Cody Rhodes wins ESPY award for Best WWE moment of the year
2022 has been one of the best years of Cody Rhodes' professional wrestling career. He began the year by winning the TNT Championship for a record third time in All Elite Wrestling.
After leaving the company, he made a grand return at WrestleMania 38, where he defeated Seth 'Freakin' Rollins.
