Viewers may now gain insight into the life of Cody Rhodes (formerly known as Cody Runnels), whose path inside the realm of sports entertainment has been nothing short of interesting, thanks to Peacock’s “American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes.” The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star needed the help of many family members, including his sister Teil Runnels Gergel, as he rose to popularity. People naturally want to know what she is doing these days given the essential information about our favourite wrestler’s life that she offers in the documentary film, and we are here to investigate that.
Who is Teil Gergel?
The daughter of WWE legend Dusty “American Dream” Rhodes and his wife, Michelle Rubio, Teil was born on September 12, 1982, in Austin, Texas. On June 30, 1985, Cody was born, making her a big sister around three years later. Teil’s father has two older half-siblings from a previous marriage to Sandra Runnels: Dustin Rhodes and Kristin Ditto. Her family resided in Marietta, Georgia, where she spent a large portion of her youth.
Dusty made the decision to step away from WWE while Teil was in her early teens because he reportedly wanted to be more involved in the lives of his younger children after feeling guilty about not being able to do so with his older two. She talked about how Cody developed into a local sports superstar with his flawless resume as a wrestler in the documentary, and how people would come to their homes to interview them. In spite of this, Teil recalls how her father struggled as time went on to provide for the family’s food needs. She and Cody both accepted that their parents were doing the best they could, so they didn’t express any displeasure about it.
