Previously, it was reported that Cody Rhodes left AEW for a painful reason. Wade Keller of PWTorch recently reported that should Cody Rhodes make his return to WWE, he could have a major match at WrestleMania 38. WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon reportedly has huge plans for Rhodes upon his return.
Cody Rhodes could have a major match at WrestleMania 38
Wade Keller posted an audio update on Cody Rhodes on a PWTorchVIP.com audio show and he noted that Vince McMahon is ready to give ‘The American Nightmare’ a big push at the start and he is expected to make an appearance at WrestleMania 38.
Keller said:
“I’ve been on the phone all morning all afternoon, nonstop with people in AEW, texting people about the news on Cody Rhodes, which you’ve most likely heard about Cody gone from AEW and heading to WWE. Cody and WWE haven’t confirmed it but Cody is going to WWE and he’s going to get a big push. Vince McMahon is going to treat this as a big deal. Everybody I talked to thinks Vince loves the idea of acquiring a co-founder and EVP and, you know, main event wrestler. He just held their secondary singles title not that long ago, and having him show up on WWE TV is something that Vince is very interested in taking advantage of and making money on it. It could even be a situation where Cody is in a major match at WrestleMania.”
Keller said he had “four-plus hours of conversations” with his sources within AEW and WWE, which led him to believe that Rhodes is expected to be on the WrestleMania 38 card:
“I fully expect Cody to be on WrestleMania either as a wrestler or making his first appearance,” Keller said. “I don’t know if they can hold back on putting him on TV so I could even see him appearing on Raw or SmackDown next week. I’m not aware of there being any kind of non-compete at this point since he’s been a free agent for a while so Cody could appear. I wouldn’t be shocked if there’s even some augmentation to the booking plans for WrestleMania perhaps related to the Elimination Chamber to set the stage for Cody to do something really big at WrestleMania.”
As it turns out, WWE is the potential destination for Rhodes.
