Cody Rhodes, the inaugural AEW TNT Champion, is no longer a part of the All Elite Wrestling promotion. It’s been a week since his departure, but the former AEW star’s next move is still unknown.

However, Pat McAfee of WWE SmackDown may have spilled the beans. As ‘Dashing’ Rhodes was also a former WWE Superstar, many still assume that Rhodes should move back to the WWE.

Pat McAfee has hinted at a possible WWE return for Cody Rhodes. On the latest edition of The Pat McAfee Show, McAfee said, “I guess Cody Rhodes is coming to the WWE. I guess, who cares, dude, you know? Him and his little friends, they started something; it was terrible. We actually went head to head with them on Wednesdays; we beat em’ a couple of different times. Who cares? The hell with Cody Rhodes!”

The SmackDown commentator and the other guest laughed at the joke about ‘Dashing’ Rhodes. However, he quickly escalated from the gag and told the audience that he was ‘pumped’ for Cody Rhodes’ potential return.

“I’m actually pretty pumped if Cody is coming back. Obviously a massive name in sports entertainment. If he’s coming to SmackDown, I’m excited about it,” Pat McAfee added.

Cody Rhodes back in the Stardust uniform?

McAfee seemed to leak a whisper that was going around all week since the former AEW star’s departure. The WWE broadcaster believes that Rhodes’s coming back to the WWE will be a ‘cool’ thing.

The blue brand commentator also added if ‘Dashing’ Cody is coming back to the WWE, he should adapt his popular gimmick ‘Stardust.’
