NEWS: Cody Runnels Speaks Out on Not Being Able to Use the Rhodes Name

NEWS: Former WWE Superstar and current Impact wrestler, Cody Rhodes, recently sat down with Sports Illustrated's Justin Barraso for an in depth interview. Barraso asked Cody about not being legally allowed to use the Rhodes last name, a name his late father Dusty Rhodes used for more than two decades before ever even coming to the WWE. Cody Rhodes stated the following,

"I'll tell you this, and I've not told anyone this, but I don't mind that WWE took away my last name. Deep down, in my bones, I definitely want it back – and I have plans to get it back – but there is something to being Cody. The longer I don't have a last name, the more I'm OK with it. That's not to say WWE is holding it ransom. It's literally an intellectual property law that easily can be remedied, but there is something about being Cody that I don't mind. There is something to not always reminding people of a show they've already seen, but instead embracing the one right in front of him. I am Cody, and I can promise you that the future is going to be even better than the past."

Cody and his wife Brandi are currently working with Impact wrestling, as well as several independent promotions.
