Cody Garrett Runnels Rhodes[10][11] (né Runnels; born June 30, 1985) is an American professional wrestler and actor. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand.[12] Rhodes is also known for his time in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he served as an executive vice president and was the inaugural and record-tying three-time AEW TNT Champion.

Rhodes rose to prominence during his first tenure with WWE from 2006 to 2016, where he performed under his real name, as well as under the gimmick and ring name Stardust, an overly deep, dramatic, and sparkling spin-off gimmick of his half-brother's Goldust character. Rhodes has also wrestled for various other notable promotions, including Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), Ring of Honor (ROH), and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). Outside of wrestling, he served as a judge on the competition series Go-Big Show, and starred with his wife Brandi Rhodes on the reality show Rhodes to the Top.

Rhodes is the son of wrestler Dusty Rhodes and the half-brother of fellow wrestler Dustin Rhodes. After an amateur wrestling career that resulted in him becoming a two-time Georgia state champion, he followed his father and older brother's footsteps into the professional ranks and joined WWE in 2006, initially being assigned to the company's developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). After becoming a Triple Crown Champion in OVW, he was promoted to WWE's main roster in 2007 and remained there for nine years, performing under his real name and later under the gimmick of Stardust. During his time with WWE, Rhodes became a two-time Intercontinental Champion and was a prolific tag team wrestler, winning six world tag team championships (three World Tag Team Championships and three WWE Tag Team Championships) with four separate tag team partners.[1][13] Rhodes left WWE after requesting his release in May 2016.

Following his departure from WWE, Rhodes began wrestling on the independent circuit, also making several appearances in TNA; he wrestled under the shortened name Cody, due to WWE owning the Cody Rhodes name, until 2020 when WWE surrendered their trademark.[14] In the time frame spanning from early 2016 to early 2017, he competed at WWE's WrestleMania, ROH's Final Battle, and NJPW's Wrestle Kingdom events, as well as appearing for Impact Wrestling (formerly TNA) at Bound for Glory. In September 2017, Rhodes wrestled in ROH, where he became a one-time ROH World Champion. He would later become a one-time IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion and a one-time ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champion (with Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson). In September 2018, he won the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship (due to ROH's partnership with the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA)), with he and Dusty becoming the first father and son to win the title. All totaled between WWE, AEW, NWA, ROH, and NJPW, Rhodes has held 15 championships, including two world titles, and in early fall 2018, held the NWA Worlds, IWGP U.S., and ROH Six-Man titles simultaneously.[15]

In January 2019, Rhodes was unveiled as an executive vice president of the newly formed AEW, where he would also serve as a wrestler. After failing to negotiate a new contract, Rhodes relinquished his executive position and he and his wife departed AEW in February 2022. He returned to WWE at WrestleMania 38 that April, defeating Seth Rollins.

Early life

Rhodes was born Cody Garrett Runnels on Sunday, June 30, 1985, to the highly successful professional wrestler Virgil Runnels Jr., known professionally as Dusty Rhodes, and his second wife Michelle Rubio. In addition to half-brother Dustin, he has two half-sisters from his father's first marriage. When he was a teenager, he legally changed his name to Cody Garrett Runnels Rhodes.[10][11] Rhodes attended Lassiter High School and had a successful high school wrestling career.[1] He placed sixth in the 171 lb (78 kg) division as a sophomore.[16] As a junior, he won the Georgia state tournament at 189 lb (86 kg) in 2003 and repeated as champion his senior year.[16] He had planned to wrestle collegiately at Penn State University, but decided to become a professional wrestler instead.[17] During his time in high school, Rhodes also acted as a referee in his father's Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling promotion.[18] After graduating high school, Rhodes attended an acting school.[19]

Professional wrestling career

World Wrestling Entertainment/WWE (2006–2016)

Ohio Valley Wrestling (2006–2007)

