• Cody Rhodes Is A Free Agent
According to Fightful Select, current TNT Champion Cody Rhodes’ contract with AEW expired last year and he hasn’t signed a new deal yet:
“Cody Rhodes is technically a free agent. Cody’s contract expired at the end of 2021, and he’s been working in All Elite Wrestling without a contract ever since.
Based on sources we followed up with in AEW this morning, we’re told that some have known about this over the past several weeks.”
With that being said, fans have begun speculating that Cody could appear in the Men’s Royal Rumble 2022 match on January 29, since WWE has opened the Forbidden Door.
Speaking of Cody, WWE Hall Of Famer Diamond Dallas Page recently said on Vince Russo’s podcast that Cody would be monster money in WWE now:
“The third guy I bring in is Cody Rhodes, who can talk as good or better than anybody in the business and I think he would be monster money there now. He proved what he had to prove. He did it in a big way, and it would be brilliant of them to sign MJF, Britt (Baker), and him.”
