The Godfather Unscathed Following Car Accident

Charles Wright - AKA The Godfather - has miraculously walked away unscathed from a serious car accident which saw the vehicle roll over three times.

Taking to Instagram, Wright posted a photo of the wrecked Dodge Ram and wrote: "I definitely believe in the safety of a Dodge Ram. Rolled three times and both of us walked away without a scratch."

Wright later explained how the accident occurred, adding:

"It's just really bad weather here in West Virginia. We started hydroplaning, I wasn't driving. But then we started hydroplaning, then went into a three-truck roll. But it's going to take more than that to take me out. But thank you everybody for your concern. I just want everyone to know I'm okay and I'm still smoking."

While no longer a regular wrestler, The Godfather continues to make sporadic appearances on WWE programming, including earlier this year when he was among the legends shown at the 2025 Royal Rumble. Charles Wright has been signed to a WWE Legends deal since 2003 when he ended his full-time in-ring career and he signed a new five-year deal in 2023.

Wright performed for WWE across multiple runs between 1991 and 2002 as Papa Shango, Kama, and The Godfather. Wright previously revealed plans to wrestle as his three gimmicks in the 2020 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal but those plans were scrapped due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
