Pat McAfee: "I Guess Cody Rhodes Is Coming To WWE"

WWE SmackDown Commentator Pat McAfee may have confirmed Cody Rhodes is returning to the company.

Speaking on his show, McAfee initially joked about Cody returning to WWE but the former NFL punter admitted he was "pretty pumped" if The American Nightmare is indeed coming back.

"I guess Cody Rhodes is coming to WWE. I guess. Who cares dude?! Him and his little friends started something, it was terrible. We actually went head to head on Wednesday, we beat them a couple different times. Who cares dude? To hell with Cody Rhodes. Now people are going to think I'm starting an angle with Cody Rhodes," McAfee joked.

"I'm actually pretty pumped if Cody's coming back. Obviously a massive name in sports entertainment. If he's coming to SmackDown, I'm excited about it. Cody Rhodes is going to be cool though in WWE. Put him back as Stardust (laughs)! Seeing what he's done in AEW and seeing what he was doing in WWE, I can see why he maybe wanted to (leave WWE). But if he's back, he's back. I'm excited about it."

Cody and wife Brandi Rhodes departed All Elite Wrestling, the company they founded, last week and reports have noted the three-time TNT Champion is set to return to WWE. Brandi Rhodes, meanwhile, will not be coming back to Vince McMahon's company.
