I am a WWE editor at EssentiallySports. I cultivated my passion for pro wrestling when The Undertaker rose from the dead to take out the dastardly Randy Orton in order to ensure his WrestleMania streak remained intact. Since then; I have undertook a journey to delve into the amazing world of pro wrestling where the sublime meets the ridiculous.

At ES, I have been part of Monday Night RAW coverage which is my favorite day of the week. I was there when The Undertaker returned after his retirement on RAW 30 and have seen the rise and rise of The Judgment Day, while still awaiting Cody Rhodes to finish his story. I work in tandem with my peers to carve out unique content that strikes a chord with the wrestling faithful. Away from my work desk, I like to binge Netflix shows and catch my favorite sports moments on YouTube. You can reach out to me on X at @AmalJoyce5.

Since Cody Rhodes [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cody-rhodes/] announced that he would not complete his story at WrestleMania 40, fans have been unhappy [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-the-rock-roman-reigns-news-please-retire-fans-continue-their-onslaught-as-dwayne-johnson-edits-social-media-post-to-hide-negativity-after-taking-cody-rhodes-wrestlemania-forty-spot/]. The American Nightmare worked for an entire year, becoming the most over star on the show. Finally, after winning the Royal Rumble and getting a chance to face Roman Reigns [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roman-reigns/] for the title and main event of WrestleMania, he gave it up to Dwayne Johnson. While fans have been waiting for the inevitable Johnson vs Reigns match, they did not think Rhodes would have to sacrifice his spot for it. SAMI ZAYN TRIES TO DEFEND DWAYNE JOHNSON THEN DELETES THE POST While Rhodes gave away his spot at WrestleMania to Johnson by his own accord, fans still blame The Rock for this. With his recent seat at the TKO Holdings Group board table, fans are well aware that he can now do a lot more than before in the WWE. So, is this just WWE drama, or something else at play? If you ask Sami Zayn, there could be more at play here. In a now-deleted post, Zayn offered up his two cents on the matter. Taking to social media, he first addressed the fact that many people had their opinions on the current wrestling drama. It was referring to the fact that everyone seemed to be up in arms [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-if-youre-going-to-hijack-former-raw-superstar-calls-out-cody-rhodes-fans-for-taking-over-nxt-stars-comments-section-amid-dwayne-johnson-hate-dijak-roman-reigns/] about Johnson taking Rhodes’ place. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/sami-zayn-12.jpg] He would go on to say, “I too would weigh in, if not for the fact that there are actual tragedies in the world happening daily.” This statement seemed to take fans aback by what Zayn was actually trying to say, as there was no specification. While fans are aware of the countless tragedies taking place, this uproar of fans is nothing new in the pro wrestling world.

Before things could take another turn, the post was deleted. Nevertheless, what do you make of Zayn’s outlook on the Cody Rhodes and Dwayne Johnson dilemma? Let us know in the comments section below.

As the heat over Dwayne Johnson taking Cody Rhodes' spot at WrestleMania 40's main event rages, Sami Zayn breaks his silence over the matter.

My passion for professional wrestling began when I saw Kane ripping the Hell in
a Cell door off in the iconic 1997 match. I used to enjoy watching WWE re-runs
at 5 in the evening when I got home from school. It was sort of a ritual for me.
I loved watching Jeff Hardy jump off any tall structure and that was an
adrenaline rush despite having crippling altophobia. For me pro wrestling has
been an escape and still is. Now, I write about wrestling to share the
excitement I felt as a kid with others. I have also been a part of the FanCast
at ES, which was a great opportunity. Going from a freelance content writer to
someone who gets to cover live events and interviews at ES was a major upgrade
in my professional life. Apart from WWE, I love watching movies and picking out
the flaws in storytelling or the plot. You can drop a message to me at LinkedIn:

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Cody Rhodes: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</b></h2>
Cody Rhodes was at one point probably the biggest star on the AEW roster, despite its ever-expanding horizons. <span style="font-weight: 400"> He is a professional wrestler currently signed with WWE as he is renowned as the American Nightmare. Despite being the son of the legendary Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes, Cody did not get off to a dream start in WWE, but he made a comeback in 2023 and since then has popularized himself as the top babyface in the company. </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodes’ early life</strong></h2>
Cody Rhodes was born on June 30, 1985, in Marietta, Georgia, United States to the legendary WWE Superstar Dusty Rhodes and Michelle Rubio Rhodes. Considered a legend in wrestling, Dustin formed a major part of the National Wrestling Alliance and the World Wrestling Federation for over a decade. After making a mark as one of the prominent wrestlers of his time, he also earned respect by training new talent.

