2. Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes has just been sitting on the edge of a break out for many years. When "The Legacy" imploded and went their separate ways, it was interesting to see just how far Cody Rhodes would go as a singles superstar. He did not disappoint. Rhodes was able to show he had great mic skills and charisma with the "Dashing Cody Rhodes" gimmick and he would prove to be a great heel in the WWE. His in-ring work proves that he can keep the crowd on their feet and he has show-stealing potential and with his recent face turn, Rhodes has proved he can work both heel and face and make a great impression. Having held the Intercontinental Championship and being a multiple time WWE Tag Team Champion, one has to wonder just how long it is before Cody Rhodes goes on to win the big one.
