Cody Rhodes is one of the most popular superstars in the wrestling industry due to his stints with the WWE and AEW. The American Nightmare was a former WWE superstar who left the company back in 2016. However, after earning his name on the indie circuit, Rhodes would c0-found AEW along with several other independent wrestlers and Tony Khan.

AEW soon became a direct competitor to WWE and rose up the ranks. While WWE is one of the biggest wrestling promotions, AEW is not far behind. Tony Khan’s wrestling promotion is one of the biggest names and a direct threat to the Stamford-based wrestling promotion currently.

However, after an extremely good run with AEW, Rhodes would leave the promotion last year in February. While speculations arose of his return to WWE, it would turn true out to be true when he made his way into the company at WrestleMania 38 and faced Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins.

However, after a series of matches with Rollins, Rhodes would suffer a pectoral injury and ruled himself out for an indefinite period. He recently returned to Royal Rumble 2023, and won the event, while also challenging Roman Reigns for his undisputed title.
