Cody was one of the highlights of AEW television as he immediately made an impact in the company. He even competed in the first-ever match on AEW Dynamite against Sammy Guevara, which he won. In addition, many long-time fans of All Elite Wrestling called Cody Rhodes match against his brother, Dustin at AEW’s inaugural pay-per-view event back in 2019 not only one of Cody’s best but one of the company’s best in its short infancy.
Since then, Rhodes has won the TNT Championship on three different occasions and has put over numerous stars such as MJF, Darby Allin, Sammy Guevara, and many others. Rhodes would also be a part of a beloved mixed tag team matchup that featured NBA icon, Shaquille O’Neal. Towards the end of his run in AEW, Cody Rhodes was also largely hated by fans as they simply wanted him to turn heel but he never did.
It was announced that Cody and his wife Brandi Rhodes had parted with the company after working there for over three years. This was seen as a shocking move as their departures came out of the left field and many fans expected to see them involved in more storylines as well.
He finally made his return to WWE during WrestleMania 38. He is currently out of action due to a pectoral injury.
Fightful Select is reporting that Brandi Rhodes is still a free agent. While Brandi has wrestled at the Performance Center and her husband is under contract, Rhodes has yet to reach a deal with WWE. Rhodes has reportedly been in contact with Warner Bros Discovery earlier this month. No context has been provided for the conversation, but it is noted that Brandi and WBD aren’t in regular contact, though both parties have maintained a cordial relationship. News broke earlier this month that WBD had reached out to Brandi’s husband Cody Rhodes to try and retain him before Cody’s exit from All Elite Wrestling.
