Cody Rhodes is one of the most over superstars on the roster currently. He recently returned to WWE last year at WrestleMania 38 to a massive reception. Rhodes had left WWE in 2016 over creative disputes. However, his return last year was one of the major moments in his career.
Although, he would suffer a major momentum setback after suffering a pectoral injury. Rhodes would recover from that, return at Royal Rumble 2023 to win the event, and challenge Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, only to lose at The Grandest Stage.
