Cody Rhodes’ Return Reportedly Won’t Be A Surprise

As noted on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, WWE began to hype up the pending return of Cody Rhodes, who has been sidelined for the past several months with a pectoral injury. Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer reports that the creative direction for Rhodes’ return ahead of WrestleMania 39 is not expected to be any sort of surprise.

Many speculated that his return could come in the form of a surprise return at the Royal Rumble. However, Meltzer notes it’s “absolutely” not going to be. Meltzer touted WWE’s multi-part series documenting Rhodes’ return, signaling that he’ll be put into a high spot on the WrestleMania card.
