Cody Rhodes has had a great run in WWE, albeit as a mid-card star. Rhodes is a former six time tag team champion, three time Intercontinental Champion. However, he couldn't become World Champion and move to the main event scene, that saw him exit from WWE.

His father was WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes. Even though he didn't achieve anything much in WWE, he achieved a lot in NWA being their World Champion thrice. Apart from this, Dusty Rhodes was a brilliant mentor to many young WWE Superstars.

As for his son, he has co-started a new promotion named AEW which is slowly becoming a competition to WWE. Their first pay-per-view 'Double or Nothing' was a huge success with Cody competing against his brother Dustin Rhodes in an incredible match. By the looks of his current success, WWE might regret not pushing Cody as a main event star.
