Cody Rhodes: Vince McMahon has big plans for WWE return, including WrestleMania match

Cody Rhodes is believed to be returning to WWE, and all reports indicated that he’s going to be booked very well by Vince McMahon.

AEW confirmed yesterday that Cody Rhodes had not agreed to a deal to re-sign with the promotion, and would be leaving the company just over two years after its launch.

Very soon after that, it was reported that Cody Rhodes’ camp had been in conversations with WWE regarding a potential return, but fans were still sceptical.

However, all reputable journalists with knowledge of the situation have said that Rhodes is likely going to land in WWE, and could be appearing for the promotion “very soon”.

One of those journalists is Wade Keller of PWTorch, who says that while nothing has been officially announced yet, Cody is going to be returning to WWE.

Cody and WWE haven’t confirmed it but Cody is going to WWE and he’s going to get a big push

As you can see above, Keller stresses that Cody is set to get a big push now that he’s back in WWE, with Vince McMahon seeing this as a big signing.

McMahon reportedly doesn’t just see Cody’s return as a main eventer coming into the company, but also acknowledges the optics of having one of AEW’s Executive Vice Presidents leave to join WWE.

This means that McMahon is going to book the former Intercontinental Champion as a big deal when he does eventually return to the company, whenever that is:

“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.”
