Why Cody won't ask for name back:

Cody Rhodes says he believes WWE would give him his Rhodes name back if he asked, but has decided he won't...

"It's a very simple matter of, if I want to ask for my last name, if I want to ask for Cody Rhodes back to perform under it — I perform under it at non-televised events, it's not secret to the fans that's my last name — but when it comes to television, that's WWE's intellectual property. And I am wholeheartedly sure that if I were to ask them to go by Rhodes, they would have no problem. But I don't mind going by just Cody. I think there's something cool about it."

Why Cena has been moved to Raw:
