Imbroglio around Cody Rhodes and the WWE

What if Cody Rhodes finally backtracks and returns to AEW without going back to WWE? This is a situation that might happen according to the latest rumors. We explain everything to you in this article.

3 weeks ago, thea All Elite Wrestling announced the sudden departure of Cody and Brandi Rhodes through a press release. Even though the idea of ​​a work – that is, a story created from scratch for television – crossed our minds, it was later confirmed that it was indeed a real departure. Since then, a return to WWE has been seriously considered by fans, although there is no information to prove the signing of a contract at this time.

Today BodySlam gives us an update on the Cody Rhodes case. First of all, he confirms via internal sources that the departure of the couple is real and that it is in no way a work. The US site also says that talks between Cody Rhodes and WWE did take place, but that they would have “fallen into the water”. Additionally, one person shared that there was some hope of seeing Cody Rhodes back in AEW. A step back that would be possible now that the wrestler can have a new role with the takeover of ROH by Tony Khan.

On the other hand, this news should be taken with a grain of salt, especially since Dave Meltzer says the opposite. According to him, WWE creative team reportedly working on plans for Cody Rhodes and unless they are cancelled, he is expected to return soon. For its part, Ringside News went to ask a member of the creative team and his answer suggests that Cody Rhodes will be at WrestleMania: “I know what’s next for Cody at WrestleMania and it’s still on the list. If that has changed, no one has told us yet or corrected the internal documents.“

This is the latest news we have on this case. The hypothetical return of Cody Rhodes to WWE is therefore called into question. What do you think ?
