Cody Rhodes Teases Stardust Gimmick Return At WrestleMania XL With Bizarre Move During Pat McAfee Show

If there is one thing fans know about Cody Rhodes, it is that he gives 110% to the company and hates Stardust. The gimmick that made Rhodes leave the WWE in 2016 is a controversial topic. While half the fans believe it allowed Rhodes to experiment and be larger than life, the other half believe the comedy gimmick destroyed his career in the company. However, ahead of WrestleMania XL and the biggest match of his life, he hinted at a possible return to the gimmick.

Prior to showing up on WWE SmackDown to save Jey Uso from The Bloodline, Rhodes was on the Pat McAfee show. While he discussed some important topics, he did something near the end that intrigued the fans.

WrestleMania XL will see Rhodes and Seth Rollins team up to face Roman Reigns and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson on Night#1. Following this, on Night #2, Rhodes faces Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship. After a year-long wait, Rhodes is finally on the verge of completing his story. Nevertheless, after his Pat McAfee interview, he busted out his Stardust moves, leaving fans wondering why.

As he thanked the panel of speakers on the show, Rhodes walked down and did a cartwheel followed by his Stardust hand gesture. Even McAfee was shocked to see this despite the pop from the live crowd. This led to fans going online to discuss what implications this could have at Mania.

While fans debated whether they would see Stardust return at Mania, some had another idea. One lingering plot thread many haven’t caught on is the possible return of his brother Goldust during the title match.

Could Cody Rhodes hitting the Stardust taunt hint at Goldust’s return?

During  Rhodes’ feud with The Rock, Rhodes’ half-brother Dustin Rhodes, a.k.a. Goldust, took to social media to support his brother. Despite being in AEW, Dustin has posted about Cody’s feud with The Bloodline. This got fans’ attention for a possible Rhodes brothers reunion to take down The Bloodline at Mania.

While the possibilities for how the final match could go down are endless, fans would explode if Goldust returned to save his brother from The Bloodline. Many fans connected the dots that this little gesture on the McAfee show was a hint for things to come. What did you make of Rhodes pulling out the Stardust move? Tell us your thoughts below.
