Top five WWE stars who could join the new Cody Rhodes' faction

Cody Rhodes is rumored to assemble his own faction to elevate his championship reign further.

Cody Rhodes has been reigning as the top attraction of WWE since his triumph over Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. The American Nightmare toppled the Tribal Chief and finished his story to claim the Undisputed WWE championship in grand fashion.

However, it seems that Rhodes is set to borrow a page from his playbook and make his own faction in WWE with recent reports pointing in that direction. Moreover, Cody himself spoke about aligning with new people to help him elevate his title reign further in a past interview. Here are the top 5 choices for Cody Rhodes’ rumored faction in WWE:

5. Ricochet

Ricochet is considered one of the best high-flying superstars on the WWE roster. However, despite all his success, he has yet to realize his full potential and emerge as a top attraction.

So aligning himself with the current face of WWE, Cody Rhodes could be the career move Ricochet needs to elevate to main event status and earn better opportunities for his WWE career.

4. Randy Orton

There is no secret of the storied history between Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. The Viper took a young Cody under his wing and the duo ran together as part of Orton’s ‘Legacy’ faction.

Therefore, it makes Randy Orton the perfect choice to align himself with Cody Rhodes once again in his possible faction that can act as a buildup towards their inevitable dream showdown in WWE as top stars.

3. Jey Uso

Ever since Jey Uso began his singles run in WWE, he has been aligned with Cody Rhodes for the majority of his tenure. Whether it was being tag team champions together or helping Cody finish the story, Jey Uso proved to be an important ally in his journey to the top.

Moreover, Jey siding with Cody Rhodes in his rumored faction could also see him finally clinch a World Championship win that has been alluding to him ever since, despite immense popularity among fans.

2. Arn Anderson

Much like Dusty Rhodes, Arn Anderson has been an important father figure in Cody Rhodes’ wrestling career. Furthermore, Arn Anderson’s tenure with WWE rivals ended recently making it a huge possibility for him to come back to WWE and align with The Prodigal Son.

Arn could fill a role that Cody would have wanted Dusty Rhodes to fill and make his run more credible as the top champion and leader of a faction.

1. Paul Heyman

In the words of Cody Rhodes, in a different lifetime, he would have made an excellent Paul Heyman Guy. However, Rhodes’ wish could probably come true with the onset of his speculated faction with Cody Rhodes recruiting the same man who took Roman Reigns to the top of the mountain.

Rhodes could be the savior for Paul Heyman, who has been rather uncomfortable with The New Bloodline led by Solo Sikoa, and begin an exceptional run as a part of Cody’s team in his effort to establish the top star of WWE.
