"Cody Rhodes, 'The American Nightmare', is one of the most prominent faces of WWE. Earning his moniker by finishing exactly what his legendary father started, his story is one of the most compelling comebacks in professional wrestling history."
Coming from the legendary Rhodes wrestling family, Cody had immense pressure to perform from a young age. He spent his early WWE years working through various personas like 'Dashing' Cody Rhodes and Stardust, eventually leading to his departure to redefine his career on the independent circuit.
When Rhodes dramatically returned to WWE at WrestleMania 38, he cemented himself as a main event player. His subsequent run focused on 'finishing the story' and winning the WWE Championship—the title that eluded his father, Dusty Rhodes.
