Hi, I'm Donna, the editor for WWE at EssentiallySports. I help our writers dot their i's, cross their t's, and ensure they get all their facts straight. I am particularly invested in the world of wrestling since it's unlike any other sport currently televised. The thought put behind orchestrating wacky storylines and building hype for months on end is incredible and something that I enjoy keeping track of. Particularly, I like the shenanigans Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio get up to as part of The Judgment Day, as well as watching what up-and-coming talents have to offer over at NXT.

During my time at ES, I have been doing live coverage of WWE SmackDown which currently hosts our ?Head of the Table? Roman Reigns. Prior to this, I worked as a reporter for a national newspaper, covering investigative stories on education, space, science, and tech. While these might seem worlds apart, I still enjoy getting into the nitty gritty of stories here at ES, picking apart details and finding out facts about wrestlers that most would overlook. In my spare time, I enjoy delving into my hobbies: writing, drawing, or just goofing off with my cat.

The pro wrestling world and WWE fandom have been left on a cliffhanger since The Rock showed up and Cody Rhodes won the 2024 Royal Rumble. Apart from that, the Road to WrestleMania 40 has officially begun. Due to this, fans are excited as a new chapter in the current story is about to start. This has left fans with many questions. While fans are eagerly waiting to see the fallout of the rumble, they might keep their eyes open as they can spot a familiar face tonight at the SmackDown. DWAYNE JOHNSON AT SMACKDOWN? Rumors have been flying that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been spotted in the city of Birmingham, Alabama, where the latest episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown is set to take place at the Legacy Arena. If these are to be believed, Johnson was last seen at the Amped Fitness Center in the Magic City. What is more interesting is that Cody Rhodes is set to have a word with the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns tonight. This will be Reigns’ first appearance since Royal Rumble. It will be interesting to see how Dwayne Johnson’s visit to the Legacy Arena will change the course of Cody Rhodes’ story.

The answer might be out now. THE ROCK VS THE TRIBAL CHIEF It has been stated that the possibility of a bout between Johnson and Reigns is pretty high. However, the issue that remains is whether will it be feasible for WWE to arrange for a bout between the cousins at a stage when WrestleMania 40 is just weeks away. It is highly unlikely that the creative at WWE might go forward with Rhodes vs Reigns at the main event as Rhodes is set to announce his WrestleMania 40 opponent tonight. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Cody-Rhodes-WWE.png] WWE has been keeping Rhodes’ decision under wraps with Rollins now persuading the American Nightmare to challenge him at WrestleMania 40. This might be a trick being pulled by WWE to through fans off with the obvious speculation. It is also being said that a Reigns vs The Rock match is something that has a chance to happen at the 2024 Crown Jewel [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-wwes-plans-for-dwayne-johnson-vs-roman-reigns-revealed-and-its-not-wrestlemania-forty/]. Fans will surely get to witness the two Samoan giants face off. However, it might not be that soon. What are your views on Dwayne Johnson fighting Roman Reigns?

Dwayne Johnson was seen in the town of Birmingham, Alabama where the latest episode of the Friday Night SmackDown is set to take place

For me pro wrestling has two things that I like the most, storytelling and
fighting. Let?s just say movies are failing to keep me entertained in those
departments. I grew up watching WWF and not WWE and any hardcore fan will agree
that the two are not the same, but I love both iterations. I have gone from
watching ?Stone Cold? Steve Austin beat up his boss to Daniel Bryan fighting
against The Authority. At EssentiallySports let?s just say I write about the men
in tights who make money for men in suits. I especially like to write
speculative pieces as it is more fun to predict the ever "unpredictable"
storylines of WWE. Apart from wrestling, I like to scribble a couple of poems at
times and read something to keep my mind fertile. You can always catch me

<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.