Rhodes originally credits his father Dusty Rhodes for starting his wrestling training, when Cody was only 12 years old; this was limited mainly to simple fundamentals and taking bumps. From there his training was provided by Al Snow, Danny Davis, Randy Orton and Ricky Morton.[20] Using his birth name Cody Runnels, Rhodes began wrestling in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) in May 2006.[1] Runnels formed a tag team with Shawn Spears in mid-August 2006 and won the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship twice.[1][21] He also won the OVW Heavyweight Championship[1][22] and the OVW Television Championship.[1][23]

Teaming with Hardcore Holly (2007–2008)

Rhodes captured his first championship in WWE in December 2007: the World Tag Team Championship, with partner Hardcore Holly

On the July 2, 2007 episode of Raw, Runnels made his television debut, using his family's wrestling last name, Rhodes, in a backstage segment with his father Dusty Rhodes and Randy Orton, where Orton introduced himself to Rhodes and then slapped Dusty as a sign of disrespect.[24] Cody Rhodes made his main roster in-ring debut losing to Randy Orton via pinfall on the July 16, 2007 episode of Raw.[25] Rhodes appeared at The Great American Bash to prevent Orton from further attacking his father.[26] The next night on Raw, Rhodes challenged Orton to a rematch from the previous week, only to lose again. Orton followed this up by kicking Rhodes' father in the head.[27]

On September, he began a feud with Hardcore Holly and lost three consecutive matches to him.[28][29][30] Later, they would work as a tag team and they defeated Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch on the Raw 15th Anniversary special episode for the World Tag Team Championship, marking Rhodes' first championship in WWE.[31][32]

In May 2008, Ted DiBiase began feuding with the duo, threatening to take their titles in his first match as part of the Raw brand.[33] At the pay-per-view event, Night of Champions on June 29, Rhodes turned on Holly by revealing himself as Ted DiBiase's partner to help DiBiase win the match and also become a two-time World Tag Team Champion. turning heel in the process [34][35]

The Legacy (2008–2010)

After holding the championship for just over a month, they dropped it to John Cena and Batista on the August 4, 2008 episode of Raw, but regained it the next week.[36][37][38] Rhodes and DiBiase were then joined by Manu, the son of Afa, in September, forming a stable of multi-generational wrestlers.[39] On the October 27 Raw, Rhodes and DiBiase lost the World Tag Team Championship to Kofi Kingston and CM Punk.[40]

On November they began a storyline with Orton and, at Survivor Series, Rhodes, along with Orton, was a survivor, for Orton's team, in the annual Elimination match.[41] The three of them created a stable with Orton called The Legacy.[42][43]

As part of the Legacy, Rhodes entered the Royal Rumble match in order to help Orton win, and lasted until the final three, before being eliminated by Triple H.[44] Rhodes and DiBiase became involved in Orton's scripted rivalry with the McMahon family, helping him to attack Shane and Stephanie McMahon, and Stephanie's real-life husband, Triple H.[45][46] Rhodes was elevated to main event status as a result of joining the Legacy, competing in handicap and six-man tag team matches against Orton's opponents and rivals.[47][48]

On April 26 at Backlash, Rhodes, DiBiase, and Orton defeated Triple H, Batista, and Shane McMahon in a six-man tag team match, which, per the pre-match stipulation, resulted in Orton winning the WWE Championship.[49] Rhodes suffered a minor neck injury in June, but continued working.[50]

Throughout mid-2009, Rhodes and DiBiase continued to compete against and attack Orton's rivals, especially Triple H.[51] This led to Triple H reforming D-Generation X (DX) with Shawn Michaels, and DX defeated Rhodes and DiBiase at SummerSlam.[52] Rhodes and DiBiase defeated DX at the following pay-per-view, Breaking Point in a submissions count anywhere match, but were defeated in a Hell in a Cell match at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view in October, when Rhodes was pinned following a sledgehammer shot to the head.[53][54] Rhodes represented Team Raw at the first Bragging Rights pay-per-view in October, reluctantly teaming with DX. The match would go on to be won by Team SmackDown. At Survivor Series, having aided Orton in his feud with Kofi Kingston, was part of Team Orton (against Team Kingston) alongside DiBiase. Kingston would lastly eliminate Orton in the match to be sole survivor.

