Bio

Cody Rhodes is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes, but his journey to the Undisputed WWE Championship has been defined by carving out his own identity. From his early days in WWE to his time away from the company, Cody transformed himself into a main-event star.

Early in his career, Cody competed in tag teams and mid-card divisions, learning the WWE system.

After leaving WWE, Cody competed around the world, proving he could succeed without the backing of a major company name. That run helped him sharpen his character, presence, and storytelling, setting the stage for a powerful return to WWE.
