On the biggest stage in all of sports entertainment, WrestleMania 39, Cody Rhodes fell short in his quest for glory, losing to the reigning Universal Champion Roman Reigns. But while the defeat may have stung at the moment, the American professional wrestler has much to be proud of when it comes to his career, family, and personal life.

Born on June 30, 1985, Cody Garrett Runnels Rhodes is currently 37 years old. The son of the legendary wrestler Dusty Rhodes, Cody grew up around the business and followed in his father’s footsteps by entering the ring himself. He began his professional wrestling career in 2006 under the name Cody Runnels and quickly rose through the ranks in various independent promotions.

Career

In 2007, Cody signed with WWE and made his debut on their main roster as a part of the tag team known as Legacy. From there, he went on to win multiple championships, including the Intercontinental Championship and the Tag Team Championship, before ultimately leaving WWE in 2016 to pursue other opportunities.

Despite his departure from WWE, Cody has continued to thrive in the world of professional wrestling. In 2019, he co-founded All Elite Wrestling (AEW), a new promotion that has quickly gained a dedicated following and become a serious competitor to WWE. As Executive Vice President of AEW, Cody has helped shape the direction of the company and has even held their World Championship title.

Net Worth

Cody’s success in the ring has also translated into financial success. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Cody’s net worth is estimated to be around $10 million. This is likely due in part to his many years in WWE, as well as his work with AEW and other promotions.

Relationship and Family

Beyond his career, Cody is also known for his close relationships with his family. He is married to fellow wrestler Brandi Rhodes (née Reed), and the two have a daughter together named Liberty. Cody is also close with his brother, Dustin Rhodes, who is also a professional wrestler and has worked alongside Cody in both WWE and AEW.

Cody has been open about the impact his father had on his life and career. In interviews, he has spoken about how Dusty Rhodes instilled in him a love for wrestling and taught him many of the skills and techniques he uses in the ring today. Dusty passed away in 2015, but his legacy lives on through his sons’ work in the business.
