How would you bring Cody Runnels back to TV and what do you have setup for him?

Doesn't he have something going with an actor from a high profile show? Just keep him off TV for another week and stay the course, didn't expect Undertaker to drop his character when Paul Bearer died. I know that's not his father, but the point remains.
Cody Rhodes by himself is just not interesting. He relishes in these character roles.

Nothing. He's not a star and never has been. I hated it when they used Eddie's death to push Rey to the top and this would be worse because Cody is mid-card at best.

He's got to ditch the Stardust gimmick. People will want to see him as the son of Dusty Rhodes.

Drop the "stardust" WWE will now turn him into "The son of the common man" dress him up in polka dots, and he'll be the Son of a son of a plumber! Soon he'll have "Starphire" dancing with him.

No one wanted to see Dustin Rhodes. They all want Goldust.

Because that makes sense right? Because people adopting their parents gimmicks always work.....I mean Orton was always a cowboy. Curtis Axel was put in a singlet right? What exactly was the point besides throwing out inane scenarios?

You forgot Ted Dibiase.
Dolph is a better Mr. Perfect just like Curtis is a better Hulk Hogan and Sandow is a better Lanny Poffo or Randy Savage. Miz is Johnny Cage. Bo Dallas's brother is Dan Spyvi.
More guys need to use other people's gimmicks that aren't related to them.
So Cody Rhodes would make an awesome Ultimate Warrior and Kevin Owens can be Dusti Rhodes.

The trolls are out in full force.
I think "Starphire" is a hilarious idea. Will any of these idea get Cody over as a main event guy, probably not. But they are fun to throw around on a message board. A point lost on a few.

I don't wanna make Cody champion but here's what I would do to make his character interesting. (Hope u like reading)
The Authority can open Raw. Ambrose interrupts before they can even speak. Steph says we were about to welcome back Cody Rhodes. Cody makes his entrance. Obviously the crowd cheers him because its the nice thing to do. They might even give a standing ovation. The longer/louder the better. Dean says "I'm sorry about you're old man". This is when Cody says he doesn't need anybody feeling sorry for him. Triple H tells Cody he doesn't have to take part in any action and can wrestle when he's ready. Cody urges for a match against Ambrose. Cody vs Dean is the main event. After losing the match Cody aligns himself with the Authority by taking out the beloved babyface Dean Fucking Ambrose. The reason he's in the match against Ambrose instead of Reigns is because heel turns are more effective when an attack is being done on characters fans like.
Also his new music starts like his dad's then instead of the woman singing "Dream" a new women sings "Nightmare". Cody's new nickname is the American Nightmare.

Tried that with Dustin in WCW, and tried it with Cody during Legacy.
American Nightmare and being in tw Authority wouldn't do anything but cast a shadow over Cody Rhodes. Atleast te Starsust gimmick leaves him on his own to do anything.
He's got something going on with Green Arrow. Good enough, he's never going to have the charisma Dusty had, he's not a maineventer, he's a hell of a hand and a very solid midcarder. Not everyone is mainevent material.

I guess Irony, humor combined with a total lack of a sens of humor on your part = You missing that not one bit of this was seriously being offered as a TRUE idea, instead it was meant as a commentary on things Vince has been known to pull in the past.

He needs memorable feuds. Dusti is nothing without Flair.

I see this all the time. Make the stupidest scenario and make it sound like its almost inevitable because the evil and senile Vince McMahon is so out of touch and only makes money because of blind luck.....even though the guy is still the greatest promoter in the history if promotions, be it a music promoter, boxing promoter, MMA promoter...and still thinks outside the box and ahead of the curve. Who besides WWE took the model they helped make(PPV)and move into the streaming world?
