Cody Rhodes, a second-generation wrestler, was inspired to pursue the sport by his father, Dusty Rhodes. Although Dusty Rhodes is recognized as one of the top stars of all time, he was never the WWE Champion.

The Rhodes family has never had a WWE World Champion. Now that Cody Rhodes has one goal in mind—winning the WWE Championship—we could see him face Reigns when he makes a comeback.

During his initial tenure in the WWE, Cody Rhodes solidified his reputation as a notable wrestler by winning the intercontinental Championship twice. In addition, he twice claimed the World Tag Team Championship. Due to creative differences, Rhodes departed WWE in 2016. Before joining the AEW, he competed for the Independent Circuit, Ring of Honor, Impact Wrestling, and NJPW.
