"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes made his return to WWE at this year's Wrestlemania 38. Rhodes returned to the company after a six-year absence, where he performed on other shows and was one of the inaugural superstars in the rise of AEW.

Now, with his return to WWE, many WWE fans want to take control of The American Nightmare in the new WWE 2K22. Rhodes hasn't featured officially in a WWE game since he left the company, which was just prior to WWE 2K17, however, you can now play with him in WWE 2K22 thanks to superstar creators. Here's how to add Cody Rhodes in WWE 2K22.

How to Add Cody Rhodes in WWE 2K22

You can add Cody Rhodes to WWE 2K22 using the Online Community Creation Suite.

Thanks to the creation suite in WWE 2K22, players can create their own WWE Superstars, titles, arenas and more. You can download any of these superstars straight from the creation center and play with them in your exhibitions or even in Universe Mode, allowing for even more potential storylines.

Many players have already uploaded Cody Rhodes CAWs as well as attires. Whether you want to use his Wrestlemania 38 attire or even his Stardust attire, there is an option available for you. The one in the above tweet by user BHANGRA22MAN looks very accurate to Cody Rhodes' look at this years Wrestlemania, and even features all of his tattoos.

While it's unlikely we will see Cody Rhodes' official superstar developed by WWE 2K22 devs this year, based on what he has said publicly about his return, he will likely be available to use in WWE 2K23 in the future. Until then, the creation suite is a solid replacement.
