Cody Rhodes' return to WWE appears to be at a standstill - Reports
It sounds like Cody Rhodes might not be returning to WWE after all.
In recent weeks, it has been widely reported that The American Nightmare's departure from All Elite Wrestling would lead him back to WWE, a company he left in 2016. Now, it sounds like this might not be the case.
According to Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net, Rhodes' talks with WWE have reportedly fizzled out. This means the two sides are at a standstill and The American Nightmare is still a free agent.

Will Cody Rhodes return to All Elite Wrestling to help run Ring of Honor?
With Cody Rhodes seemingly not returning to WWE as initially expected, speculations have already begun about a potential return to All Elite Wrestling.
Haynes spoke to a source who believes there is "hope that Cody can be brought back into the AEW fold."
Tony Khan's recent purchase of Ring of Honor makes Rhodes' potential return to AEW an even stronger possibility. Cody could play a significant role in the promotion that helped him rise to prominence after departing WWE several years ago.
In Ring of Honor, The Young Bucks and Rhodes helped create a massive surge of popularity for The Bullet Club faction in the United States. The promotion also helped solidify Rhodes as a main eventer in the eyes of the fans.
