Amell briefly worked alongside Rhodes during his initial run with WWE. The two men reunited at Ring of Honor, where the actor joined the Bullet Club. He then teamed up with Rhodes, Kenny Omega, and The Young Bucks for a huge tag team match.

Bully Ray believes Cody Rhodes is a perfect candidate to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39
Bully Ray recently backed Cody Rhodes to win the Royal Rumble and headline WrestleMania 39 against Roman Reigns.
Speaking on the Busted Open podcast, Ray mentioned the idea of a feud between the Rhodes family and the Anoa'i family, with Rhodes and Reigns at the center of it. He said:
"We have the Rhodes family versus the Anoa'i family. Now Cody comes back at the Rumble and goes on to win the Rumble, you have three-and-a-half months of solid storytelling around that. I don't think you can wait until WrestleMania next year."
