What does WWE RAW returning to TV-14 mean for Cody Rhodes?

The American Nightmare was one of the Executive Vice Presidents for All Elite Wrestling, which uses the TV-14 rating. As such, the use of profanity and blood is more common in the promotion than it is in WWE today.

RAW returning to TV-14 means fans might get edgier characters and perhaps stars such as Cody Rhodes might begin blading during matches. While the red brand will reportedly be going through a shift in programming, there have been no reports of SmackDown, which airs on FOX, doing the same thing.

The American Nightmare has been out of action since defeating Seth Rolins at WWE Hell in a Cell last month. He tore his pec before the bout, and he underwent surgery to repair it.

Many fans are hopeful that he will return in time for next year's Royal Rumble match. Rhodes has consistently mentioned that a major reason why he returned to WWE was to capture a world title in the company. Making a comeback at next year's Rumble would definitely be the first step in accomplishing that goal.
