Biography
Cody Garrett Runnels Rhodes, born June 30, 1985, is an American professional wrestler who competes under the ring name Cody Rhodes. The son of Dusty Rhodes and half-brother of Dustin Rhodes, he trained under a number of accomplished figures including Al Snow, Danny Davis, Dusty Rhodes, Dustin Rhodes, Randy Orton, Ricky Morton, and Shawn Spears. Before turning professional, Rhodes won two Georgia state high-school championships as an amateur wrestler in 2003 and 2004. He signed with WWE in 2006 and quickly made an impact in its developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling, where he captured every title in the promotion.
During his initial WWE tenure from 2007 to 2016, Rhodes won seven world tag team championships with four different partners, the Intercontinental Championship twice, and performed under various gimmicks including Stardust. After departing WWE in 2016, he competed on the independent circuit and for NJPW, TNA, and ROH, winning the ROH World Championship and the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship. He co-founded All Elite Wrestling in 2019, serving as executive vice president and becoming a three-time AEW TNT Champion. Returning to WWE in 2022, he has since accumulated numerous accolades including three WWE Championship reigns, back-to-back Royal Rumble victories, and recognition as WWE's 34th Triple Crown Champion, amassing 19 total championships across his career.
