The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cody-rhodes/] closed tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW with an all-out brawl and a big statement for his enemies, The Bloodline. However, when RAW went off the air, the American Nightmare regained his composure and took the request of a fan in attendance as he made a wholesome gesture. What was the gesture? Well, it was something that was one of the biggest moments in a person’s life. As Rhodes did a gender reveal. CODY RHODES’ GENDER REVEAL After Paul Heyman, left the ring, Rhodes remained inside the squared circle to address the San Jose crowd attending tonight’s edition of WWE’s flagship show. It was when Cody Rhodes received an envelope from a fan. And that envelope had the gender of their unborn child written inside it. Giving ‘The American Nightmare’ a chance, they asked him to disclose the baby’s gender because they hadn’t yet opened the envelope. And it was then that Cody Rhodes was seen revealing the sex of the baby in front of the WWE Universe who had come to watch RAW. Rhodes stated that they were going to welcome a baby boy into their lives. He said, “Gender reveal time … San Jose, I need a drum roll please …. it’s a boy.” This gesture fits really well with him crowning himself as the new ‘People’s Champion’. Unlike Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/] who according to the American Nightmare can barely take out time for the WWE Universe, or cares about what they want. As mentioned, before RAW went off the air, Cody Rhodes wrestled Grayson Waller in the show’s main event and emerged victorious. He then found himself confronted by The Bloodline’s Wiseman, Paul Heyman, and a group of NYPD officers. After rejecting Heyman’s plea to Cody to reconsider his decision to challenge The Rock, Rhodes eliminated Heyman’s security guys and warned The Bloodline that he would pursue them. Rhodes’ Challenge to Dwayne the Rock Johnson & Roman Reigns – EssentiallySports [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-im-hunting-the-bloodline-everything-you-need-to-know-about-cody-rhodes-challenge-to-dwayne-the-rock-johnson-roman-reigns/] We’ll have to wait and see what The Rock says when he makes his appearance on SmackDown this week. What do you think of Cody Rhodes having a little moment on RAW in the middle of his war with The Bloodline? Let us know in the comments! Rhodes’ Challenge to Dwayne the Rock Johnson & Roman Reigns – EssentiallySports [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-im-hunting-the-bloodline-everything-you-need-to-know-about-cody-rhodes-challenge-to-dwayne-the-rock-johnson-roman-reigns/]

<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">Â 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.Â </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodesâ€™ early life</strong></h2>

He is currently signed with AEW and, over the years, has also worked with other organizations like WCW, WWE, TNA, and AEW.Â 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.Â Meanwhile, it was in June 2021 that the wrestling couple welcomed their daughter, Liberty Iris Runnels.

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.

Many even expect it to touch the $1 billion mark with the Teremana tequila valuation increasing. The former wrestling star earns a whopping $270 million per year. All about Dwayne Johnson &#8211; family, kids, wife, and affairs A family man, Johnson always holds dear the most important people in his life; be it his mother, his cousins, his wife, or his children. Dwayne Johnson loves spending time with his family and is fond of having a special time with them. His father, Rocky Johnson, was also a pro wrestler, while his mother, Ata Johnson, belonged to the famous Anoa&#8217;i wrestling family. Thus, The Rock&#8217;s heritage is linked with the respected wrestling family, and he shares his lineage with some of the popular Samoan wrestlers. Johnson is a father to three daughters. Simone Johnson, the eldest, was born to his first wife, Dany Garcia, while his other two daughters, Jasmine Johnson and Tiana Johnson, were born to his current wife, Lauren Hashian. Simone Johnson followed in her father&#8217;s footsteps and stepped into WWE. She is currently part of NXT Roster under the ring name &#8216;Ava Raine&#8217;. Credits: Imago Growing up, The Rock did not experience luxury and did not have the pleasure of owning a proper home. However, with his current status, he lives in a mansion in Beverly Park, Los Angeles. How did Dwayne Johnsonâ€™s early life look like? Dwayne Johnson spent his childhood in multiple places. Born in Hayward, he spent his life in New Zealand, Honolulu, Charlotte, Hamden, and Nashville. The Rock&#8217;s father was a pro wrestler and was an inspiration to him. While growing up, Johnson faced a lot of hardships and struggles. Quite often, he and his mother wereÂ thrown out of their houses for not paying the rent, or Johnson would also find himself in trouble with the law frequently. The former wrestler knows what struggle is, and having experienced every bit of it, he is blessed for the life he has right now. He graduated from high school, enrolled on a full scholarship at The University of Miami, and aspired to be a professional player there. But life had other plans for him. After not getting drafted for the NFL, Johnson flew out to Canada to play in the Canadian League. Unfortunately, two months later, he was dropped. People might wonder if Johnson has served in the army, but he has not.  NEW YORK, NEW YORK &#8211; NOVEMBER 02: Dwane &#8220;the Rock&#8221; Johnson holds the belt for the Welterweight bout between Jorge Masvidal of the United States and Nate Diaz of the United States during UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden on November 02, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Steven Ryan/Getty Images)  During this dark phase of his career, he traced back to his roots and joined the family legacy of pro wrestling. Soon, he was roped in by WWE, where he made his debut as Rocky Maivia, a character that failed to work well. What followed was a major heel turn, and &#8216;The Rock&#8217;, the name that set well with his identity, was born. There were years of entertainment, Championship wins, and massive pushes he received from Vince McMahon. At this point, WWE was heading into the Attitude Era, a more rebellious stage. Johnson rose to his peak during this era and made a name for himself. Apart from his wrestling skills, he was also known for his promo abilities and revolutionized the art of cutting promos. The Attitude Era took The Rock to prominence, and it attracted Hollywood as well; like bees to honey. Soon, they offered him multiple projects, and in 2001, The Rock left WWE to make a career in the movies. A look at the football career of Dwayne Johnson When it comes to the NFL, Johnson did not experience a happy phase. During the early stage of his football career, The Brahma Bull was rejected during the NFL drafts and had to move to Canada to play football. Now he is in an entirely different league of his own. While he does not own an NFL team yet, he is the owner of XFL. A direct competitor to the NFL, XFL has set up an R&amp;D partnership with the NFL, to expand the sport of football. All about the wrestling career of Dwayne Johnson A failed football career motivated The Rock to pursue pro wrestling. After his initial babyface gimmick failed, he turned heel. Johnson&#8217;s heel turn was a reviving moment in his career, and after that, he never had to look back. He reached new heights and tasted success with this new loud-mouthed, no-nonsense gimmick. During this transition phase of his career, Pat Patterson, a father-like figure to Johnson, suggested him the name, &#8216;The Rock&#8217;. It instantly clicked with him and has stayed with him forever since. WWE was going through a change during that point, and his gimmick, paired alongside another rising star, Stone Cold Steve Austin, took the company to new heights and also gave rise to a new rivalry. Soon, The Rock started focusing on acting and left WWE permanently. His busy schedule came in the way of his wrestling career. It is not known how much he earned during his prime in the company. During his stint in WWE from 2011-2013, Dwayne Johnson took home $5 million on an annual basis. However, he is no longer signed to the company but can make sporadic appearances at big events.
