5 talents better off outside WWE

#3 Cody Rhodes

Enough is enough, especially Stardust

There's not much to say about Cody. Other than his tag match with Goldust against the Shield at Battleground, the WWE dropped the ball by not using him properly as well.

The fact that Rhodes expresses his disinterest to return to the WWE is no surprise. His talent was wasted and he was given a gimmick that he did his best to make work, but was ultimately pointless.

With the G1 special in America not long ago, Cody showcased his ability by holding his own against Kazuchika Okada in a match for the IWGP title. Along with this, his Ring of Honor matches against Christopher Daniels and Jay Lethal have been some of his better pieces of work, and not to mention his bouts against Kurt Angle.

The way it's been going now, Cody looks to be better off working as a freelancer and for ROH/NJPW. He also seems to be having the time of his life wrestling and starring on the Young Bucks "Being the Elite," Youtube series. His addition to the Bullet Club only further elevated his character. Don't expect to be seeing him back in a WWE ring for a long time.