Tension within The Legacy became apparent at the 2010 Royal Rumble, when Rhodes attempted to interfere in Orton's match for the WWE Championship. Rhodes was caught by the referee, resulting in a disqualification for Orton, who attacked Rhodes and DiBiase, who had tried to help Rhodes, after the match.[55] On the February 15 Raw, Orton took on Sheamus in a non-title rematch, but was again disqualified after Rhodes and DiBiase interfered.[56] During the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match pay-per-view, Rhodes interfered, passing a lead pipe through the cage to DiBiase. DiBiase hit Orton with the pipe and eliminated him from the match.[57] The next night on Raw, Orton attacked Rhodes and DiBiase during a six-man tag team match, and they attacked Orton the following week in retaliation.[58][59] This led to a triple threat match at WrestleMania XXVI, in which Orton defeated Rhodes and DiBiase.[60]

Dashing and Undashing (2010–2011)

"Dashing" Rhodes in 2010

As part of the 2010 WWE supplemental draft, Rhodes was drafted to the SmackDown brand.[61] He made his debut for the brand on the April 30 SmackDown, by defeating John Morrison.[62] The following week on SmackDown, Rhodes participated in a tournament for the vacant WWE Intercontinental Championship, but lost to Christian in the semi-finals.[63] Rhodes mentored Husky Harris, a third-generation wrestler, in the second season of NXT.[64][65] Rhodes would participate in the Money in the Bank ladder match at the first ever Money in the Bank pay-per-view event but was unsuccessful as the match was won by Kane.

On the June 25 SmackDown, Rhodes began a new narcissistic gimmick, claiming to be the best-looking wrestler in WWE and demanding to be called "Dashing" Cody Rhodes.[66] As part of the gimmick, vignettes began airing in which Rhodes gave "grooming tips".[67][68] He was extremely protective of his face during matches; if he was hit in the face, he threw a fit and checked his mirror.[69][70] In September, he attacked Christian along with Drew McIntyre after a match, and the duo also attacked Matt Hardy, forming an alliance. At Night of Champions in September, Rhodes and McIntyre captured the WWE Tag Team Championship in a Tag Team Turmoil match.[71] At Bragging Rights, Rhodes and McIntyre lost the championship to The Nexus (John Cena and David Otunga).[72] On the October 29 SmackDown, after losing a tag team match, Rhodes and McIntyre dissolved their partnership.[73]

On January 21, 2011, Rhodes faced Rey Mysterio in a match, during which Mysterio hit Rhodes in the face with his exposed knee brace and legitimately broke Rhodes' nose,[74][75] which led to Rhodes declaring he was no longer dashing and had required facial reconstructive surgery.[76] Rhodes was off television for several weeks. Upon his return, he wore a clear protective mask over his face and colluded with his father to attack Mysterio and remove Mysterio's mask on the February 25 SmackDown.[77] Rhodes then regularly used his protective mask as a weapon during matches by headbutting opponents and using it to hit his opponents.[78][79][80] In 2020, Rhodes said his time as Undashing Cody Rhodes was his second best work as a pro wrestler.[81] Rhodes defeated Mysterio in a match at WrestleMania XXVII on April 3.[82] The duo also faced off in a Falls Count Anywhere match at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view in May, which was won by Mysterio.[83]

On subsequent episodes of SmackDown following WrestleMania XXVII, Rhodes, with the help of assistants, would hand out paper bags to the audience during his promos. Rhodes demanded the audience to put on the paper bags on their heads to cover their ugliness and imperfections, because they offended him.[84] Rhodes also put paper bags over several of his opponents' heads after matches with them.[85][86] Rhodes reformed his alliance with Ted DiBiase on the May 20 SmackDown, and the duo went on to feud with Sin Cara and Daniel Bryan.[87][88][89] At the second annual Money in the Bank pay-per-view, Rhodes participated in the Money in the Bank ladder match, but was unsuccessful as Bryan won the match.[90]

