The latest on Cody Rhodes (Patreon)

The latest on Cody Rhodes is that things have been eerily quiet over the past week.

Those in WWE are very specific to say "if Cody Rhodes comes in" and "if Cody Rhodes" pops up and we haven't heard of anyone speaking of plans creatively for him as of yet. That doesn't mean there aren't any, but we haven't heard of them. Last we heard, he wasn't listed on the script for Smackdown tonight, either. Those obviously change a lot. Wrestlers in WWE still believe he's coming in, but have not been given any indication from an official standpoint that it is going to happen.

In All Elite Wrestling, those that we spoke to last week and this week stated that things were "business as usual" and the subject wasn't discussed nearly as much over a quiet week. One source indicated that they believe Tony Khan and Cody Rhodes are still on friendly terms, and don't expect any unsavory comments or reflections to be put forth by either man. Sources in AEW we spoke to said that the particulars had been kept pretty private.

When we reached out to Cody Rhodes last week, the only comment we received was that he's a "stay at home dad now." Those close to him insisted that he was in Orlando to visit friends for a birthday dinner, as opposed to the rumors of him heading to the Performance Center. We've not been able to independently confirm either.
