For weeks now the wrestling world has been buzzing about Cody Rhodes as it was heavily rumored that he would be returning to WWE at WrestleMania 38. Well the rumors turned out to be true as Cody made his big return on Saturday and defeated Seth Rollins.
Details regarding Cody’s return were kept very quiet in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania, and when Cody was asked during an interview with The Ringer who was the first person he called after signing his new WWE deal he noted that he kept the information close to the chest.
“Nobody. The real ones, the OGs knew [I was coming back]. The one guy who had a hard time not being told was Kevin Owens. I was just wanted to keep it quiet, keep it on the low.
“I didn’t even tell Randy [Orton], I haven’t even seen Randy. I heard he’s a really good guy. It blows my mind. This guy threw a dynamite stick in a lobby in Mexico the first week I met him. Now, he’s a family man? What the hell are we doing? I didn’t tell anyone, I kept it very limited. Only Randy knew, my mom knew, maybe a few others.
“My cousin works here as a timekeeper, and even he didn’t know. It was the best-kept secret in wrestling but I really wanted to keep everything low-key. WrestleMania is the one time you don’t know what’s happening, and won’t know until you see it. Like when Bryan Danielson won the title at WrestleMania 30, you knew he was going to, but had to wait until the end of the night to see it.”
It was recently reported that Cody Rhodes will be working as a babyface moving forward, and he will be part of the Raw brand. Stay tuned for updates.