Intercontinental Champion (2011–2012)

At the August 9 tapings of the August 12 SmackDown, Rhodes defeated Ezekiel Jackson to win the Intercontinental Championship, his first singles title with the company.[91][92] The following week, Rhodes and DiBiase had a verbal confrontation with Orton. The following week, Rhodes attacked DiBiase after the latter lost a singles match to Orton, ending their alliance and resulting in an Intercontinental Championship match between the two at Night of Champions, which Rhodes won.[93][94] Simultaneously, Rhodes had begun a feud with Orton, with Orton defeating Rhodes on the September 9 SmackDown,[95] but Rhodes defeated Orton on the September 12 Raw when Mark Henry distracted Orton.[96] On the September 23 SmackDown, Rhodes defeated Orton by disqualification when Orton took Rhodes' mask off and hit him with it.[97] Post-match, Orton attacked Rhodes with the timekeeper's bell, legitimately cutting Rhodes and causing him to bleed.[98] The following week on SmackDown, Rhodes claimed he needed nine staples to close the wound.[99]

Rhodes as the Intercontinental Champion in January 2012

At the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view on October 2, Rhodes debuted a new design for the Intercontinental Championship, which included a white strap and plates similar to the title's classic 1980s design, before successfully defending it against John Morrison.[100] Throughout October, Rhodes continued feuding with Orton, explaining that Orton had mistreated him during their time together as part of Legacy, costing him the World Heavyweight Championship and attacking him.[101][102] At Vengeance, Rhodes was defeated by Orton in a non-title match.[103] On the November 4 SmackDown, Orton defeated Rhodes in a Street Fight to end the feud; in the process, Orton broke Rhodes' mask.[104] On the November 14 Raw, Rhodes reappeared without his mask, claiming that Orton had set him free, signalling the end of his masked gimmick.[105] At Survivor Series, Rhodes was sole survivor alongside Team Captain Wade Barrett in their traditional Survivor Series match against Team Orton.

Rhodes then feuded with SmackDown commentator Booker T, attacking him from behind on several occasions and successfully retaining the Intercontinental Championship against him at Tables, Ladders & Chairs and on the January 6, 2012 SmackDown.[106][107] In the 2012 Royal Rumble match, Rhodes lasted over 40 minutes and eliminated more wrestlers than other any other competitor with six, before he was eliminated by Big Show.[108][109] At Elimination Chamber Rhodes pinned Big Show in the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match, before being eliminated by Santino Marella.[110][111] Rhodes spent the following weeks highlighting Big Show's embarrassing moments in previous WrestleManias, often costing Big Show to lose matches in the process.[112] At WrestleMania XXVIII, Rhodes lost the Intercontinental Championship to Big Show, ending his near eight-month reign of 233 days.[113]

Following the loss at WrestleMania, Rhodes went on a brief losing streak, due to Big Show distracting him during matches.[114] Four weeks after losing the title, Rhodes regained it at Extreme Rules by defeating Big Show in a Tables match.[115] On the May 7 episode of Raw, Rhodes retained his title against Big Show in a rematch after getting himself counted out.[116] Two weeks later at Over the Limit, Rhodes lost the Intercontinental Championship to the returning Christian. He would go on to lose to Christian in a rematch for the title at No Way Out.[117] On the June 29 SmackDown, Rhodes and David Otunga were defeated by Christian and United States Champion Santino Marella in a Money in the Bank qualification match for the World Heavyweight Championship, due to Otunga being pinned.[118] Afterwards, Rhodes claimed that he had not lost and demanded another chance.[118] Four days later on Super SmackDown Live, the WWE Board of Directors granted Rhodes another shot and he defeated Christian to earn a spot in the match.[119] At Money in the Bank, he was unsuccessful as the match was won by Dolph Ziggler.[120] On September 16 at Night of Champions, Rhodes failed to capture the Intercontinental Championship from The Miz in a fatal-four-way match, also involving Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara.[121]

