<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania</h2>
One of WWE’s Big Five, WrestleMania is arguably the largest pro wrestling event in the world. Its first iteration featured the likes of Andre the Giant, Mr T, and Hulk Hogan, and a total attendance of just shy of 20,000 people. With WWE increasing the stakes each year, its latest iteration, WrestleMania XL, is set to feature over 25 of the promotion’s biggest wrestlers, including Dwayne Johnson, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Rhea Ripley.
<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania Origins</h2>
WrestleMania was conceptualized as a rival to NWA’s Starrcade, which began in 1983 and was initially organized by Jim Crockett Promotions. The two promotions were in a fierce battle to come out on top in the 80s, with NWA’s popularity waning as the then-WWF expanded nationwide, with a hope to go global. Former WWE head honcho Vince McMahon was credited with creating the concept of WrestleMania. The PPV’s name originated from WWF’s lead ring announcer Howard Finkel, as a play on the Beatlemania of the 60s.

As WWF’s inaugural PPV, the first-ever WrestleMania took place in 1985 at Madison Square Garden. Though WrestleMania 1 didn’t manage to outshine the 1985 edition of Starrcade, which had a combined attendance of 30,000 people, it still managed to beat Starrcade’s debut attendance of 15,000, with over 19,000 people attending WrestleMania 1 in person, setting the stage for a PPV that would go on to become a household name.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Evolution of WrestleMania</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania I-IV: The Foundation</b></h3>
Even with its debut, WrestleMania’s core tenet was “go big or go home”. WWF went all out, with a match card featuring wrestling greats like The Iron Sheikh, Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ricky Steamboat, David and Bruno Sammartino, and The Fabulous Moolah. In keeping with what would later become tradition, the flagship marquee event also featured several big names from the era, including boxing legend Muhammed Ali, pianist Liberace, pop sensation Cyndi Lauper, and New York Yankees manager Billy Martin.

The all-round success of WrestleMania 1 saw WWF overtake NWA and AWA (American Wrestling Association). The event was critical to the '80s wrestling boom, which saw a sharp increase in the demand for professional wrestling.

Shortly after, WrestleMania II took the show to another level, simultaneously taking place in three different venues across the country - New York, Chicago, and California. While initially received poorly, as the logistics of organizing a major wrestling event across three venues overtook the promotion, it set the stage yet again for WWF one-upping itself with each edition.

In comparison, WrestleMania III managed to outshine its previous iterations, having broken the record for the largest recorded attendance at an indoor live event in North America with a purported attendance of over 93,000 people, only broken by WrestleMania 32 in 2016. It was also iconic for its matches, with Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant going down in history as two of the greatest matches in pro wrestling history. While not as iconic as its predecessor, WrestleMania IV featured the first appearance of Donald Trump at a Mania, marking the start of the relationship between the promotion and the Trump Organization.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania V-X: The Golden Era</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Golden Era was truly something to behold. The promotion’s fame had skyrocketed, effectively cementing itself as a stalwart player in the pro wrestling industry. With the success of WrestleMania came the introduction of pay-per-views like SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series, meaning that the Golden Era had more to offer throughout the year.

However, WrestleMania’s popularity never waned with the addition of the new PPVs, as it continued to remain the biggest wrestling event in the country. WrestleMania saw some of the most legendary moments in WWE history in the early ‘90s. Major feuds between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, and Shawn Michaels, aka Mr. WrestleMania, and Razor Ramon managed to outsell competitors in popularity.

The Golden Era of WWE served as a platform to cement the legacies of several WWE legends who have remained a household name till today, including Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Ultimate Warrior. WrestleMania VII also saw the beginning of The Undertaker’s Mania streak that would continue well into the 2010s.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XI-XX: Attitude Era Impact</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Attitude Era saw the culmination of several iconic storylines coming to a head at the Grandest Stage of Them All. The PPV reached its peak during this period, with ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin beating Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XIV for the WWF Championship title, marking the first of six title reigns.

This also marked the beginning of the legendary rivalry between Austin and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, the epitome of the Attitude Era. WrestleMania XV saw the first fight between the two pro wrestling stalwarts, where Stone Cold beat The Rock during the main event to win back the WWF Championship belt.

