Cody Rhodes is among the most respected superstars in all of sports entertainment. After leaving AEW last year and going to WWE, Rhodes elevated himself to a higher position, becoming a main-event level talent.

Although, last year, just months after making his return to WWE, he suffered a pectoral injury, and had to be sidelined. But Rhodes recovered and made his return at Royal Rumble 2023, and won the event to establish a match between him and Reigns at WrestleMania 39.
