News has been circulating throughout the pro wrestling news circuit that former WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes isn’t allowed to use his last name for independent wrestling jobs. Interestingly enough, it should be noted that none of Rhodes’ merchandise on Pro Wrestling Tees features the name ‘Rhodes’ on it. Cody was quick to respond to these allegations on Twitter:
Â
Â
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
