Update: Cody Rhodes Says He “Owns Rhodes”

July 15, 2016

Despite the “Rhodes” name being pulled from a t-shirt promoting the upcoming Cody Rhodes vs Kurt Angle match, Cody took to Twitter and noted he “owns Rhodes”.

The Tweet does not confirm, however, whether or not he will be able to continue using the name on the indy scene.

For all of Cody’s announced upcoming matches on the indy scene, he is being billed as Cody Rhodes, however all of his Pro Wrestling Tees merchandise says only Cody, and does not have the last name.

I own Rhodes

He was with me for my first breath and I was with him for his last

There’s no piece of paper on Earth that takes my name away
