The latest on Cody Rhodes
Added 2022-02-25 19:51:25 +0000 UTCThe latest on Cody Rhodes is that things have been eerily quiet over the past week.
Those in WWE are very specific to say "if Cody Rhodes comes in" and "if Cody Rhodes" pops up and we haven't heard of anyone speaking of plans creatively for him as of yet. That doesn't mean there aren't any, but we haven't heard of them. Last we heard, he wasn't listed on the script for Smackdown tonight, either. Those obviously change a lot. Wrestlers in WWE still believe he's coming in, but have not been given any indication from an official standpoint that it is going to happen.
In All Elite Wrestling, those that we spoke to last week and this week stated that things were "business as usual" and the subject wasn't discussed nearly as much over a quiet week. One source indicated that they believe Tony Khan and Cody Rhodes are still on friendly terms, and don't expect any unsavory comments or reflections to be put forth by either man. Sources in AEW we spoke to said that the particulars had been kept pretty private.
When we reached out to Cody Rhodes last week, the only comment we received was that he's a "stay at home dad now." Those close to him insisted that he was in Orlando to visit friends for a birthday dinner, as opposed to the rumors of him heading to the Performance Center. We've not been able to independently confirm either.

They missed an opportunity - the Cody story was such a hot topic and a swift apperance at WWE would have tore the roof off and exploded the internet. Now it's so quiet, momentum has been lost. I'm not as into it now and don't really care what he does. The more silence, the more I start to warm to the fact that its somewhat of a work.

2022-02-26 11:50:17 +0000 UTCI was wondering if he might try and start a company, I heard someone saying him and Jarrett. Was surprised he’d go back to wwe where he would have little control over what he does.

2022-02-25 22:31:22 +0000 UTCI'm just curious if they are pitching any angles or story ideas as a means to entice him to sign and what those creative plans might be. Hopefully better than the rumored pitches for Adam cole

2022-02-25 22:18:43 +0000 UTCI think WWE could really make something *big* with his arrival so they should really take all the time in the world to prepare for it. There’s not been a good Raw after WM debut for a while so I hope they really handle with care.
2022-02-25 20:12:36 +0000 UTC"...He's a 'stay at home dad [FOR] now'" - *this* I can believe. 😄 I can easily imagine him taking the opportunity to spend extra time with Libby before he hits the road again.

2022-02-25 20:11:36 +0000 UTCIf he doesn't make Mania, I can see him taking an extended break to explore other media opportunities. Isn't Heels currently filming season 2?

2022-02-25 20:02:20 +0000 UTCdon't work yourself into a shoot, brother
2022-02-25 20:00:21 +0000 UTCI think he's probably facing seth tbh. The only other person seth can face is theory and he's a heel
2022-02-25 20:00:16 +0000 UTCDude he gonna take a brake for a while then come back

2022-02-25 19:55:27 +0000 UTCHonestly it'd be pretty fun if Cody Rhodes just starts YouTube channel to talk about being a stay at home dad.

2022-02-25 19:55:24 +0000 UTCBeen no expected Dan Lambert promo on Rhodes leaving, so potentially the matter isn't closed for AEW just yet. Very respectful

2022-02-25 19:53:42 +0000 UTCAfter all of this, it would honestly be hilarious if he wound up back in AEW. Like, I still don't expect that, but it would be very funny.
