Cody Rhodes Reveals When He Started Thinking About WWE Return

Cody Rhodes shocked the wrestling world when he walked away from AEW in February 2022, with rumour and speculation stating a return to WWE was on the cards.

Rhodes eventually returned to WWE at WrestleMania 38 night one, but during a post-WrestleMania media scrum, Rhodes revealed when he started thinking about a WWE return:

"Maybe around the Royal Rumble, because I didn't think I would get another shot at it, in terms of, I was really proud of the run I had in WWE, but in AEW I was Executive Vice President, head of community outreach department, and I had a lot of 'kids.' I didn't have time to think about it. We had a show and a business to run. It was moving so fast and I had so many other fun projects that I love doing like Go Big Show and Rhodes to the Top. I'm working on a pilot now about vintage spirits and bourbons in the US that I'm really excited about. Everything was moving so fast. As soon as the baby was born, the second thing I thought after 'she's so beautiful' was, 'I have to make a lot of money.' I was busy, busy, busy,” said Rhodes.
