It’s official – Cody Rhodes has returned to WWE.
During Saturday night’s WrestleMania 38 (Night One) pay-per-view event, Seth Rollins came out for his mystery opponent, which turned out to be none other than former AEW EVP Cody Rhodes. Of course, Rhodes and his wife Brandi left All Elite Wrestling several months ago and there have been rumors since then that Cody would be returning to WWE.
As you’d expect, Rhodes received a massive pop from the fans inside AT&T Stadium in Dallas, TX.
