Cody Rhodes recently revealed his list of favorite wrestlers during an appearance on the BBC, and it features some surprising choices. While discussing his top picks in response to a fan comment, Rhodes named John Cena , Hulk Hogan, Dusty Rhodes , and Sting as his top four. He said, “Alright, top five favorite wrestlers as of today. I would say John Cena, Hulk Hogan, my father Dusty Rhodes, Sting, and then, fifth spot I'm gonna split between The Rock and Roman Reigns ."
However, it was his fifth pick that raised eyebrows, as Rhodes mentioned both Roman Reigns and The Rock, two fierce rivals from his recent career. He clarified that the list reflected his feelings in the moment of the interview.
Cody Rhodes’ rivalry with Reigns and The Rock
Rhodes' history with Roman Reigns and The Rock is well-known, especially after their battles earlier this year. At WrestleMania 40, Rhodes faced off against Reigns on Night Two, securing a monumental victory that ended Reigns' unprecedented 1,316-day reign as Undisputed WWE Champion. This was a major moment in WWE history and marked the peak of their ongoing rivalry.
However, the story doesn't end there. On Night One of WrestleMania 40, The Rock and Roman Reigns teamed up in a tag team match against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. In this highly anticipated showdown, The Rock pinned Rhodes, adding fuel to the fire of their competitive dynamic.
Cody Rhodes’ future showdown with John Cena?
Rhodes also named John Cena as one of his favorite wrestlers, though the two have yet to face off in the ring. While they’ve crossed paths on WWE television, they haven’t squared off in a match. This might change soon, as Cena is scheduled to wrestle multiple times next year, which will be his last full year of competition in WWE. Fans are eager to see if Rhodes and Cena will finally meet in what could be a dream match for many.
Cody Rhodes’ connections to Sting and Dusty Rhodes
Rhodes also has a deep respect for Sting, though the two never wrestled each other during their time in AEW. Their paths never crossed in the ring, despite both being in the promotion at the same time.
Of course, Rhodes' list wouldn’t be complete without mentioning his father, Dusty Rhodes, a legendary wrestler and multiple-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Cody has often spoken about the impact his father had on his career, and Dusty's influence continues to be a driving force behind Cody’s success.
Rhodes’ list of favorite wrestlers offers a glimpse into his respect for both past legends and current rivals, showing how deeply connected he is to the wrestling industry, both personally and professionally. Fans are eagerly awaiting what’s next for the American Nightmare as his career continues to unfold in WWE.
