With the recent reports that Cody Rhodes has been working without a contract with All Elite Wrestling in 2022, Tony Khan and AEW have released a statement on the future of the company with the Rhodes in it.
Cody, alongside Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, were integral in creating the modern wrestling climate. This includes AEW, where all four were EVP’s from day one. Since requesting his release from WWE in 2015, Cody has become one of the industry’s biggest names. The former IWGP United States Champion, NWA World Champion, Ring of Honor World Champion and three-time AEW TNT Champion has been vital in building the All Elite brand. Cody and his wife Brandi also currently star in TNT Reality Television Series ‘Rhodes to the Top.’
There have been reports throughout the morning that a reunion with WWE, where he is a six-time Tag Team Champion and two-time Intercontinental Champion, has been gaining steam.
