I hope not. WWE has enough midcarders that everyone wants to be World Champ at the same time.

This will be fun to see the fandom roles reversed and everyone losing their minds when he shows up in WWE as if they haven't been dragging him for 3 years

I wouldn't trust Vince to book it, but if Cody, Roman and Heyman where given the ability, they could tell one hell of a story.

The pop for Cody at WrestleMania would be huge, zero question. Despite the small portion that really, really hated him in aew, his segments were always well viewed on the ratings barometer.

What I'm not looking forward to if he goes to WWE: The inevitable aew fans going "whatever Cody always sucked" and the WWE fans suddenly liking Cody again and pretending they always did. Not everyone of course, but we know the type. Hint: they're all on Twitter 😂. We see it all the time with people on this board. Adam Cole and c.m punk related especially. No doubt Cody would generate the same type of idiocy. Don't forget the"if he's smart","if he wants to be a mid carder"or "he wants to be in the big leagues he'll do this" comments. The worst parts of the fandom are definitely getting ready to come out if not already out.

Cody Rhodes has the potential to bring out toxic fandom on a level very few wrestlers can muster.

Tony Khan didn’t want to give him the pencil or EVP title anymore so he got peeved and bounced. Not to mention that Brandi wanted to have more of a spotlight in the womens division even though she’s not good at all.
I’m sure he’s aware that the grass isn’t greener on the other side at WWE. But maybe he just wants that payday.

I smell ratings here.
This will happen, no doubt.
The only question is who would be his Wrestlemania opponent? Triple H is not available. Seth Rollins comes to my mind. GUNTHER might be too early, as he is not the big draw at this early point of his WWE career. They would definitely give him a huge story for Wrestlemania, but I can see the Cesaro treatment afterwards.
Of course they cal always do Owens vs Rhodes instead of the Austin rumor, who might be just his new Double A.

I hope upon his return Cody is booked as a main event level talent and gets a few world title reigns.But right now I don't know where he fits on the Wrestlemania card.I think the two best options for him would be a match up against Seth Rollins or having him return on RAW and beating Damien Priest for the US Title and having a rematch at Wrestlemania.Think having a really strong mid card title run upon his return would be the way to go working with other main eventers and upper card talents as you build him back up before a showdown at a major PPV against Roman Reigns and taking the title off him finally(think Cody is now the best option to end Reigns over Breakker or Gable now)

I think it would be weird to see Cody back considering the symbolism behind him breaking Triple H’s throne with a sledgehammer. Then again, this is wrestling… at the end of the day it wouldn’t affect me much since I don’t really watch Cody’s matches.

Can't wait to see all the anger at Vince for hiring in an old AEW star to take the spots of more deserving people already in WWE, just because of the circumstances of his arrival.
Surely nobody will hold any double standards or anything like that...

If he did sign, I'd love Cody vs. Finn, gotta go against the bullet club o.g. and I don't care how you get there or make it make sense. But you gotta let Finn be Prince Devitt. Not by name but by attitude.

He’d be a complete ******* idiot if he went back to Vince. First 6 months yeah Vince would let him have what he wants and then BAM mid card nowhere stories like Dolph Ziggler v2.0 until he retires. I hope he just wants a break for a bit to raise his family.

If he did come back, he'd have to go straight to the main-event - even so-called, "needle-mover" Reigns can't claim to have started up a successful, rival company, which has on occasion, beaten WWE in the ratings. He might be somewhat out of his depth as a main-eventer... but if Bobby "boring" Lashley can hold down a main-event slot - while having some of the worst mic ability in living memory, then Rhodes - who can actually cut a promo, or at least, string two sentences together, should be OK. This will be fun to see the fandom roles reversed and everyone losing their minds when he shows up in WWE as if they haven't been dragging him for 3 years We're seeing the opposite with c.m. punk suddenly being "overrated" 😂. The pop for Cody at WrestleMania would be huge, zero question. Despite the small portion that really, really hated him in aew, his segments were always well viewed on the ratings barometer. You've not been around that long, but that's nothing new... Punk has always been "overrated" on here, at some point or another.
