The mystery guest joining Cody Rhodes and Charlotte Flair for their upcoming sit-down interview has been revealed — and it’s Hollywood star O’Shea Jackson Jr., son of rap legend Ice Cube.

Jackson confirmed the news on Monday, October 19 in an Instagram post, announcing he’ll take part in The Roundtable, which premieres Wednesday, October 21 on Heyman Hustle TV alongside Rhodes, Flair and host Jacob Heyman, the son of Paul Heyman.
‘The Heel That You Love to Hate’
“I know what you’re thinking. ‘There’s no way…’ That’s right folks, Wednesday October 21st you will be able to catch the roundtable convo between @americannightmarecody @charlottewwe @jacob.heyman. And the heel that you love to hate. Me,” Jackson joked in his announcement, leaning into wrestling terminology with a wink.
Dropping the comedy for a moment, the Straight Outta Compton star — who portrayed his father Ice Cube in the 2015 film — described the sit-down as surprisingly personal and even therapeutic. “All fun aside, this was truly an honor to even be able to sit with Charlotte, Cody, and Jacob. An amazing conversation and look into things from their perspective. And honestly very therapeutic,” he wrote.
Four Legacies at One Table
The reveal gives The Roundtable a fascinating common thread: every participant grew up in the shadow of a famous parent. Rhodes is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes, Flair is the daughter of Ric Flair, Heyman is the son of Paul Heyman, and Jackson is the son of Ice Cube. Four legacies, one table.
The announcement ends the mystery that began Friday, when Flair first teased the interview. Heyman Hustle TV had been building anticipation since October 8, hinting the show would reveal a side of Cody Rhodes fans had never seen. The timing is fitting — Rhodes has recently been opening up about feeling increasingly isolated from the WWE locker room.
Heyman Hustle TV releases the official trailer Monday at 6:45 PM ET, with the full episode landing Wednesday, October 21.
