Cody Rhodes has been deemed the brightest star on the roster since his grand return to WWE last year at WrestleMania 38. The American Nightmare continued to back up his elite status with high-tier in-ring performances in his trilogy of matches against Seth Rollins until he was injured.
Rhodes has cemented his spot at the top of the mountain after claiming his ticket to the main event of WrestleMania following his win at the Men's Royal Rumble match. The Grandson of a Plumber entered the Rumble at the #30 spot and delivered another electric performance as he went head-to-head with Gunther and bested him to win the match.
It's evident that WWE has a lot of trust in Rhodes's ability as a top star and has big plans for him at the Showcase of the Immortals. According to a report from PWinsider, Cody Rhodes will appear on this week's Monday Night RAW and will go on to be booked as a permanent fixture for the red brand moving forward on the Road to Mania.
It's going to be interesting to see how plans for Cody are going to align with building a feud with Roman Reigns, as both stars will be competing on different brands.
