Several fan favourites have left the WWE over the past few years. Damien Sandow, Ryback, Hornswoggle, Alex Riley, Wade Barrett and of course, Cody Rhodes(Stardust) were just a few notable names that departed in 2016. While some of those names have drifted off into obscurity, Cody Rhodes has landed flat on his feet and may have become more popular than he was at any point during his time with WWE.
Cody is currently the Global Force Wrestling NEX*GEN Champion, but if things continue to go as they currently are, Cody could be shooting for much higher accolades in the near future.

About the author
J. Carpenter
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
