5. Cody Rhodes (Go-Big Show Judge)

Calling Cody Rhodes a professional wrestler seems like an undersell, as he doesn't just perform in the ring but also acts as the Executive Vice President of All Elite Wrestling. That in itself is impressive, but it's even more shocking when you consider that he also has a prominent position as a judge on the talent competition Go-Big Show.

Viewers are very used to talent shows at this point, as they've been done to death. Whether it's lacklustre variety shows, dance contests or singing competitions, they've seen it all. But the Go-Big Show tries its hardest to do something different, and it certainly does that.

The show's mission statement is to deliver on enormous talents, meaning instead of signing songs or dancing, the contestants bust out BMXs, human feet archery, horse riding and even monster trucks. It's a loud and over-the-top game show, which is why a pro wrestler as a judge makes perfect sense.

Whether you enjoy this kind of show or not, there's no denying that it's highly lucrative. Plus, it gives Cody some substantial mainstream crossover as he's sat next to judges like Rosario Dawson, Snoop Dogg, Jennifer Nettles and the host Bert Kreischer, which reflects well on AEW.