Team Rhodes Scholars (2012–2013)

Rhodes then aligned himself with Damien Sandow, attacking Tag Team Champions Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan and Kane) on the September 24 Raw.[122] The team, now known as "Rhodes Scholars", won a Tag Team Championship tournament to become the number one contenders to the Tag Team Championship, but they were defeated by the champions twice.[123][124][125] Rhodes suffered a concussion and a strained shoulder, resulting in him being removed from his traditional five-on-five tag team match at Survivor Series.[126]

After he returned from injury, sporting a mustache, and he and Sandow worked as tag team, facing the champions Team Hell No twice: one at Main Event[127] and another at the Royal Rumble. They also joined by The Bella Twins as they began feuding with Tons of Funk (Brodus Clay and Tensai) and The Funkadactyls (Cameron and Naomi).[128][129][130] The two teams were originally booked to face each other in an eight-person mixed tag team match on April 7 at WrestleMania 29,[131] but their match was cut due to time constraints.[132] The match instead took place the following night on Raw, where Tons of Funk and The Funkadactyls emerged victorious.[133]

On July 14 at Money in the Bank pay-per-view, Rhodes competed in the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank ladder match, which was won by Damien Sandow after Sandow turned on Rhodes and threw him off of the ladder just as Rhodes was about to win the match.[134] The following night on Raw, Rhodes attacked Sandow and dissolved Team Rhodes Scholars, turning face for the first time since 2008.[135] They feuded over the briefcase, which Rhodes threw it into the Gulf of Mexico.[136] On August 18 at SummerSlam, now no longer sporting a mustache, Rhodes defeated Sandow in a singles match,[137] and did so again the following night on Raw.[138]

The Brotherhood (2013–2014)

Main article: Cody Rhodes and Goldust

Since September 2013, Rhodes started an storyline with his brother against Triple H. After Rhodes was defeated by Orton, he was fired in storyline.[139] This was put in place to give Rhodes time off for his marriage and honeymoon to Brandi Reed. Over the next few weeks, Rhodes' brother Goldust also lost to Orton with Cody's reinstatement on the line, while his father Dusty Rhodes was knocked out by Big Show while pleading for his sons to get their jobs back.[140][141] In return, the vengeful Rhodes brothers gatecrashed Raw by attacking The Shield.[142]

In 2013, Goldust returned to WWE, teaming with his half-brother Cody.

On October 6 at Battleground, Rhodes and Goldust defeated the WWE Tag Team Champions, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in a non-title match with the stipulation that they would be resigned again.[143] The Rhodes brothers then retain the titles for month, including the former champions The Shield,[144] until they lost them at the Royal Rumble to The New Age Outlaws.

Stardust, creative frustration and departure (2014–2016)

On the June 16 Raw, Rhodes debuted a new character called Stardust (a ring name also previously used by his father during his time in American Wrestling Association), with face paint, a bodysuit and mannerisms similar to those of Goldust. He teamed with his brother to defeat RybAxel that night and then at both Money in the Bank and on Raw.[145] On the August 18 Raw, Stardust and Goldust defeated the WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos in a non-title match.[146] This led to a rematch on the August 25 Raw, where Stardust and Goldust defeated The Usos via countout, but did not win the titles. After the match, both Stardust and Goldust attacked The Usos. At Night of Champions, Stardust and Goldust defeated the Usos to become WWE Tag Team Champions for their second reign as a team.[147] At Hell in a Cell, they successfully retained against The Usos. They lost the title to Damien Mizdow and The Miz in a fatal four-way tag team match also involving The Usos and Los Matadores the next month at Survivor Series, while also losing a rematch the next night on Raw. At TLC they lost to the newly formed team The New Day.

