On Saturday, Beijing time, the long-rumored return of Cody Rhodes to WWE was finally settled, according to the news given by a number of well-known wrestling media, Cody Rhodes has officially signed a return contract with WWE, which will return in "Wrestling Mania 38".
Since the news of Cody Rhodes' return to WWE was announced, many wrestling fans have expressed their views on this matter, paying attention to the evaluation of netizens, which can be said to be mixed, some optimistic, some bearish.
In fact, for many wrestling fans, they are still living in the age of stars, and they think that The return of Cody Rhodes to WWE must not set off any storms. Today we'll also briefly discuss the important implications of Cody Rhodes' return to WWE.
1. Is the ability to play too rough? Cody smiled and didn't speak
Most of the wrestling fans who are not optimistic about Cody Rhodes' return to WWE are still because their concept of his time in the WWE stars is too deep, so they think that the vice president of Cody is a comedy star, and the wrestling technique is very general.
But since leaving WWE, Cody Rhodes has proven himself capable of playing through countless fantastic games.
One of the most commonly heard comments about Cody Rhodes is that the regular race is like that, and it depends on selling blood as a highlight.
Indeed, during his three years at AEW, Cody Rhodes was often bleeding profusely in matches, the most famous of which was the showdown between him and his brother Dustin Rhodes, which has been called one of the bloodiest races in AEW history...
In fact, in the history of WWE, such players have not appeared, such as Randy Orton is one of the typical players who became famous for their explosive blood in the early stages.
But compared to big brother Randy, Cody's ability to play is better, even to the next level.
Here's a little bit of a piece of knowledge: So far Cody Rhodes has played two five-star matches, even one more than the "legendary master" AJ Stiles.
Although in the eyes of many people, won's five-star game does not represent anything, but at least it can be used as a reference tool. It can be seen that Cody's ability to play is not bad, and it is not as bad as in some populations.
2. Smash the heavy gold to sign back, the savior of the old mai came
We have also analyzed for you before, cody Rhodes return to WWE, for Vince McMan, it can be said that the pros outweigh the disadvantages!
First of all, Cody Rhodes's connections in the wrestling world, some of the best young players in AEW today, including MJF, Wardler, Ricky Stax, Martin Jr., etc., all of whom have a very good relationship with Cody Rhodes. If Cody can take them to AEW, why not bring WWE?
Second, Cody Rhodes' philosophy of professional wrestling is closer to Vince McMan's. As one of the founders of AEW, Cody Rhodes has always wanted to make AEW a second WWE.
But that idea was opposed by Tony Khan and three other vice presidents, as Kenny and the Brothers were both independent players who wanted to build a purely professional wrestling company, which also led to the current AEW plot.
In contrast, several plots of the vice president of the section in AEW, whether it is a grudge with Maraque Blake, or the plot of the late "American Nightmare Turning Against", etc., are relatively saturated. It is not difficult to find that the deputy general manager of the section has a better grasp of the plot than the other three vice presidents.
So the most interesting thing about professional wrestling was born: HHH wanted to build WWE in the direction of AEW; and Cody Rhodes wanted to build AEW in the direction of WWE. For Old Mai, compared to the good horse HHH, it is Cody and his wrestling philosophy that is more in line.
Not only that, according to the foreign media previously given, Cody Rhodes' contract annual salary for returning to WWE is not a small number, and it may even directly help him become one of the highest salaried people in WWE. This is more of a reflection of the value of Cody Rhodes, after all, old Mai should still know more about wrestling than some wrestling fans.
3. Losing a vice president? AEW and WWE win-win
As we said above, Cody Rhodes joining WWE will have a very big impact on AEW. So are these effects all negative? Not......
Cody Rhodes is definitely one of the most popular top stars in wrestling today, and he is also the most non-negligible presence of AEW. If returning to WWE, Tony Khan could use Cody's fame at AEW to draw another wave of popularity for his league.
And as we've reported earlier: since All of Kodi Rhodes' powers at the AEW have been stripped away by Tony Khan, it has also led to an awkward situation for him backstage in the AEW.
Coupled with the refusal of Cody Rhodes to cooperate during the contract renewal period in the later period, the relationship between Kodi and Khan can be said to be very tense. So for Tony Khan, keeping a vice president who is dissatisfied with himself is undoubtedly raising tigers.
In my opinion, Tony Khan had even long anticipated that Cody's next home would be WWE. After all, with Cody's character and old Mai's eyes, guessing his future return to WWE is not a difficult thing for a businessman like Khan.
And things unfolded as he had suspected, starting with Cody Rhodes announcing his departure from the AEW. The next day, foreign media began to announce the return of former AEW vice president Cody Rhodes to WWE, which undoubtedly brought attention to themselves, and the purpose was achieved.
So, Cody Rhodes' departure from AEW to return to WWE is a pro for both wrestling leagues.
That's my personal opinion on The return of Cody Rhodes to WWE, as it stands, the return of Vice President Ko to WWE is already a foregone conclusion, and as for what interesting things will happen in the professional wrestling world next, only time will tell us the answer.
