2023 was undoubtedly the year of WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare was part of every major storyline and also fought the most number of matches in the calendar year compared to any other wrestler in the promotion. Owing to this, he also became the top-voted wrestler in several fan polls online, leaving everyone else behind.

A recent social media upload made this fact more concrete as Cody Rhodes had an adorable interaction with a young admirer. In fact, fans clamored for Rhodes to win the WWE Championship as soon as possible.
