Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion, has been making headlines recently with his aggressive behavior towards Drew McIntyre on SmackDown. After invading McIntyre’s house and putting the SmackDown general manager, Nick Aldis, on notice, Rhodes is proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the WWE.
But there’s more to Cody Rhodes than just his in-ring antics. In a recent interview, Arn Anderson compared Rhodes in WWE and AEW, noting that Rhodes had full creative control in AEW, while WWE has a strict hierarchy of people in charge. Despite this, Rhodes has made a successful return to the global juggernaut in 2022 and has been a top star ever since.
Mark Henry also weighed in on Rhodes’ recent promo on SmackDown, suggesting that his demeanor sounded more like a heel than a babyface. With the rivalry with McIntyre heating up, Henry believes that Rhodes may be pushed to embrace his dark side in the coming weeks.
Rhodes has also been one of the least pinned WWE Superstars of 2025, with only two losses this year. Despite briefly losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to John Cena at WrestleMania 41 and falling to Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel: Perth, Rhodes has remained a dominant force in the WWE.
As the year comes to a close, Cody Rhodes continues to be a standout performer in the WWE, both in and out of the ring. With his aggressive demeanor and impressive track record, it’s clear that Rhodes is a force to be reckoned with in the world of professional wrestling.
