Cody Rhodes on whether he will bring back Stardust
The WWE Universe is well aware that Cody's last gimmick with the company before he left in 2016 was as Stardust.
The former Intercontinental Champion has never shied away from saying that he was not fond of the gimmick and made it clear upon his return that he will never be going back to it despite all the memes people have put on the internet.
"There wasn't any true guarentees but there was a request. I never want to see Stardust ever again," Rhodes said.
Rhodes said that it was a request that he particularly stressed on his WWE return.
