the american nightmare

Lest you forget; he left WWE on his own terms, built a promotion from scratch, and helped it reach unfathomable heights!

Turns out his return to Vince McMahon's company wasn't just about what's best for Cody, it was about what's Best for Business.

Even though Cody Rhodes' WWE arrival was a top secret affair.

All 3 of his t-shirt designs, released & promoted at AT&T Stadium and SuperStore Axxess AFTER his match with Seth Rollins, were completely sold out !

And what's more; he seems to have surpassed the legacy of the biggest draw in WWE's Modern Era, John Cena himself!

While recounting 5 things the WWE Universe might not know about him at the set of "The Bump", Cody revealed that his WrestleMania t-shirts had beaten "John Cena numbers".

What makes this even more astonishing is the fact that from 2007-2017, Cena was THE top merch mover in WWE.

He was revealed as the top merch seller of 2021 as well, during WWE's Q3 Earnings Call, so to have topped even that number is a massive feather in Cody's cap.
