The chance of Cody Rhodes signing with WWE has gone from a “sure thing” to “very uncertain,” according to Dave Meltzer.
“Create was told last night [about] a change in Cody’s status from sure thing to uncertain,” Meltzer posted yesterday on the Wrestling Observer message board.
He elaborated a bit on Wrestling Observer Radio: “His status has changed in theory. He was on the books in WWE. They had creative laid out for him. They still thought on Friday that they had creative laid out for him. And now it’s very uncertain. They don’t know what’s going on with Cody Rhodes. They’re not sure. So we’ll have to see how that plays out, but it’s up in the air. They don’t know. They thought they had him and now, it’s not like it’s dead, it’s not like they think they don’t have him, but they’re not sure.”
Cody announced last month, along with Brandi Rhodes, that he was leaving AEW.
