Year, 2003 Diva of The Decade , and WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2013 Inductee , Trish Stratus. As a goal for the blog this year , I want to cover more women’s wrestling .

Before coming to the WWE, Trish Stratus would have a career as a fitness model after being noticed by a publisher of the Canadian fitness magazine ,'MuscleMag International' , at the gym she worked as the receptionist in Toronto. She would be the model for the magazine’s test shoot in 1998. Therefore , her test shoot would be a success and she would be the cover star for the magazine’s May 1998 issue and sign a two year modeling contract. She would continue to model and appear on magazine covers for six months after her first test shoot. Stratus would also become the third host of a wrestling themed Canadian radio show , ‘ Live Audio Wrestling ’, which would be on The FAN 590 , a Toronto sports radio station. Thus , Stratus would say that she was a huge fan of pro wrestling growing up with her one of her favorite wrestlers being ‘ Macho Man ’ Randy Savage .

Stratus’ work as a fitness model would be noticed by the World Wrestling Federation ( now World Wrestling Entertainment ) , in 1999. Therefore , she would sign with the company in the fall of 1999 and begin her wrestling training under Ron Hutchinson. A year later , she would make her WWF/E TV debut .

On March 19,2000 , on the show , ‘ Sunday Night Heat ’, the debuting Trish Stratus would stand on the stage watching wrestlers , Test , and Albert. Therefore , on the March 20 episode of ‘ RAW Is War ’ , Test and Albert would become a tag team with Stratus as the valet/manager . While as T & A ’s valet , she would be put through a table by The Dudley Boyz at the ‘ Backlash ’ Pay-Per-View. This would be the first major bump that she would take . Thus, in the Summer of the same year , she would be the target for Rikishi to do his signature Stinkface too. Stratus would then take on another wrestler to manage, Val Venis. She would help him win the Intercontinental Championship, however , their partnership would end after he lost the championship as they were defeated by Eddie Guerrero and Chyna , with Guerrero becoming the new Intercontinental Champion. She would begin a storyline with her longtime rival , and best friend , Lita , after a 6 person mixed tag-team match on ' Smackdown ' . Stratus would keep attacking Lita every week , which led them to have a Strap match , on ‘ Raw ’ . Stratus would win the match with the help of Stephanie McMahon. She finished 2000 by going on a solo run after T & A disbanded and would lose matches for the WWF/E Women’s Championship. In 2001, she would begin a storyline relationship with Vince McMahon . It would end at Wrestlemania 17 with Stratus slapping McMahon. This would be her first time being a Babyface after being a Heel.

Stratus would team up with Lita and they would have a match with Torrie Wilson and Stacy Kiebler at the ‘ InVasion ’ Pay-Per-View. Due to an ankle injury , she wouldn’t be in the ring for three months. She was also supposed to have a storyline with Team Xtreme and a romance angle with Jeff Hardy during this time. To keep herself on WWF/E TV, she would become a co-host on the talk show , ‘ Excess ’ , alongside Jonathan Coachman. Stratus would win her first WWF/E Women’s Championship in a Six-Pack Challenge during her return at ‘ Survivor Series ’ . Stratus would feud with Jazz . On the January 17, 2002 edition of ‘ Smackdown! ’ , Jazz would attack Stratus , breaking her hand . She would be able to compete and retain the Women’s Championship as she was still dealing with the injury . She would continue to feud with Jazz, Victoria , and Lita. However, she would also team with Molly Holly and Gail Kim. She would also have another romance angle , this time with Chris Jericho. After overhearing Jericho and Christian make a bet about who could sleep with their girlfriends first , she would team up with Lita , who was the Kayfabe girlfriend of Christian, and they would confront the two men. This would lead to a ‘ Battle of The Sexes ’ match at ‘ Armageddon’ , with Stratus and Lita being on the losing end . Thus , she would continue the storyline with Jericho and fall for him in a new part. Thus , Christian would fake a Babyface turn and defeat Stratus in a match , which was ordered by ‘ RAW ’ General Manager , Eric Bischoff. This led to a rivalry between Christian and Chris Jericho. Stratus would turn Heel at Wrestlemania 20 and align herself with Christian.

