Cody Rhodes Implies His Time With ROH Is Coming to an End + He’s Done With Bullet Club

On Instagram, in a post about the NWA, Cody Rhodes posted, “As I begin a transition to a new role in pro-wrestling, I hope all the fans who’ve discovered the NWA recently stay on board and continue to watch the likes of Nick Aldis, Avalon, Willie Mack, Jazz and many more. As I continue my remaining dates with the good folks at ROH, I’d like to thank them and the NWA for allowing me to cross imaginary lines and give the fans something special!”

Cody’s ROH contract expires at the end of this year and there has obviously been a lot of speculation about where he, the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Adam Page and others are headed next. Cody has said in the past that he and his “Elite” friends will be “sticking together” wherever they end up going. It’s also unclear what he means by “transition to a new role in pro wrestling.”

It’s never pleasant losing a match, not to mention losing a title. However, last night in Nashville was the largest gross in Fairgrounds history(topped the TNA “asylum” 02-04 run, HOFers Dream & Jeff somehow 💛) and I know a great deal of folks traveled far-and-wide to be there. That’s not missed on me. Southern rasslin’ and the cities that host it don’t often get that “buzz” like they should and it felt like the days of old last night. THANK YOU to all those who attended and watched live on FITE. THANK YOU to all those who attended the meet/greet(we earned several thousand dollars that I’ll be donating to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation! Still waiting on final numbers). As I begin a transition to a new role in pro-wrestling, I hope all the fans who’ve discovered the NWA recently…stay on board and continue to watch the likes of Nick Aldis, Avalon, Willie Mack, Jazz and many more. As I continue my remaining dates with the good folks at ROH, I’d like to thank them and The NWA for allowing me to cross imaginary lines and give the fans something special! -CR

On Twitter, Cody also nonchalantly implied that he’s done with the Bullet Club, saying that it’s “Jay’s thing now,” referring to Jay White, who joined the Bullet Club OG on October 8 at NJPW King of Pro-Wrestling.

The Bullet Club is all Jay’s thing now. Loved being part of it! Met some good folks. https://t.co/lEn7E8X4af

Cody, the Young Bucks and other “Bullet Club Elite” members said a couple of weeks ago that they will no longer be selling Bullet Club-affiliated shirts. The reason is reportedly because NJPW owns the “Bullet Club” name and the wrestlers want to market shirts with “intellectual property” that is not owned by a promotion (and especially one where they may not be wrestling at in a couple of months).

This will be my final Bullet Club affiliated shirt(and it’s my favorite one)! https://t.co/i97frjV0fw pic.twitter.com/y1teCNHtEy

Update: Cody added this tweet later:

Is it?

It’s weird folks are struggling with this. The last major njpw show featured a segment showcasing the new BC and I wasnt in it. This ain’t a mystery. I am 100% not in the bullet club, 100% the bullet club is awesome and will continue/thrive.