The beginning of the new Millennium also saw the introduction of the first-ever Triangle Ladder match, with the iconic tag teams The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, and Edge and Christian going against each other for the WWF Tag Team Championship. This era also saw the first-ever WrestleMania under the WWE at WrestleMania XIX, which also marked the end of Steve Austin’s feud with The Rock.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XXI-XXX: New Millennium Milestones</b></h3>
In keeping up with becoming bigger and better, WWE introduced the concept of the Money In The Back ladder match at WrestleMania 21, which would become a main fixture in the PLE. This period of WrestleMania managed to rival the Attitude Era, giving us iconic matches with The Undertaker vs Batista at WrestleMania 23 and Ric Flair’s retirement match against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXIV.

WrestleMania XXX in particular was something to behold, as The Undertaker’s unbroken 22-year streak was finally broken by Brock Lesnar, rendering the WWE universe in awe. Other moments also include Daniel Bryan’s rise to the top after an initial win against Triple H and a win against Randy Orton and Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania during the 2010s</b></h3>
The latter half of the 2010s saw increased interest in WrestleMania as WrestleMania 32 broke the attendance record previously set by WrestleMania III, with an attendance of over 101,000 people. With WWE itself moving towards organizing events in international venues, this expanded the reach WrestleMania had with fans outside of the States. WrestleMania 35 was the first since 2000 to not feature The Undertaker, but more importantly, was also the first WrestleMania to feature a woman’s main event, with a triple threat match between Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey.
<h3 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania in the 2020s</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 36</b></h4>
WrestleMania 36 was a plethora of WrestleMania firsts, with the first-ever edition of the PLE to be held across two nights and the first to not have a live audience due to pandemic restrictions. Considering restrictions, the 2020 iteration of Mania was widely regarded a success, especially in the backdrop of no live audiences, as well as several last-minute changes to the roster to account for potential health risks. This was also heightened by WWE deciding to play with its format, with a Firefly Fun House match with Bray Wyatt taking down John Cena.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 37</b></h4>
While WrestleMania 36 was an example of WWE making do, WrestleMania 37 saw the promotion come back bigger and better. The 37th iteration of The Show of Shows took place in Tampa, Florida, where the reduction in COVID-19 protocols meant more freedom for WrestleMania to have a live audience, albeit limited capacity and with restrictions to the audience.

This also marked the first WWE event to be livestreamed solely on Peacock, a product of the WWE Network’s earlier merger with Peacock in March of that year.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 38</b></h4>
WrestleMania 38 marked the year when WWE returned the Showcase of the Immortals to its full capacity, with over 131,000 people attending over the course of two days. This also led to the evolution of WrestleMania Weekend, with WWE kickstarting the PLE with a special edition of Friday Night SmackDown featuring an Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The PLE also saw the surprise return of Cody Rhodes, as he took on Seth Rollins on Night 1, as well as Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar headlining the event on Night 2.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 39</b></h4>
In its most recent iteration, WrestleMania continues to prove its worth as the biggest pro wrestling event in history, with Mania 39 grossing $21.6 million in ticket sales alone. The PLE saw the appearance of several modern WWE greats including John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Rey Mysterio, Charlotte Flair, Edge, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes.
<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania XL Event Details</h2>
<b>Event Name Change:</b> WrestleMania Axxess has been rebranded as WWE World at WrestleMania.

<b>Venue:</b> This year's Mania will be hosted at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in partnership with Fanatics Events.

<h2>AJ Styles 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
There are very few who can say that they are more accomplished than AJ Styles in the field of professional wrestling. ?The Phenomenal One? had seen and done it all even before <span style="font-weight: 400">joining Vince McMahon?s promotion, WWE</span><span style="font-weight: 400">.?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d1/88/c6/d188c6f59d23c6b24e60e99b8a147174.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

With an array of skills, talents, and experience beyond his years, AJ Styles is inarguably one of WWE?s biggest assets. His performances have been lauded by WWE legends including The Undertaker himself.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Before finally making it to WWE, Styles had a long career as a professional wrestler through various promotions. Everyone already knew who AJ Styles was.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/20/a9/63/20a9632eee57a35967eb541b449fdb4b.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />
<h2>History<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h2>
<h3>Early Career<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h3>
At the young age of 21, Styles entered the world of professional wrestling. He wrestled for NWA-based promotions and less notable promotions with a masked gimmick.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/wwe_16_9_s/public/video/thumb/2016/01/AJstyles_inferno_012716.png" alt="" width="640" height="360" data-noaft="1" />

However, natural talent saw Styles rise up the pecking order. His performances soon caught the eye of WCW, and the company even offered him a contract.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Styles appeared on one episode of Nitro, where he lost a tag team match in an ongoing tournament. He later appeared for a WWF tryout but was not offered a contract despite winning his match.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wrestleview.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/aj-styles-in-nwa-wildside.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="394" data-noaft="1" />

He was once more offered a choice to continue in WWF but had to relocate to a development territory in another state.