Meanwhile, Cody's brother, Dustin (Goldust) is also a wrestler, and both siblings have proudly followed their father's footsteps. He is currently signed with AEW and, over the years, has also worked with other organizations like WCW, WWE, TNA, and AEW. Rhodes also has two sisters named Teil Gergel Margaret and Kristin Ditto. Speaking of his educational qualifications, he completed high school at Lassiter High School.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodes' wife and children</strong></h2>
Cody Rhodes met his wife Brandi Rhodes, born Brandi Alexis Reed. In 2011 while working for WWE and the couple tied the knot in September 2013. Before Cody, his father met Brandi during a training session and seemed quite impressed with her green eyes. In 2015, Reed made headlines as the first Black woman ring announcer at WrestleMania.

However, her career graph resembled that of her husband's at one point as in 2015 she was also released from WWE, and following that she joined AEW for a brief period. Meanwhile, it was in June 2021 that the wrestling couple welcomed their daughter, Liberty Iris Runnels.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodes' net worth</strong></h2>
As per Pinkvilla, Cody Rhodes enjoys a net worth of $8 million. His salary details are kept under wraps, but it is believed that he earns over $0.5 million annually from the company. Rhodes has made many other small investments, like in gyms, to earn some extra income. He also takes home a good amount because of his endorsements with brands like WWE Shop, Mattel Creation, Migsmedia, and Fanatics.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>All about the wrestling career of Cody Rhodes</strong></h2>
</div>
July 16, 2007 marked Cody Rhodes' debut in WWE as he fought against Randy Orton in the prime-time show Raw. It was in September that he claimed the world tag team title with his partner Hardcore Holly while Rhodes also went on to win many championship titles after forming a tag team with Ted DiBiase Jr.

[caption id="attachment_512030" align="aligncenter" width="612"]<img class="wp-image-512030 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210112001607/cody-legacy.jpg" alt="Cody Rhodes with Ted DiBiase Jr and Randy Orton" width="612" height="427" /> LAS VEGAS - AUGUST 24: (L-R) Wrestlers Ted DiBiase, Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes appear during the WWE Monday Night Raw show at the Thomas &amp; Mack Center August 24, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)[/caption]

One of the prominent moments in his wrestling career came in 2008 when he formed a faction named Legacy alongside DiBiase and Orton. Despite forming partnerships with different wrestlers, Rhodes failed to find a proper footing in the world's biggest wrestling promotion. In 2013, he also formed a team with his elder brother Dustin, and the two defeated <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roman-reigns/">Roman Reigns</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/seth-rollins">Seth Rollins</a> to win the WWE Battleground 2013, followed by a victory in the WWE Tag Team Championship.

In 2014, the wrestler rebranded himself as Stardust, a title used by his father at some point in his career. However, despite the accolades, Cody Rhodes was not satisfied with his role in WWE and requested to leave in 2016. Following his departure from the company, AEW saw his massive potential and signed him. After giving him a new look and an excellent character, Cody Rhodes looked evergreen. He was also the Executive Vice President of the promotion.

He held the AEW TNT Championship twice in 2020, losing to Brodie Lee and Darby Allin. However, on December 25 at the Holiday Bash episode of Rampage, Rhodes defeated Sammy Guevara to win the TNT Championship for a record 3rd time. On February 15, 2022, Rhodes left AEW.

It was a golden period for the wrestler as he participated in various promotions, including ROH, Impact Wrestling, etc. Meanwhile, it was a homecoming for Rhodes after six years as he participated in WrestleMania 38 and defeated Seth Rollins to capture all the headlines. What followed was an impressive performance by the star at WrestleMania 39 to challenge Roman Reigns for the title.

However, he failed to create a history and lost the marquee match. It was not the end of the story for the icon as the odds were in his favor to work his charm and defeat Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
<div class="jsx-45ea8ad8a1b58c7c">
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodes’ current WWE contract</strong></h2>
Wrestling icon Cody Rhodes made a stunning comeback to WWE in April 2023 after defeating Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 39 and since then he has been the focal point of discussion in the company. Seeing his popularity, it should not be a surprise that WWE wanted Rhodes to extend his stay and, in the same light, he signed a contract in October last year. However, no information regarding the financial terms and other conditions has been disclosed.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodes' career stats</strong></h2>
In his glorious wrestling career, Cody Rhodes has participated in a total of 1996 matches, winning 977 and losing 989 games. He enjoys a winning percentage of 48.9% while his losing percentage of 49.5% is underwhelming, to say the least. Meanwhile, the wrestler has 1.5% (30 matches) draws to his name.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodes' achievements </strong></h2>
Dawning his The American Nightmare persona, Cody Rhodes has collected plenty of achievements to his name.

</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>All about Cody Rhodes' charities</strong></h2>
Cody has a very giving heart and has done his fair share of helping society. During the pandemic, he released a new line of American Nightmare T-shirts to be sold as merchandise and announced that the profits from the sales would be directed to the relief of COVID-19 patients.

In 2017, following a match, Cody auctioned off his boots and donated the money to Austin Pets Alive, an organization that takes care of stray dogs and other pets. He also donated the money that came in from the online Twitch tips. All the dogs that were available for adoption on the show found homes following that match.

