Cody Garrett Runnels Rhodes ( Runnels; born June 30, 1985) [9][10] better known simply by his ring name Cody Rhodes, is an American professional wrestler and actor. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand. He is the current Undisputed WWE Champion in his first reign as both the WWE and Universal Champion. He is nicknamed "The American Nightmare" and is one of the most popular face wrestlers today. The son of Dusty Rhodes and the half-brother of Dustin Rhodes, he is married to Brandi Rhodes.

Rhodes started his wrestling career for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2006, working there for the next ten years. During this time, he became a two-time Intercontinental Champion and a six-time tag team champion (three-time World Tag Team Champion and three-time WWE Tag Team Champion).[1][5] From 2014–2016, he was known as Stardust. Rhodes was released from WWE in May 2016.[11] After that he worked on the Independent circuit, for Ring of Honor (where he won the ROH World Championship, the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship and the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, which was also won by his father), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling/Impact Wrestling and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (where he was an important member of the Bullet Club and a former IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion).

On January 1, 2019, Rhodes joined the newly founded company All Elite Wrestling (AEW).[12] There he was an executive vice president and a record-tying three-time TNT Champion (also being the first man to win the title). On February 15, 2022, he left AEW.[13] That April he returned to WWE on the first night of WrestleMania 38, defeating Seth "Freakin" Rollins.[14] He would go on to win the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship (his fourth Raw Tag Team Championship and his first SmackDown Tag Team Championship) and the Royal Rumble Match in 2023 and 2024, becoming the fourth wrestler to win that match twice in a row.[15]

On April 7, 2024, at night two of WrestleMania XL, Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns to win the Undisputed Universal Championship. It was Rhodes' first world title in WWE and it also ended Reigns' record-setting 1,316-day reign. By winning, Rhodes also became a Triple Crown champion.[16]