Due to the interference with his wife?s college schedule, Styles turned down the offer and continued wrestling on the independent scene.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>ROH<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h3>
Styles got a foothold in ROH by quickly rising to the top of approval ratings. He was used as the main card performer and had several championship shots.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.imgur.com/fzzlJr3.jpg" alt="" width="564" height="376" data-noaft="1" />

Styles competed across various formats, engaging in major singles feuds as well as Tag Team ones. Attracting a lot of eyeballs to the nascent promotion, Styles had a major showdown with a young CM Punk.

He managed to beat Punk twice, with the second match involving Ricky Steamboat as Guest Referee.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/aj-styles-cm-punk-8.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="500" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>TNA<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h3>
AJ Styles took his popularity to another level at TNA where he made ripples into waves. Quickly making his presence felt, Styles became the first X-Division Champion.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/aj-styles-x-division-champion-1931392-1280x720.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

Unlike other belts, it was the wrestler that made the belt known, and Styles elevated the status of the X Division Championship. He went on to conquer a series of belts during his time in TNA.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

?The Phenomenal One? found himself alongside WWE legends such as Kurt Angle, Booker T, Jeff Hardy, and Christian. He would also compete with future stars such as Samoa Joe.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wrestlerant.com/uploads/5/7/3/2/5732092/9217654_orig.jpg?342" alt="" width="750" height="500" data-noaft="1" />

While the former WWE stars like Jeff Hardy often took the driver's seat, Styles proved his mettle time and again by giving them wrestling of the highest quality.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

He even had a memorable Tag Team run with Kurt Angle and was widely praised for his work then. Styles was the face of TNA at one point and became the dominant Champion during all his reigns.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ajstyles-1280x720.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

While Styles had a lot of forgettable moments like being the protege of Ric Flair, he was a star and a living legend in TNA. His work with former WWE Superstars got him a lot of attention from the fans and critics.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

AJ Styles had a number of appearances in Mexican and Japanese Wrestling promotions as part of TNA partnerships that further elevated his skills. The diversity of moves at his disposal increased.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/aj-styles-jeff-hardy-488-600x375.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="375" data-noaft="1" />

After nearly 12 years at TNA, Styles parted ways with the promotion. There were reports that negotiations had broken down early on. Styles later revealed that the new contract offer <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-they-wanted-me-to-take-less-money-aj-styles-reveals-why-he-parted-ways-with-tna/">involved</a>?reducing his salary by 60%.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>Return to ROH, NJPW, and Independent Scene</h3>
Styles briefly returned to ROH for two years and began competing regularly. He also competed in the Independent scene during this time and worked every chance he got.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://d2isjg8ovcm7q0.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/styles/roh_slider/public/aj1.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="691" data-noaft="1" />

Appearing across various promotions, Styles made it to Chikara, CZW, and Revolution Pro Wrestling. He took his services to England as well where he had a match against Lionheart.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Styles even went all the way to Japan to compete in the NJPW. There, he beat Tanahashi and Shinsuke Nakamura respectively to become a two-time IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CkcWNz8I58k/Vx0vqmL3yoI/AAAAAAAAAU4/1UT5iw4iG7o78Hdt3GKz6dM82ija8TUVQCLcB/s1600/AJ-Styles-IWGP.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" data-noaft="1" />

At this point, ?The Phenomenal One? had developed top-level skills and different wrestling styles. In fact, he was being recognized as the best professional wrestler in the world.

He was beyond his time in experience and finally caught the eye of WWE who immediately sought his services.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>WWE</h3>
AJ Styles finally found himself in the biggest scene at WWE. Styles made an epic <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubZR-cfkSDQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debut</a> at Royal Rumble in 2016 which earned him one of the biggest crowd pops in WWE history.

