Cody Rhodes is the single hottest commodity in wrestling right now. In WWE, he looked like he would become a star and being a part of huge legacy helped his career no end, however, the momentum in his career seemed to go away suddenly.

He requested his release from the company and made the switch to the independent circuit, where he found success on many independent brands such as Ring of Honor and NJPW.

The major change came in his life when he was accepted into the Bullet Club. Since then there has been no looking back for Rhodes. Cody has been part of some of the best storylines in New Japan Pro Wrestling.

He, with The Young Bucks, also held one of the biggest indie events in USA, All In, where he also won the NWA title.
