Cody Rhodes – Can he stay the face of WWE?

WrestleMania Legacy

Cody finally finished his story at WrestleMania, but can WWE keep his momentum strong beyond that iconic moment?

Ratings Pressure

Recent dips in SmackDown viewership raise questions about whether Cody alone can carry weekly shows.

Fresh Rivalries Needed

Feuds with Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns are done; new challengers like Gunther or LA Knight could redefine his reign.

Fan Connection

Cody’s emotional promos and underdog image still resonate, but repetition risks making them stale.

Merchandise & Marketability

Cody remains one of WWE’s top merchandise sellers, showing he’s still a major draw for casual fans.

Locker Room Leadership

Beyond storylines, Cody is seen as a locker-room leader, which WWE may leverage to build his “face of the company” aura.

Global Appeal

WWE’s international expansion, including WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia, will test Cody’s ability to connect with global audiences.
