Cody Rhodes has been portrayed as the face of WWE ever since he made his return to the promotion in 2022. He was out of the promotion for over six years, and he was given one of the founding members of the AEW wrestling promotion. Finally, he returned to WWE at WrestleMania 38 as the surprise opponent of Seth Rollins.
WWE believed in giving him a slow build to progress him into the face of the promotion. He won two consecutive Royal Rumble matches and became the fourth wrestler to win back-to-back Royal Rumble matches. He also challenged Roman Reigns in back to back to WrestleMania events for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

He is presently having a rivalry with Drew McIntyre
“I hate nostalgia, but I love my business. I already know what all these guys did for us. Thank you, they’ve set the table that I get to eat at. But man, they can’t keep coming back. From a wrestling perspective, we have to move forward. I don’t want them coming back; I don’t mean any disrespect.”
“I want them to come to a show, sit, and watch a show. Watch what they’ve done for the business. I don’t think enough people are in the pursuit of greatness, and they’re afraid to say it. Mediocrity loves company. When you find a circle of people that don’t grow as close to you, and don’t want you to go for it.” said the present Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