Stratus would feud with multiple challengers after winning her fifth Women’s Championship, and lose it to Lita during the main event of ‘ RAW ’ on December 6, 2004. This would be the first time two WWE Divas would main event the weekly TV show . She would also feud with the winner of the 2004 ‘ Diva Search ’ , Christy Hemme. Their rivalry would be over Stratus’ jealousy of Hemme getting attention due to her being featured in ‘ Playboy ’ Magazine . After being injured in 2005 , she would return to be the tag team partner for Ashley Massaro in their feud against Torrie Wilson , Candice Michelle, and Victoria , a group known as ‘ Vince’s Devils ’. This feud would also lead into the introduction of Mickie James , who said she was her biggest fan. The two have a rivalry as well.

Trish Stratus would win her seventh and final Women’s Championship in 2006 at ‘ Unforgiven ’ . Her final opponent for her first retirement would be Lita. She would begin making part time appearances in 2008 as John Cena’s tag team partner and in 2009 as a guest-hostess for ‘ Monday Night RAW ’ and participated in a 6 man mixed tag team match . In 2011, she would make a surprise appearance at ‘ Elimination Chamber ’ to announce her role as a trainer on ‘ Tough Enough ’ and come to the aid of Kelly Kelly as she was being attacked by LayCool. She would also be in a 6 person mixed tag team match alongside John Morrison and ‘ Jersey Shore ’ star , Nicole ‘ Snooki ’ Polizzi at Wrestlemania 27. She would also appear on the 1000th episode of ‘ Monday Night RAW ’ in 2012. In 2018, she would be honored during the 25 anniversary of ‘ RAW ’ in 2018. She was also a surprise entrant in 2018 Women’s Royal Rumble match. She would also participate in the all women Pay-Per-View , ‘ Evolution’, in a match against Mickie James and Alicia Fox with Alexa Bliss in their corner. Her partner would be Lita. In 2019, she would face Charlotte Flair at ‘ Summerslam ’. In 2022, Stratus would make a full time return and have feuds with Damage CTRL, and have a match with them with Becky Lynch and Lita as her partners . She would also feud with Lynch and Zoey Stark. Stratus would also host the 2024 ‘ Money In The Bank ’ Premium Live Event in her hometown of Toronto, and participate in the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble. She recently joined forces with WWE Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton, at ‘ Elimination Chamber ’ in a tag team against Nia Jax and Candice LeRae.

My Final Thoughts:

Trish Stratus is the epitome of women’s wrestling . She has done it all . She’s inspired today’s generation of women’s wrestlers and she’s inspired me. This blog wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for legends like her! All I gotta say is thank you , Trish ! - Kay

Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Sunny x Fem Reader- "Poker Face"

Near the end of 1997, you took a photo for WWF Raw magazine, where the photo had you, Triple H, Shawn Michaels and Sunny sitting around a square shaped table.

This picture had you wearing a silky spaghetti strapped teddy camiknicker, whereas Sunny was dressed in a baby pink camisole with matching frilly pink panties.

Shawn and Triple H both had their long hair hanging down in this photo where they were both pictured shirtless.

Shawn was just wearing a pair of boxers in this photo.

In this picture, you, Shawn, Triple H and Sunny were sitting around a table holding playing cards while poker chips were sitting in the middle of the table.

One of your hands was pulling down a strap of your teddy off of your shoulder, where your strap was dangling at your upper arm.

Your dress was laying down on the floor in this picture, whereas Sunny had shorts and a T-shirt placed on the floor near her.

A T-shirt and jeans Shawn assumedly wore was laying on the floor near his feet, whereas a T-shirt Triple H had worn was laying on the floor.

Considering Sunny is a huge sex symbol, one of her hands could've pulled down the strap of her camisole to imply she's getting undressed.

This picture was meant to be a picture of you, Sunny and these male wrestlers playing strip poker.

You could've worn other outfits in this photo, like have a picture of you wearing Sunny's baby pink camisole and panties, a pair of shorts while you sat there topless (although the photo is taken behind your bare back), or even sitting there wearing a bra and miniskirt while one of your hands was holding the T-shirt you were assumably wearing.

Sunny, too, could've even sat topless wearing just short shorts or wearing a bra while one of her hands holds a T-shirt.

There were so many options for this photoshoot.

Your options as well as the teddy you were wearing (and the camisole and panties Sunny was wearing) were inspired by moments of women from "Three's Company".
