Jumping ships isn’t the easiest in the pro-wrestling industry especially if it’s from WWE to AEW and back to WWE. Now, recently, Cody Rhodes teased a possible WWE return, but it was more of a fan-assumption.

However, he may have revealed exactly what the situation is for him at the moment. He showed off his retirement life and it’s creating cherished memories with his daughter, Liberty.

It doesn’t seem like Rhodes is actually coming back to WWE regardless of what the fans thought. Some believed he wouldn’t make a move to WWE, but to other promotions such as New Japan Pro-Wrestling or IMPACT, but the man has other ideas.

Now, he is beginning a new chapter of his life which mostly revolves around his daughter.