Dwayne Johnson - Net Worth 2024, Family, and Career

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns is one of the biggest faces to emerge from WWE in the past few years. H<span style="font-weight: 400">e is the current and the longest reigning Undisputed WWE Universal champion and is notorious for leading one of wrestling's most storied families called The Bloodline. </span>Despite receiving mixed fan reviews, the wrestler is considered a favorite of Vince McMahon. As a result, he is one of the most heavily pushed stars in the company. Roman has wrestling running in his family, with his father Sika Anoa'i, and late brother Rosey being former wrestlers. His cousins Umaga, Yokozuna, Rikishi, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/">Dwayne Johnson</a> were all prominent wrestlers in the company.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns’ Early Life</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns, whose actual name is Leati Joseph Anoa'i, was born on May 25, 1985, in Pensacola, Florida to Leati ‘Sika’ Anoaʻi and Patricia Anoa'i. Reigns' father lived in the Leone village of American Samoa before moving to San Fransisco, California while his mother hails from Italy. He has three sisters named Vanessa, Myritza, and Summer while his elder brother Matthew Tapunu'u Anoaʻi aka Rosey died in April 2017.

Speaking of his education, the wrestler went to Pensacola Catholic High School followed by Escambia High School. He also studied at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2007.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns’ wife and children</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns has been happily married to Galina Becker since 2014 and they are proud parents of five children. The couple met each other in 2007 at the Georgia Institute of Technology and have been going strong since then. Reigns and Becker welcomed their daughter Joelle in December 2007 and they became parents to twin sons in 2016. In 2020, Galina gave birth to another set of twins.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns Net Worth 2024</strong></h2>
Reigns is one of the highest-paid wrestlers in WWE. According to Sports World News, the Samoan superstar has a net worth of $20 million.  His salary with the WWE touches $5 million annually. However, after additional perks and bonuses, it goes up quite a lot. This is not his only source of income, as he also acts in movies and has cash-rich endorsements.

Reigns earns a good amount of money by selling merchandise while he has also enjoyed endorsement deals with big brands like Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Nike.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns’ Career Timeline</strong></h2>
Roman didn't immediately take a liking to professional wrestling. Formerly, he was a professional football player, representing Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars in the National Football League in 2007. Notably, the Pensacola native was <span style="font-weight: 400">released by both football teams without having played in any regular season games. </span>

He later moved to professional wrestling in July 2010. Roman debuted as Roman Leakee in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), but the Superstar would make his main roster debut in the year 2012 as a part of The Shield, one of the most successful stables in the company's history. After the group split in 2014, Roman was quickly pushed as the face of the company and as a successor to John Cena.

However, his momentum got an enormous setback when the WWE star was diagnosed with Leukemia in the year 2018. His champion spirit would push him to make a comeback which has led him to his current status in the company. Reigns returned to WWE at SummerSlam 2020, months after preferring to stay out of in-ring action due to safety concerns during the pandemic. He introduced his heel character for the first time and received a huge reception from virtual fans.

'The Big Dog' went on to capture the WWE Universal Championship as he defeated The Fiend and Braun Strowman at Payback. Reigns then went on to have a rivalry with Jay USO. At Hell in a Cell, Reigns defeated Jey in an 'I Quit' match, and following that Jey was ordered to address Roman as 'The Tribal Chief.'

Following that at Survivor Series Reigns defeated Raw Champion Drew McIntyre in a Champion vs Champion match. Following that, Reigns was involved in a feud with Kevin Owens. He faced and defeated Owens at TLC 2020 and the Royal Rumble 2021. 'The Trible Chief' had a rivalry with Daniel Bryan, whom he defeated twice at the Elimination Chamber and Fastlane. Reigns faced Bryan and Edge (Who had won the 2021 Royal Rumble Match) at WrestleMania, and he successfully defended the title at the event.

Reigns then faced the returning Edge at the Money in the Bank event and again retained his title. Following that, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena">John Cena</a> challenged Reigns to a match at SummerSlam and after a bit of delay, he accepted the match and defeated Cena at SummerSlam. Apart from defeating Finn Balor at Extreme Rules, 'The Tribal Chief' also fought against Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel and, with the help of the Usos, defended his title.
