Forget Deadpool & Wolverine: 10 Potential WWE Universe Anchor Beings

10. Cody Rhodes

An easy candidate for the WWE Universe's anchor being would be Cody Rhodes. After all, he's holding the Undisputed WWE Championship—the highest prize in the company's history.

Gunther is the top champion on Monday Night Raw, but the World Heavyweight Championship simply doesn't have the lineage and value of Cody's title. At the end of the day, Rhodes is the de facto main-eventer at the moment, and if one of these titles had to disappear, it would be Gunther's, not The American Nightmare's.

This isn't an era where one person is carrying the entire company on their shoulders, like Hulk Hogan used to, but Rhodes is in the closest to that position imaginable. He's the babyface to end all babyfaces, and his journey toward winning that belt was the biggest focal point of the past two years.

If Roman Reigns was the Thanos of WWE, collecting world titles and records like Infinity Stones, Rhodes was Captain America, and not just due to his ring gear. He was the one rallying the troops and leading the charge into battle to make things right again.

Similarly, if there was an invasion from another promotion like All Elite Wrestling, he'd be the face for Team WWE.
