Why Cody Rhodes Will Choose to Re-Sign With WWE Instead of Tony Khan’s AEW

Cody Rhodes returned to WWE last year in 2022. Following his return, he has experienced a meteoric rise in the promotion (minus the period he had to take a hiatus because of a torn peck.) He headlined this year’s WrestleMania and was close to becoming the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion.

His popularity has skyrocketed in the previous year, and he has become a fan favorite. But now his contract is nearing its expiration date. So will he choose to remain in the company or return to his old AEW promotion and work under Tony Khan again? The chances are that he will resign from WWE and work under Triple H. Here’s why.

Money will play a big factor in Cody Rhodes’ decision to stay with WWE

Over the last year, ‘The American Nightmare’ has become very popular among the fans. His return to Royal Rumble this year proved to be extremely beneficial for the Stamford-based company as the promotion capitalized on the profit to a greater extent. Thus, WWE will do everything in its power to hold him back at the company.

According to Sean Ross Sapp, WWE is expected to re-sign Rhodes to a long-term contract soon. The promotion will surely offer him more money for his new contract, as they have added it to their priority list, given his immense influence on the crowd. In addition, WWE has big plans for ‘The American Nightmare’.

Rhodes is potentially the next face of WWE

WWE didn’t let Rhodes finish his story this year at WrestleMania 39. Fans believe that there is a strong reason behind it as Reigns is still the face of WWE. But with rumors of him taking a break from wrestling swirling around, the WWE Universe highly believes that the next face of WWE is going to be the 38-year-old superstar.

As we are heading towards WrestleMania 40, Rhodes is among the superstars who are at the top of the list to challenge ‘The Big Dog’ at WWE’s biggest PLE. Many believe the Stamford-based promotion has big plans for ‘The American Nightmare’ in the upcoming months, which have already been set in motion.

Let’s not forget that he and the AEW President had a fallout after both parties failed to reach terms on a new contract in 2022. After analyzing all these factors, the conclusion points toward Rhodes choosing to stay with WWE and re-signing a new deal with the promotion. Do you also think he will re-sign with WWE?