On February, the team disbanded after Cody executed Cross Rhodes on Goldust.[148] This led to a match between Goldust and Stardust at Fastlane, which Goldust won. The brothers tried to have a match at WrestleMania, but the WWE Chairman Vince McMahon didn't book the match, since he felt the match wasn't good enough for WrestleMania.[149]

In mid-2014, Rhodes was repackaged as the face-paint wearing "Stardust".

The Stardust character eventually evolved to resemble a comic book supervillain, which led to him entering a storyline rivalry with actor Stephen Amell,[150] renaming his finishing maneuver The Queen's Crossbow, after Oliver Queen, Amell's character from Arrow.[150] At SummerSlam, he and Barrett were defeated in a tag team match by Amell and Neville.[151] Then, he began to work with The Ascension, forming the faction "The Cosmic Wasteland". At Night of Champions, they defeated Neville and The Lucha Dragons in a six-man tag team match in the pre-show.

From September until May, he worked on television and PPV in minor storylines and loses.[152] At WrestleMania 32, Stardust competed in a seven-man ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship, which was won by Zack Ryder.[153][154][155][156] On May 21, 2016, Rhodes revealed on Twitter that he had requested his release from WWE,[157] which was officially granted the following day.[158] Rhodes cited frustrations with WWE's creative department and his position within the company as the reasons for requesting his release, noting that he had "pleaded" with writers to end the Stardust gimmick for over six months and pitched numerous storyline ideas which had been ignored.[159][160][161][162] Reflecting on Rhodes' WWE career, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer wrote that following his run with Legacy, Rhodes was "used as more of a lower and mid-card wrestler in a number of changing roles", adding that "his career had gone nowhere and he hadn't been used well".[163] James Caldwell of Pro Wrestling Torch wrote that Rhodes "had been floundering as the Stardust character over the past year or so, mostly landing on Superstars or Main Event".[161][164] Jason Powell of Pro Wrestling Dot Net commented that Rhodes choosing to leave was "surprising in the sense that Cody and his family have worked for WWE for so long".[165] Meanwhile, Dave Scherer of Pro Wrestling Insider wrote: "I can't say I blame him a bit. Not even a little bit. WWE never gave him a real chance, and that's just sad to me".[166] In September 2019, Rhodes revealed WWE Executive Vice President Triple H's reaction to his WWE departure, where Rhodes stated:

Hunter [Triple H] took it very personally because he had done so much for my dad at NXT. There was one conversation where he said, "I'm shocked that you feel this way after everything I've done for your family." But I told him, "I'm not my dad. I can't stay here out of loyalty to you for giving my dad a job in 2005. I get it, and the little boy in me really appreciates what you did for my dad. But I'm not him. He's not here anymore. I've got to be me." I think Hunter, he's been in wrestling long enough that he knew, "Oh, this is a real one. He's not asking for more money. He's not asking for a title shot. Nothing would matter at this point." I let the burn get too bad before I said anything, if that makes any sense.[167]

Despite that, Rhodes consistently spoke highly of WWE following his departure, adding that there were no grudges between him and the company and that any decisions the company makes regarding him are largely business-based.[168] This included WWE redesigning the Intercontinental Championship belt (whose 2011–2019 design was introduced in storyline by Rhodes) in 2019 around the same time AEW launched being a coincidence as opposed to trying to separate themselves from Rhodes, as Rhodes himself acknowledged that the physical belt was due for a redesign anyway.[169]

Independent circuit (2016–2018)

After he left WWE, Rhodes continued working under his real name on the independent circuit, but often dropped his last name in order to avoid conflict with WWE.[10] Rhodes' first post-WWE match was for Evolve in Joppa, Maryland on August 19 at Evolve 66, defeating Zack Sabre Jr. by submission.[170][171] After the match, Rhodes called out Drew Galloway.[171] The following day, he lost to Chris Hero.[172]

