Cody Rhodes Really Turned His Career Around When He Left WWE In 2016 And Reinvented Himself To Become A Megastar The American Nightmare Is Epic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@babyfaceaviator7862]

It also helped that he bulked up a little he was way too skinny around that time.

Whenever Cody turns heel its going to be epic. His better work in the ring and on the mic was after he left WWE.

[@isaiahedmonson5832]

I had the hell in a cell PPV from 2011 on dvd and remember when cody unveiled the classic ic belt he had a fun little match john Morrison that night good times 😁

[@RR-my9uz]

This is why people love him. He knew his worth and dared to leave the company which is considered a career Suicide but he pushed through and made it to the other side, becoming American Nightmare Cody Rhodes!

[@mayethgarcia4441]

Cody's better as a heel not a face.

No he is good being both

Masked Cody Rhodes made me think of Rip Hamilton on Detroit Pistons

[@babyfaceaviator7862]

Dashinf and Undashing Cody Rhodes were still better gimmicks than Stardust

[@s4xtt]

They should have capitalized this and push him heavily as a major heel

[@atulrcks]

I want a ple where the main event is the intercontinental championship or us championship or the tag titles . The story has to be soo good that wwe has to put these titles on the show and main event

[@jollyindividual3042]

Damn Cody is my favourite I don't know why he wears suits

[@bokazhimo6032]

Cody would have become bigger with stardust gimmick

[@OfficialChiranjivi]

He was a mid carder and will be.

Undashing homelander would cook for cody's revenge on the bloodline once the rock or roman took his title

[@gochapachi7056]

And now he's again getting ruined

[@martinbabich1920]

I think you missed 2 money in the bank ladder matches

[@baffourappiah3853]

I love Cody. But let's be honest, his stock has reduced post mania. Dude was at one point earlier this year arguably the hottest name on the planet, and now even in his hometown, he's being so overshadowed by Roman. Yes its Roman and all his star power, but the way WWE booked Cody post mania was an L. They have him freely handing out title matches, feuding with less credible heels while the bulk of the main event stars are on Raw, and they constantly keep plucking him in the bloodline story where he's obviously not the main character. Cody himself is available, consistent, always tries to make good memories with fans, puts up great matches (even with a predictable result), still tops merch, still highly profitable, perfect company rep, So they truly need to invest heavily in his booking. With Roman, its what's best for Roman is best for WWE, they always have him come out, wreck everyone and leave looking like a million bucks, and Cody is the one always getting his ass kicked and needing help. Even in his hometown, in a PLE that he spent months promoting, they can't afford him the courtesy of coming out last despite being Undisputed champ, then they ruin his entrance too. KO turns on him later, WWE doesn't even show it on any of their socials and they have him show up the next Raw all smiley and not even talk about it.. just overexposing him on a show he's not supposed to be on or wasn't advertised for, for a picture with Gunther which could have been taken in subsequent weeks. WWE treats Roman like this special attraction and just overexpose and weaken Cody every time. Its his very first reign so hopefully they get better and start treating him like the superhero the American Nightmare was initially presented as, not some weak champ always needing help.

[@Lee-lee-w1r]

You’re right

[@theonlygoodonehere2259]

this comment funny asf, if wwe treats cody like roman, the roster would be buried, its better off having roman wreck everyon and leave, which btw he hasn't been doing at all, its been the opposite, which proves you don't do your homework, roman did it when he was heel, and when he is face guy he is a tweener guy, cody wants to be like cena, and this is cena type stuff, if he were to beat guys down as well, while giving him clean wins, thats a literal burial, did you forget in codys run he has to establish the other guys? supercena didn't, and left us with forced pushed guys, you want another supercena run, but worse? cody is not like stone cold or goldberg, he is not as bulky or have the personality, to beat guys down, dropa finisher on them leave, and have a match ad win clean in that too, that doesn't work in this era

Cody still a mid card at best.