The debut was named the best of the decade by WWE.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/2019/02/ajstyles--1dc3279de967216d4f52838f36f379aa.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Styles went on to be a major PPV contender and ignited a feud against Chris Jericho himself as his first major storyline. Styles went on to make an explosive first appearance at WrestleMania, where he faced off against Jericho.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Styles then set his sights on the gold. After defeating John Cena twice in two dream matches, Styles went on to challenge Dean Ambrose (now Jon Moxley) for his WWE World Championship. After a 140 day-reign, Styles lost the title to Cena, ending their feud.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2020/07/ena-styles.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=960&amp;quality=100" alt="" width="960" height="540" data-noaft="1" />

?The New Face of WWE? then went on to have a memorable feud against Shane McMahon that went on to WrestleMania 33 and a successive feud with Kevin Owens in which Styles ended up winning the United States Championship.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>Year-long WWE Championship reign</h3>
<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/zpQSX8OEpdW9rX_qrDZgqqRN4yc=/0x0:1200x675/1200x800/filters:focal(751x247:943x439)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/58020967/180_COC_12172017ej_4966__c9809ba566b8290d943700769ca176b0.0.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" data-noaft="1" />

AJ Styles managed to win the WWE Championship once more by taking down Jinder Mahal. He then went on to the biggest challenge of his career in Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

?The Phenomenal One? gave fans the best showdown they had witnessed in recent years as he faced ?The Beast Incarnate? Brock Lesnar.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/00/4b/b8/004bb8a0f9571b51a9d938c0aa39a05b.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" data-noaft="1" />

Despite being the visible underdog in the match, Styles did his best damage and surprised a lot of fans. Unfortunately, the relentless force in Lesnar overpowered Styles. The loss was actually a win, as AJ Styles was now known far and wide for his talent.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

The Superstar went on to hold the WWE Championship for over a year. He lost the title against Daniel Bryan on an episode of SmackDown, ending his reign at a massive 371 days.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Styles.png" alt="" width="920" height="615" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>Feud with The Undertaker</h3>
Styles found himself at a new height when he ignited a feud against The Undertaker himself. ?The Deadman? neared the end of his career, and Styles in his heel role was becoming the talk of the WWE Universe.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OX1OFJhJGa8/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

The two had a long feud that was supposed to end at Clash of Champions but went on to WrestleMania! AJ Styles fought ?The Deadman? in the first-ever Cinematic match and made his mark in WWE history.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Later, The Undertaker announced his retirement from WWE. This meant that AJ Styles is the last man to ever face ?The Deadman?, a fitting end to a long and illustrious career. This is yet another badge on the brilliant run of Styles.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://fansided.com/files/2020/04/WM36_HM_28886.jpg" alt="" width="3871" height="2581" data-noaft="1" />

The Intercontinental Championship found Styles tussling with Sami Zayn and Jeff Hardy in a feud that would end up in Zayn?s favor. Styles was then drafted to Raw, the brand on which he performs today.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<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>Edge 2022 - Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
If there ever was a man who put extreme on the map, it would be ?The Rated-R Superstar ? Edge. This name rings long and hard in the minds of WWE fans that respect and love the legend dearly.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Edge is a star that always gives it his best in the ring. There is nothing that he cannot do and manages to stun everyone with his daredevil-like attitude in the ring.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://newyork.cbslocal.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/14578484/2020/01/Edge-3.jpg?w=1024" alt="" width="1024" height="615" data-iml="3893.0000000000005" />

Over the years, fans have grown accustomed to seeing him do the unthinkable in the ring. Edge is one of the most successful Superstars in WWE history and one of the best current wrestlers in the ring. His work in the ring is unparalleled and he is one of the few who carry on the torch of old-school wrestling.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h2>History<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h2>
<h3>Early career</h3>
Edge began his career wrestling in several independent promotions across Canada. As a college student, he trained in the school boxing ring which had a hard mat. He learned how to limit his damage during falls from here which helped him later on in his career.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fwQrJ1xNrGs/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-iml="23041" />

His skills were noticed by Bret Hart?s manager Carl De Marco, who recruited him under the WWE banner once he was president of WWF Canada. Edge worked in development territories and lived with a colleague until his career took off.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>WWE</h3>
After impressing superiors, Edge made his debut on Raw on the June 22, 1998 episode. He soon climbed top the pecking order and formed a vampiric faction with Gangrel and Christian called the Brood.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/photo/image/2012/06/Edge_Classic_005.jpg" alt="" width="686" height="384" data-iml="22683" />

The Brood would eventually work with The Undertaker during the Ministry of Darkness Era. Edge worked with Christian a lot since they were best friends. Their pairing goes back decades and they work very well together.

