While Sean Ross Sapp is unable to confirm that Cody Rhodes signed a contract with WWE, many within the company believe that it will happen sooner rather than later. It’s also noted that potential return of The American Nightmare to WWE has been a hot topic among those in the locker room this week.
Many believe that Rhodes “fell out of power in AEW and wanted a significant raise,” although this has not been confirmed by either Cody Rhodes or Tony Khan at this time. Sapp also noted that the general feeling among those who he have spoken in the WWE locker room was described as “excitement and shock” and that there are “several top stars” who intend to welcome Cody Rhodes back into the locker room with “open arms.”
One top name told to Sean Ross Sapp that he believes “it will be great for fans” as the star’s potential return has already captivated the wrestling world. If Rhodes does sign with WWE, this development could make the Road to WrestleMania 38 even more exciting.
