Vince McMahon is someone who will get behind any wrestler he thinks can achieve great success. The WWE Chairman has made the career of many wrestlers who he saw potential in.

Currently, Vince is eyeing an unexpected wrestler who was earlier a part of WWE and is a former WWE Intercontinental Champion. That wrestler is none other than former AEW TNT champion Cody Rhodes. Rhodes recently announced his departure from AEW and many believe that he might join WWE. 

Cody Rhodes left WWE in 2016 because of creative differences. After a successful run in the independent circuit, Cody had announced his own PPV ALL-IN, which featured many top wrestlers from the Indie circuit.

Now though as Rhodes has left AEW and there are talks about him joining WWE, Vince McMahon was asked about the same. Recently, Wade Keller of PWTorch talked about how Vince McMahon is planning a high-profile WrestleMania match for Cody Rhodes.

Wade said, “Vince McMahon is going to treat this as a big deal. Everybody I talked to thinks Vince loves the idea of acquiring a co-founder and EVP and, you know, main event wrestler.” (H/t Wrestling Inc)

Wade further said, “He just held their secondary singles title not that long ago, and having him show up on WWE TV is something that Vince is very interested in taking advantage of and making money on it. It could even be a situation where Cody is in a major match at WrestleMania.”

Vince is looking at Cody’s AEW exit as a big thing and is already planning something big. It is being widely reported that Cody Rhodes is in talks with WWE about a potential comeback. Since Rhodes is not under a non-compete clause with AEW, he is free to appear on WWE TV immediately.

Will Vince McMahon treat Cody Rhodes as a competition in WWE?

It is yet to be confirmed whether Cody Rhodes will sign a WWE contract. Although, many sources have almost confirmed that Cody will return to WWE.

While this is great news for fans, many people are concerned about whether Vince will treat Cody as an employee or a person who created a competition?
