After leaving WWE in 2014, Cody Rhodes made a huge name for himself in promotions like NJPW, and was one of the founding members of AEW.

His return to WWE in 2022, made a huge splash and he has been a fan favourite ever since.

Rhodes was the main event of WrestleMania in 2023, and is one of the frontrunners to headline the Royal Rumble this week.

There is also a pre-order bonus pack focused on the star, including more characters and costumes.

The Nightmare Family Pack contains four playable characters including “Undashing” Cody Rhodes, Stardust, Rhodes’ father Dusty Rhodes, and one of Dusty’s biggest rivals Billy Graham.

The Deluxe Edition will not only feature Rhodes on the cover but some of the most prominent women wrestlers Rhea Riplet and Bianca Blair.

Ripley held the Women’s World Champion title for most of last year and is also a member of the Judgement Day faction.

Belair’s year-long title reign ended last year, but she has remained as popular as ever.
