I briefly thought of Rhodes, but didn't get the chance to check it out. After doing some research, you're right -- Cody Rhodes did have one hell of a reign. It's arguable whether or not you count his World Tag Team Title reign with Hardcore Holly as the same as his one with Ted DiBiase, however. But they were certainly consecutive days as champion that extended outside his rookie year. During this time in his rookie year, John Morrison & The Miz were holding the WWE Tag Team Championship, however.
Certainly an impressive accolade for Rhodes that announcers could point occasionally. "Cody Rhodes won a Tag Team Championship in his rookie year and spent 239 consecutive days as champion." Makes Rhodes sound solid as hell.
