Cody Rhodes made his AEW departure in early 2022 to become the hottest free agent in professional wrestling. WWE has been running after him for the past few weeks, hoping to get him on board for a big match at Wrestlemania 38. However, he may never appear at the Show of Shows, as per the contradictory update.
Ringside News was prematurely informed that “Cody, as of an hour ago, still on internal documents for WrestleMania. No other information available.”
A couple of days later, the same source noted that “Cody is off any internal documents.” Amongst multiple updates, the reliable source noted how the ex AEW Superstar is no longer listed as a part of the show.

Cody Rhodes has to make a decision regarding WWE
It’s been noted that talks are ongoing between WWE and Cody Rhodes. However, it’s yet to be seen whether anything happens regarding the former Intercontinental Champion. This coming Monday is being seen as a key date. The American Nightmare has been rumored to make a return to the WWE with big promises coming from Vince McMahon but it’s his decision whether he would love to make a return or not.
Cody Rhodes last wrestled on AEW TV on the January 26th episode of Dynamite where she dropped the TNT title to Sammy Guevara. After the match, he addressed his status with the company with a promo.
“There’s so many elephants in the room,” Cody Rhodes stated. “I’m working here without a contract. I’m not even on payroll anymore. I’m working here on a handshake deal, that is 100% legitimate.”
“But I can tell you this, I’ve never felt more at home than under those lights, wrestling for the TNT Title, a title that will never, ever be secondary because of matches like that.”
