#2 Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes was a mid-carder at best in WWE and held the Tag Team Titles and the Intercontinental Title during his run. After splitting from the company, Rhodes began working towards something huge.

This turned out to be an entirely new promotion called AEW, which is backed by a billionaire named Tony Khan. The promotion of AEW's first show, Double Or Nothing, saw Cody taking shots at WWE and vowing to "kill the Attitude Era".

Cody took the jibes at a whole new level at the PPV, when he made his elaborate entrance, which saw Brandi handing him a sledgehammer and Cody proceeding to destroy a throne with it. Now, AEW has come up with official T-shirts highlighting the infamous moment. Although a true wrestling fan wouldn't want it to happen, if AEW closes someday and Cody tries to come back to a Triple H led WWE, he might face some serious issues doing the same.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
