#1. Hope is true: WWE's possible plans for Cody Rhodes' return date

Cody Rhodes to WWE seemed to be impossible only last year, but in February 2022, it could be a reality. He became a huge star outside after leaving the company and making a name for himself in the independent scene and various wrestling promotions.

AEW seemed to be the perfect home for him, but his contract ran out. After reportedly losing creative control, Rhodes took the bold move of potentially moving back to his former employer.

While it may seem surreal, all signs are pointing to Cody Rhodes' return to WWE. Sports Illustrated reported that there is the possibility of Rhodes making his return on the RAW after WrestleMania:

"As for what happens next with Cody, it’s important to remember that this is the pro wrestling business. Were this part of a major swerve—a modern-day Brian Pillman duping WCW to sign with WWE—and Rhodes remains with AEW, it would be a massive story. But that is extremely unlikely. Every indication is that his next destination is WWE, potentially even as soon as filming segments at the Performance Center this weekend. And while Rhodes would add value to this year’s WrestleMania, he would also be a major reveal on the Raw immediately following ’Mania," Justin Barrasso reported.

We hope this is true because while it would be nice to see Cody Rhodes get a match at WrestleMania, the RAW after the show is important.

After an underwhelming episode of the red brand after WrestleMania 37, there needs to be a big moment this year. The return of The American Nightmare is as big as it gets right now.
