In recent memory, fans have viewed The Visionary as a face. However, his past is riddled with betrayals. The most infamous of his betrayals is from 2014 when he turned on his stablemates, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Before the three went their separate ways and Roman Reigns became the Undisputed Champion, they were the most dominant faction in wrestling history, The Shield.

Seth Rollins might not be fond of Cody Rhodes
After he returned to WWE at WrestleMania 38, the first WWE star Rhodes faced was Rollins. He was introduced as a surprise opponent and everyone including Rollins was shocked. However, in January 2023, Rollins opened up about how he felt about Cody Rhodes’ return. He said, “The only disrespect I had for Cody Rhodes was that he tried to come in and steal my spotlight. I shouldn’t say ‘tried to steal it.’ He tried to use my spotlight to catapult himself to where he wanted to go.”
