This Sunday, A&E’s “WWE’s Greatest Moments” turns its attention to one of professional wrestling’s most compelling figures: Cody Rhodes. The episode traces the arc of Rhodes’ career, from his early days in the WWE, through his time wrestling outside the organization, to his triumphant return.
Hosted by Michael Cole, the episode begins with a look at Rhodes’ early years, including his first singles match at WrestleMania in 2011. The program then revisits some of his defining battles such as the brutal steel cage match with Seth Rollins. Though injured, Rhodes persevered, showing the kind of grit that has become his trademark.
But perhaps the biggest moment covered in this episode is Rhodes’ 2022 comeback to the WWE. After forging his own path outside the organization, he returned to a hero’s welcome, a moment that resonated with fans across the wrestling world. His victory over Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 40 marks a high point in a storied career that is far from over.
With clips of Cody’s father, the legendary Dusty Rhodes, woven throughout, this episode explores how Cody built his own distinct legacy in the world of professional wrestling. “WWE’s Greatest Moments: Cody Rhodes” airs Sunday, May 11 at 9:30 PM ET on A&E.
