Since others may go down the same throught process I did I will save you the time. He was born Runnels then legally changed his name while a teenager in high school to Cody Garrett Runnels Rhodes. So he kind of is Cody Rhodes however maybe he has two last names or moved Runnels to be a middle name then solely Rhodes as his last name.

so does WWE own just 'John Cena' or his full name?

I dont know how Copyright and trademark laws work but are you telling me if John Cena goes to AEW, he can't be called John Cena?

Well they can if they let him and they would get a cut of his merch and stuff. But yes, WWE owns the rights to Cena's name and gets a cut off his movie deals as a result.

It's why a bunch of talent don't ever really have a big issue with name changes as fans do, since it allows them to keep the trademark on their normal name.

But isn't that his real name? How could you own the rights to someone's real name?

Just saw a meme that said “Out of all the members of Evolution, Ric Flair has had the most recent match” was Randy hurt before Rics last March?

With WWE going to a bunch of unique places as of late, it's about time Australia gets a show. That crowd will be electric.

The shills who said she was awful will now all of a sudden love her.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

The shills who said she was awful will now all of a sudden love her.

I mean, she is very meh in the ring and she needs to be produced more... so WWE is probably the best place for her.

For sure. But she “sucked” and was “useless” a few months ago.

 

[Unholy Diver]

hopefully we can finally get the payoff to Jade & Brandi

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

For sure. But she “sucked” and was “useless” a few months ago.

Watch her first challenge be Nia Jax.

 

[GKJ]

Watch her first challenge be Nia Jax.

No, it’ll be Nattie.

 

[sansabri]

my opinion of Jade has not changed: f***ing hot, f***ing money on the mic and a disastrous injury waiting to happen in the ring. can she learn in NXT? absolutely
