Cody Rhodes, a WWE mainstay for over a year, has emerged as the top merchandise seller, consistently outselling his colleagues, according to a recent report by Fightful Select. He only experienced an exception to this when John Cena made a one-off return in the March 6 episode of RAW.
Rhodes’ WWE Return
Rhodes made a significant comeback at WrestleMania 38, securing a victory over Seth Rollins. Since then, he has been doing incredibly well as a full-fledged babyface on WWE TV, gaining immense popularity among kids, leading many fans to believe that he could be the modern-day John Cena.
Comparisons to John Cena
In the March 6 episode of RAW, both Cena and Rhodes shared a heartfelt exchange, with The Cenation Leader embracing Rhodes and holding his arm up. In an interview with My Mom’s Basement, Rhodes discussed the differences between him and Cena, stating that Cena was “the ultimate role model” in terms of conduct with the media, fans, and colleagues.
Current Feud with Brock Lesnar
Rhodes is currently involved in a feud with Brock Lesnar, who recently defeated The American Nightmare at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. With his merchandising success and popularity, it’s clear that Cena must be proud of Rhodes’ accomplishments since his WWE return.