In May 2017, Dave Meltzer suggested that an independent wrestling show would be unable to sell out a ten thousand seat arena in the United States. Rhodes, along with The Young Bucks, challenged the idea by planning a show specifically for the purposes of drawing ten thousand fans.[189] In May 2018, it was announced that the show would be named All In.[190] On May 13, 2018, tickets to "All In" sold out in 30 minutes.[191] At the event on September 1, Cody defeated Nick Aldis to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.[192] Cody lost the championship back to Aldis in a two-out-of-three falls match at the NWA 70th Anniversary Show on October 21.[193]

Formation of AEW and early storylines (2018–2020)

See also: All Elite Wrestling

In November 2018, several trademarks were filed in Jacksonville, Florida that indicated the launch of a new wrestling promotion.[223][224][225] On January 1, 2019, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) was unveiled during a conference in Jacksonville, with Cody revealing that he, along with Matt and Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, would serve as Executive Vice Presidents, as well as on-air talent. Both Cody and The Young Bucks signed five-year contracts with the promotion.[226] At their inaugural event on May 25, Double or Nothing, Cody defeated Dustin Rhodes in an acclaimed match; it would later win "Match of the Year" from Pro Wrestling Illustrated.[227][228] On June 29 at Fyter Fest, Cody wrestled Darby Allin to a time limit draw. After the match, Rhodes was attacked by Shawn Spears and struck with a chair shot that caused Rhodes to bleed heavily from the back of his head.[229] While Rhodes did not suffer a concussion, he did require 12 surgical staples.[230] Spears' actions would be condemned by MJF, Cody's self-proclaimed best friend.[231] MJF would later become Cody's cornerman for his matches.

At All Out on August 31, Cody emerged victorious over Spears.[232] With this win, Cody improved his win–loss–draw record in singles matches to 2–0–1, granting him a match for the AEW World Championship against Chris Jericho at the Full Gear pay-per-view.[233] On the premiere episode of Dynamite on October 2, Cody and The Young Bucks were beaten down by Jericho, Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager, Santana and Ortiz,[234] leading to the creation of The Inner Circle to rival The Elite.[235] On the November 6 episode of Dynamite, Cody announced that if he were to lose at Full Gear, he would never challenge for the AEW World Championship again.[236] At Full Gear on November 9, Cody failed to win the championship from Jericho after MJF threw in the towel. After the match, MJF turned on Cody by kicking him the groin.[237]

Over the following months, Cody attempted to secure a match with MJF,[238][239] which MJF agreed to do as long as Cody met three stipulations: he could not touch MJF until the match, he would have to defeat MJF's bodyguard Wardlow in a steel cage match, and he would have to take ten lashes with a leather belt.[240] After taking the lashes,[241] Cody defeated Wardlow in a steel cage match on the February 19, 2020 episode of Dynamite to arrange the match for the Revolution pay-per-view.[242] Cody was defeated by MJF at Revolution on February 29.[243]

TNT Champion and departure (2020–2022)

On March 30, AEW announced a new title, the AEW TNT Championship; Cody was announced as a participant for an eight-man, single-elimination tournament to crown the inaugural champion.[244] Cody defeated Shawn Spears and Darby Allin to reach the finals of the tournament to face Lance Archer, who also advanced to the finals.[245] At Double Or Nothing on May 23, Cody defeated Archer to become the inaugural TNT Champion; Mike Tyson afterwards presented Cody with the title belt.[246] Over the following weeks, Cody successfully defended the championship against the likes of Jungle Boy,[247] Marq Quen,[248] Ricky Starks,[249] Jake Hager,[250] Sonny Kiss,[251] Eddie Kingston,[252] Warhorse,[253] and Scorpio Sky.[254] Cody lost the championship to Brodie Lee on the August 22 episode of Dynamite, ending his reign at 82 days (91 days as recognized by AEW due to tape delay).[255] Subsequently, it was reported that Cody would be taking up a leave of absence from the company.[256]

