5 former superstars the WWE should bring back

#3 Cody Rhodes

Enter c — No more "Stardust" gimmicks...

While on the WWE roster, Cody Rhodes wore many hats and accepted any role tossed in his direction. However, once he began to stand up for himself and decided he wanted some of the say in his creative future, things began to change and his relationship with the company grew toxic.

Cody parted ways with the company in 2016 and since that time, it appears he is having the time of his life. The man is traveling the world on his own terms and winning championships at every stop.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

So why would Cody even want to come back? That is the million dollar question that WWE officials must figure out. WWE needs Cody more than Cody needs WWE. But the WWE Universe would be the real winners if he returned.

Cody has left a huge pile of money on the table with WWE. It's all his for the taking if he decides to come back and finish what his family started.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
