5 best opponents for Cody Rhodes if he made a WWE return 

#2 Finn Balor

Balor and Cody have travelled similar roads!

There is so much that Cody and Finn Balor have in common, it would truly be a shame if we never get the opportunity to see this one materialize. Finn and Cody are both now Bullet Club royalty and while they have taken different routes, they have both stomped across some of the same historic wrestling promotions and towns.

Finn is now one of WWE's premier Superstars. Meanwhile, Cody is currently exploring some of Finn's former territories. It would be incredible to see these two meet up in the very near future, but that may be all but impossible, considering their current situations. But as mentioned earlier, it's certainly good to dream and having a match where Finn Balor potentially challenged Cody for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship...that would be one for the ages. Not mention what it would do in regards to restoring the legacy of the famed "10 pounds of Gold." However, it's not the NWA, Ring of Honor or NJPW that we are discussing today. We are talking about the possibility of a Cody Rhodes return and who would make the most sense as a top-level, main-event calibre opponent and Finn Balor certainly fit those credentials.
