Cody Rhodes' recent online spat with Roman Reigns has, if nothing else, highlighted how the current Ring Of Honor Champion has established himself as the biggest star in his own 'universe'. Referring to himself as the 'biggest draw in the industry' thanks to some impressive ROH pay-per-view and attendance figures, Cody has done what many thought he couldn't in establishing a solid reputation as one of the most consistent performers on the independent scene.
