Cody was just as much of a name outside of the WWE as he was before he left. He seems like a big star now because that’s how creative is booking him. He’s now a major star in pro-wrestling because he’s being booked as such.
Wrestling fans know Cody Rhodes. Non-wrestling fans do not.

All I got to add to the convo is that Rocky better bring this douchebag theme back for this run.

I'd bet if you polled on the street they'd have an equal response. Quit pretending. If anyone got more rubs from ANYONE it's Reigns, and that still hasn't helped his recognizability outside the wrestling community.

WWE had to get behind Reigns more than any wrestler ever to get him over and he barely started feeling "believable" since 3 years ago (post-COVID and leukemia return). And the non-wrestling people I know (even prior fans) have never heard of Reigns.

The WWE is booking Cody nearly perfectly, but there is no way in hell he is a mainstream/household name or bigger than Roman Reigns and I would not even class Reigns as a household name the same way the likes of Hogan, Savage, Rock, Austin and Cena are. If Rhodes has become even close to being known in the mainstream it is because people already followed The Rock and saw him posting about the stuff that went down!
Cody is a star in the wrestling world and there is nothing wrong with that at all, to think he is this mainstream star is just pure delusional.

Cody is a star in the wrestling world and there is nothing wrong with that at all, to think he is this mainstream star is just pure delusional. Exactly. Cody is a top star in the wrestling world. That is a compliment, and a huge success, in and of itself. To be fair, NO ONE in modern wrestling is a mainstream star. Those days are over. I'm not saying it can't happen again, but it has been a long, long time since wrestling has created a mainstream star. The last would be John Cena. That's saying a lot. Ronda is a household name as well, but she was a household name way before she came to the WWE. NJPW wrestlers might be household names in Japan (I don't live there so I don't know), but no one from WWE, AEW, or TNA is a household name.

I'd say Reigns is the only mainstream guy right now. Hogan,Austin,Rock,Cena,Andre,Brock, etc are just on another level.

I know people who have been into wrestling and still don't know who he is. Even the kids I talk to these days don't know Roman Reigns.

There’s no way that the Zoomers don’t know who Reigns is if they watch wrestling. Maybe some people who haven’t watched the product in years, but current fans? No way. Reigns has been on multiple shows, podcasts, movies etc. Shoot people know him as Jason Mamoa’s twin.. It’s okay to dislike Reigns, but to discredit his status is crazy. Reign’s isn’t as big as the likes of Hogan, Austin, Cena, The Rock (recognition wise), but I believe part of that has to do where wrestling is currently at. It’s not as popular as it once was. However, in the future he’ll be on that list of one of the guys that did it for the younger fans.

He was viral all over the tiktok and YT app just barely a year ago for the LOLROMANWINS posts/videos/shorts so there's that too. He's no Andre or Hogan but he's definitely the biggest name in wrestling today my a large margin next to Orton

I don’t know if I would consider Roman mainstream. Sure he’s been in some movies, but they are movies that really cater to the same demographic that watch wrestling. To me mainstream means he’s familiar to many people outside of that demographic.
