• Why WWE Didn’t Go With Cody Rhodes As A Surprise Entrant In The 2023 Royal Rumble
Cody Rhodes will return to WWE programming by entering the Men’s Royal Rumble 2023 match.
WWE didn’t keep his return a surprise and announced it ahead of time.
According to Wrestlevotes, here’s the reason behind this move:
“Asked a source the reasoning behind Cody’s Rumble return being announced as opposed to a surprise…
Source said it’s twofold, one being that nearly everyone expected it to happen already & two, source states they are ‘more than pleased’ with the other surprises that are lined up.”

Alex Wright defeated Bobby Eaton
WCW World Tag Team Championship: Harlem Heat (c) defeated Stars & Stripes
