Cody Rhodes has quickly become one of the top stars in WWE since he returned to the company at WrestleMania 38 last month. Rhodes spent several years working the independent scene before helping to establish AEW and throughout that time he made it clear that he’s not afraid to speak his mind.
Recently Cody Rhodes spoke to Sports Illustrated and he took the opportunity to hype himself up as he said, “I think I’m the best wrestler in the world. And I think it’s by a large margin. That upsets a lot of people, but I don’t mean it to draw ire … I’m here to hone my craft, build my body, and win matches.”
Current AEW star Dax Harwood of FTR referenced the quote when he posted a photo of himself attacking Cody Rhodes along with the following caption: “‘By a large margin’ lol”

Cody’s journey has been interesting to say the least but he made a big impact immediately when he returned to defeat Seth Rollins on the Grandest Stage of Them All last month. Cody also picked up another big win over Rollins at the WrestleMania Backlash pay-per-view, and it’s been confirmed that they will face off once again at Hell in a Cell in June. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
