The Many Faces Of Cody Rhodes - From Worst To Best

2. The Brotherhood

Cody Rhodes Gimmicks

This was Cody's only real babyface run since solidifying himself as WWE superstar. 

The entire Rhodes family became involved, as the Authority sought to make their lives hell, firing Cody and shaming Dusty and Goldust in the process. This all led to Cody and Goldie facing Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins of The Shield for the WWE Tag Team Championships, which they won.

Whilst Cody didn't immediately reach incredible heights as a babyface, it is this gimmick/persona that will eventually become his bread and butter in WWE. He showed the babyface fire that made his Daddy famous on an number of occasions during the run, and he has the in-ring chops to back that up.

This writer thinks the creative team missed a trick by not having Cody be Kaitlyn's secret admirer back in 2012, and intertwining the Kaitlyn/AJ Lee feud with a Dolph Ziggler/Cody Rhodes squabble. But I digress. Babyface Cody Rhodes will be a WrestleMania main eventer one day. Mark my words.