[caption id="attachment_1976431" align="aligncenter" width="1600"]<img class="wp-image-1976431 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/cody-rhodes-imago.jpg" alt="Cody Rhodes" width="1600" height="1066" /> Image Courtesy: Imago[/caption]

In the same year, Rhodes made a deal with a fan who asked how much would it cost to be slammed through thumbtacks. Cody agreed on the condition that the money would be donated to charity and said that he would match the money raised as well. $1,404 ended up being donated to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital Rhodes and WrestlePro.

Moreover, in August 2023, Cody Rhodes joined hands with another superstar named Liv Morgan to pack meals for Detroiters in need and help raise money to help the Connor's Cure organization. To help the same organization in September again, Cody, along with WWE, sold his signed robe for $<em>46,700</em>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodes’ house</strong></h2>
Cody Rhodes lives in a very cozy house in Cheval, Florida and it is said to have a worth of $500,000. It is believed that Rhodes shifted into the house after 2018, as in that year he posted a story on his Instagram account asking his followers for help in purchasing a mansion in Florida.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodes' car collection</strong></h2>
Cody Rhodes is the owner of three luxury cars, including a Lamborghini Urus worth $218,000, a Mercedes G Class worth $131,600, and a Porsche Panamera worth $88,000.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodes' theme song</strong></h2>
The American Nightmare aka Cody Rhodes has one of the best entry songs in the WWE in the form of 'Kingdom'. The wrestler's theme song came to life in 2016, as it was recorded by the rock band Downstait during Rhodes' departure from the company. It highlights the story of a sports personality who is all set to achieve greatness because of the support of fans from all over the world.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodes' coat</strong></h2>
Cody Rhodes is said to have the best fashion sense in World Wrestling Entertainment. Over the years, he has flaunted a lot of costumes and styles but none have managed to beat his iconic white military coat. The professional wrestler is a self-proclaimed huge American history buff and takes pride in wearing a garment that oozes elegance.

<h2>Sami Zayn 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
WWE has gone for the maniacs before, but no one pulls it off quite like Sami Zayn. ?The Untouchable? has been a massive crowd attraction for WWE and is a key part of the main roster today.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/all/2019/04/Sami_Zayn-bio--c1418ad5ede8c73e8dc5df623780d5bd.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

His persona of an annoying yet capable star has really taken off with the crowd. Zayn pushes the limits of his character, which gets more and more cringe each day but does not fall over the edge.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

The in-your-face persona of Zayn has really made people enjoy his antics, and even though it doesn?t keep him in the serious part of things, he can not be taken lightly.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

[caption id="attachment_420623" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-420623 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201023192526/GettyImages-643891640-1.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1157" /> DUESSELDORF, GERMANY - FEBRUARY 22: Braun Strowman (L) is attacked by Sami Zayn (R) during to the WWE Live Duesseldorf event at ISS Dome on February 22, 2017 in Duesseldorf, Germany.

<h2>History</h2>
<h3>Early Career and Promotions</h3>
Sami Zayn worked hard like any wrestler to get where he is today. He worked for several developmental promotions such as International Wrestling Syndicate, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Chikara, and ROH (Ring of Honour) before making it to NXT.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/002/112/814/El-Generico_crop_north.jpg?1358794735&amp;w=3072&amp;h=2048" alt="" width="1440" height="960" data-noaft="1" />

Many may not know it, but the ?Battery Man? wrestled for 13 years of his wrestling career wearing a mask; he called himself El Generico. However, when he joined NXT, he took off that mask.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Sami Zayn had a boatload of experience owing to his knowledge from the best of the promotions. While most wrestlers choose one, Zayn went through it all.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8f/c6/55/8fc655e016a5d762877e33499b2d6a12.jpg" alt="" width="4288" height="2848" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>WWE NXT</h3>
Coming into WWE?s developmental brand, Zayn already had 11 years of experience in him from his past wrestling endeavors. And his skill quickly placed him above the rest.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/63TiOlxIKjucAFGzrjh1t-n36es=/0x0:708x472/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/49917993/NXT_REV_Photob_54-4035331215.0.0.0.jpg" alt="" width="1310" height="873" data-noaft="1" />

Zayn became so good that he even called himself ?The Heart and Soul of NXT? for a while. In his debut year, Sami Zayn worked the entire time towards the NXT Championship.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

From his first match in January 2013, he worked his way up to the title but was pushed down. He finally managed to clinch it in December that year with a victory over Neville.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/tribdem.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/3/4d/34d197e0-8737-11e4-b8d0-b363d40ac74f/5493a9060d278.image.jpg" alt="" width="1020" height="680" data-noaft="1" />

?The Untouchable? lost his title after 62 days following a disastrous defeat at the hands of Kevin Owens, who would go on to have a major role in Zayn?s career.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>WWE Main roster</h3>
Sami Zayn made it into the main roster and found himself among the biggest names in the business. He quickly got into a feud with an old rival, one that took the gold away from him.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
