Cody Rhodes Returning To WWE Would Change The Wrestling Landscape Forever

thegamer.com:

Cody Rhodes has left AEW. After helping found the company in 2019 as both executive vice president and regular on-air talent for the promotion, many fans assumed that the beloved wrestler would remain loyal through thick and thin. And he did for a while, but some form of growing divide between Rhodes, his partner Brandi, and All Elite Wrestling founder Tony Khan has resulted in their departure. To call it a shock would be an understatement.

All parties released extensive statements earlier this week confirming the rumoured news, making it clear that the split was amicable, and they wish one another continued success. Who knows if all of this is the truth, but one thing is clear - Cody Rhodes leaving AEW is massive, and where he goes will be equally consequential. He could return to New Japan Pro Wrestling or once again become a regular on the indie circuit, now outfitted with a much larger profile that will likely see him carry titles and helm main events like never before.

But one rumour stands out above all, and that’s a potential return to WWE, the very same company that Rhodes left behind so many years ago because he wasn’t treated with the respect he deserved. He spent years floundering in the mid-card, seldom receiving a push as he was forced to saddle gimmicks that never made effective use of his full potential. I can see why he decided to leave and found AEW, a place where talent could be taken seriously and realise that being a pro wrestler doesn’t end with WWE anymore. It is far from an unbeatable summit, and instead another location on a career filled with highlights.

I’ll admit that WWE has seen better days. The Attitude and