Edge broke out as a solo Superstar once he had received enough recognition. His work as a tag team had cemented his character in the eyes of fans and his time had come.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/edge-christian.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="579" data-iml="13472" />

After a couple of tries as a solo character, the crowd seemed to back him and he was given the green light. Over the next few years, edge spent his time in legendary feuds with The Undertaker, John Cena, and Randy Orton before heading towards multiple Championship reigns.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/wwe_16_9_s/public/2020/01/24_WM22_040220006rf_1545R--a87179a33ea7a9499c46c3e3ac30629c.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="360" data-iml="4284" />

?The Rated-R Superstar? won the World Heavyweight Championship a record 7 times and is widely recognized as the face of the title which does not exist in WWE today. He also held the WWE Championship and Tag team Championships multiple times with Randy Orton and Christian.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://fanbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2019/07/edge-wwe.png?w=1200&amp;h=627&amp;crop=1" alt="" width="1200" height="627" data-iml="18649" />

Edge competed in a number of legendary matches and was no stranger to hardcore. He fought against the best names in the business such as Mick Foley, The Hardy Boys, The Undertaker, Randy Orton, and John Cena, all of which were known to take things over the limit.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://media.bleacherreport.com/f_auto,w_800,h_533,q_auto,c_fill/br-img-slides/004/369/791/3edae1d34e679f6662bc29fcaa86cdca_crop_exact.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533" data-iml="32096.000000000004" />

After years of taking hits to his back, Edge finally pulled his last straw. In 2011, shortly after his victory at WrestleMania against Alberto Del Rio, ?The Rated-R Superstar? underwent a medical scan.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

He then received the news that he had spinal stenosis due to the hits he took throughout his career. He was also given the sad news that if he wrestled again, he risked paralysis or even death.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Colby Daniel Lopez, better known by his ring name Seth Rollins, is a professional wrestler currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Seth Rollins’ early life</b></h2>
Rollins was born on May 28, 1986, and has Holly Franklin and Ron Lopez as his mother and stepfather.

To showcase his love and respect towards Ron Lopez, Seth decided to adopt his surname and thus became Colby Daniel Lopez. The wrestler has a brother and sister named Brandon Lopez and Diandra Demi Lopez.

Meanwhile, it was in 2019 that Rollins decided to undergo DNA testing only to find out that he had another elder brother and sister. He took to Twitter to share his joy with his followers but the wrestler has kept the details of his long-lost siblings under wraps. Also, he has been a huge fan of rock music since his childhood and thus his ring name Seth Rollins pays tribute to the famous former Black Flag singer Henry Rollins. Speaking of the Davenport native's education, he graduated in 2004 from the Davenport West High School while his wrestling training took place in Illinois.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Seth Rollins' career timeline</b></h2>
Long before Rollins was running through WWE competition, he was a top star for Ring Of Honor, a small American wrestling promotion with a cult following. Alongside him were big names like Daniel Bryan, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/aj-styles/">AJ Styles</a>, and Roderick Strong. Back then, he was known as Tyler Black and had a 210-day reign with the World Championship.

Rollins made his WWE debut with its developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). After impressing with his immaculate wrestling skills and affable personality, WWE made him the inaugural NXT champion. The company saw him as their future. Hence, after he dropped his NXT title to Big E, he made his WWE main roster debut as a part of one of the most dominant groups in its history - The Shield. The group also comprised Dean Ambrose and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roman-reigns/">Roman Reigns</a>.

Their feud with the legendary WWE faction evolution pushed them to the stratosphere. However, soon after, Seth Rollins completed one of the biggest heel turns in WWE history when he betrayed his Shield brothers to join hands with The Authority led by <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/triple-h/">Triple H</a>. The resultant heel turn made Seth Rollins a superstar, and he soon became the WWE Champion. He had a feud with big names like <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena">John Cena</a>, Kane, and even a debuting Sting. After a knee injury that sidelined him for almost a year, Rollins returned to a big ovation.

He soon turned Babyface and became one of the biggest stars of the company. However, he turned heel after a dominant run. As 'The Monday Night Messiah', Rollins took on a sort of cult role, forming his divine partnership with Murphy. The two indulged in rituals and incurred the wrath of Rey Mysterio when they blinded him in one eye following a fight. With the help of his son Dominik, Rey Mysterio managed to topple Rollins and put down the Monday/Friday Night Messiah once and for all.

Rollins took a break from wrestling after this storyline to take care of his newborn daughter with his wife Becky Lynch. Since his return to the main roster, Rollins wasted no time in getting into the main event picture and almost won the Money in the Bank ladder match.

From time to time, Rollins has managed to keep himself fresh with the WWE Universe. In 2021, he entered into a legendary feud with the WWE Hall of Famer Edge, which ended in a brutal Hell in a Cell match at the Crown Jewel PPV in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. At Survivor Series, Rollins was a part of Team Raw for the traditional 5-on-5 elimination match where he was the sole survivor and helped attain victory for Raw.
