As stated Rhodes has been with the Company for ten years; but, the Rhodes family has strong WWE ties, having been involved with the WWE since for the majority of the time, since the late 1980s. Cody's late father, WWE Hall of Famer, Dusty worked as a booker and agent until his death in 2015. Cody's brother Dustin Runnels (Goldust) still works for the Company and is currently involved in a major on-screen angle with R-Truth, Fandango, and Tyler Breeze. WWE has yet to comment on Cody's request for a release.