Cody returned on the September 23 episode of Dynamite, attacking Brodie Lee and members of his faction, The Dark Order.[257] Cody would defeat Brodie Lee to win the TNT Championship in a Dog Collar match on the October 7 episode of Dynamite, beginning his second reign with the championship, also marking Lee's final match before his death in December of that year.[258] On November 7, Cody, now once again under the full name Cody Rhodes due to WWE cancelling their trademark on the name (in a settlement that saw Cody relinquishing his claim to the trademarks for several WCW event names), lost the TNT Championship to Darby Allin at Full Gear.[259]

After losing the TNT Championship, Rhodes would begin a feud with famed basketball player Shaquille O'Neal.[260][261] On the March 3, 2021 episode of Dynamite, Rhodes teamed with Red Velvet in a loss to O'Neal and his partner Jade Cargill in a mixed tag team match.[262] At the Revolution event on March 7, Rhodes competed in the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match for a future opportunity at the TNT Championship, but the match was won by Scorpio Sky.[263]

On the March 31 episode of Dynamite, Rhodes began a feud with Q. T. Marshall, after Marshall and his allies Aaron Solow, Nick Comoroto and the debutant Anthony Ogogo assaulted Rhodes after a match.[264] At the Blood and Guts event on May 5, Rhodes defeated Marshall,[265] before going on to defeat Ogogo at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view later that month.[266] At the Road Rager event on July 7, Rhodes defeated Marshall in a South Beach Strap match to end the feud.[267][268] Following this, Rhodes began a feud with the debuting Malakai Black.[269] At the Homecoming event on August 4, Rhodes was quickly defeated by Black.[270] After taking a hiatus, Rhodes returned to face Black in a rematch at Grand Slam on September 22, but he was again defeated.[271] On the October 23 episode of Dynamite, Rhodes finally defeated Black.[272] At Full Gear, Rhodes teamed up with Pac against Black and Andrade El Idolo in a winning effort.[273] On the December 1 episode of Dynamite, Rhodes defeated Andrade in an Atlanta street fight.[274]

On December 25 at the special Holiday Bash episode of Rampage, Rhodes defeated Sammy Guevara to win the TNT Championship for a record third time.[275] At the Beach Break event on January 26, 2022, Rhodes lost the title back to Guevara in a highly acclaimed ladder match.[276] This would be Rhodes' last match in AEW, as on February 15, 2022, several sources reported that he and his wife Brandi had left the promotion as they were unable to come to terms on a new contract.[277]

Return to WWE (2022–present)

On March 18, 2022, it was reported by multiple sources that Rhodes had signed a contract with WWE.[278] On the first night of WrestleMania 38, Rhodes was revealed as Seth "Freakin" Rollins' surprise opponent, making his return to WWE after six years and defeating Rollins.[279][280][281] On the following episode of Raw, Rhodes stated that he returned to WWE to win the championship that his father, Dusty Rhodes, never got to hold, the WWE Championship. [282] Rhodes subsequently defeated Rollins once more in a rematch at WrestleMania Backlash.[283] Ahead of their Hell in a Cell match at the eponymous event, Rhodes suffered a legitimate pectoral muscle tear, which had eventuated halfway through a brawl on the prior episode of Raw. The injury was exacerbated when the muscle tore entirely off the bone while Rhodes was weight training in the days preceding the event.[284] He entered Hell in a Cell with a massive spot of discolored skin, but despite the severe injury, managed to defeat Rollins for the third time.[285] Dave Meltzer rated the match five stars, the first WWE main roster match since 2011 to receive such a rating. On the following episode of Raw, Rhodes discussed his injury during a promo about the upcoming Money in the Bank event, until Rollins came out and shook his hand, then as Rhodes was making his exit, Rollins attacked him from behind with a sledgehammer.[286] Three days later, it was announced that Rhodes underwent successful surgery to repair a torn right pectoral tendon, but was rendered unable to compete for nine months.[287]

After various vignettes documented his recovery from injury, on the January 16 episode of Raw, Rhodes announced he would return to competition in the men's Royal Rumble match at Royal Rumble on January 28.[288]
