Cody Rhodes has just left AEW, so what could be next for him?
We’ll also see what’s the latest on Stone Cold Steve Austin wrestling, and what Brock
Lesnar had to say
Let’s start things off with Cody Rhodes’ departure from AEW
We have seen quite a lot of WWE departures over the last few years, but Cody Rhodes is
really the first time AEW has lost a major star
Everyone knows Cody’s history in WWE
Everything started off strong, but started to get a bit directionless towards the end
of his WWE run, especially everything StarDust related
Cody was released from WWE and a few years later, the concept of AEW was brought to life
Cody wasn’t just an ordinary talent that AEW signed, he played a crucial role in the
overall creation of AEW
Tony Khan had the funds for the entire operation, but Cody Rhodes was basically right up there
was one of the founding members as well
Rhodes served as an executive vice president of the company, and his wife Brandi, served
as the Chief Brand Officer.
They both had these roles in the organization since its inception in January 2019.
So when talk came out about Cody’s contract expiring, a lot of fans just brushed it off
because it foolish to imagine Cody Rhodes leaving something that he helped create and
bring to life
AEW was created to finally give fans and pro wrestlers another option besides WWE
WWE had a monopoly on the wrestling scene for nearly two decades until AEW came around
and made things a bit more interesting
And one of the driving forces behind AEW since the very start was Cody Rhodes
So no one really paid any attention to Cody’s contract situation, but it was announced by
AEW and Cody Rhodes that he is in fact legitimately leaving the company, and that’s when it
caught everyone’s attention
Cody said his goodbyes and released a statement about how much fun he had being a part of
AEW
Tony Khan also released a statement thanking Cody and Brandi for everything they’ve done
for AEW
So Cody and Brandi are officially free agents
And it’s something you thought you may never hear again, but reports claim that WWE is
expected to make a strong offer to Cody Rhodes for him to return to the company
That line right there just blew everyone’s mind, someone who was one of the main pieces
of the creation of AEW is now rumored to be making a WWE return
Reports claim that if WWE is able to land Cody Rhodes, that he would be presented in
a major fashion and treated like a big deal
What has been a big part of AEW over these last few years?
It was the mystery signings and big debuts.
They always have these constant surprises of new free agents
So if WWE signs Cody Rhodes, this will be the first time that they can have this big
signing and reveal moment of a former AEW star
Fans are already running wild with speculation on Cody’s usage in WWE
Fans want him to appear at Wrestlemania and even be an opponent for someone like Seth
Rollins
Hopefully there’s just some sort of plan and direction in mind if WWE does pull this
signing off of Cody and maybe even Brandi as well
WWE has gone after popular wrestling couples before such as Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis,
as well as Kross and Scarlett, but they never really did anything with them
So if they do land Cody and Brandi, hopefully it’s a big return and great story for them
right away
But keep an eye on Cody’s situation because a WWE return actually has a shot of happening
for Cody Rhodes

Speaking of insane Wrestlemania surprises, that brings us to the Stone Cold Steve Austin
rumors
So we’re seeing a story start to unfold right now on Raw with Kevin Owens
Sonya Deville and Adam Pearce have been telling Owens that he may not have a match at Wrestlemania
38, which is in Dallas, Texas
Kevin Owens has now started to do some promos that are all aimed at the state of Texas
He’s talking about how much he doesn’t like Texas and how he’s glad to not have
a match at Wrestlemania because it means that he doesn’t have to compete in Texas
Reports claim that Kevin Owens’ issues with Texas is allegedly setup for his Wrestlemania
story with Stone Cold Steve Austin
Stone Cold Steve Austin is expected to be at Wrestlemania 38 and play a major role in
the show, that has been reported for several months now
But the big update to those reports is that not only is it a big role for Stone Cold,
but reports now claim that it can even be an actual match between Stone Cold Steve Austin
and Kevin Owens
Which is right up there with the Cody Rhodes rumors of just being bizarre and being something
we thought we may never hear again
Stone Cold hasn’t wrestled a single match since 2003, he’s gotten physical, he has
stunned people over the years, but hasn’t really had a match ever since
Stone Cold is an all time great, but you’re talking about someone who hasn’t wrestled
in nearly 20 years and is now 57 years old, how exactly will they handle this match if
it was to happen?
Well maybe you can make it a short match similar to The Rock versus Erick Rowan from Wrestlemania
32
The match starts, Kevin Owens gets stunned, and Austin goes for the pin?
Something like that to keep his physicality limited and protected, but then again, you
don’t really want Kevin Owens losing in just a few seconds at Wrestlemania either,
that may hurt his momentum
But it’s definitely intriguing, if we don’t get that actual match between Steve Austin
and Kevin Owens, we should still expect them to interact with each other in some big way
at Wrestlemania

Brock Lesnar made an extremely rare interview appearance on Pat’s show recently, so let’s
dive into everything brock had to say because he made a lot of big reveals during that interview
Brock said that he started wrestling at the age of 5.
He said that his family didn’t really watch TV so he didn’t watch any wrestling shows
growing up, but would just do it as a passion
Brock said that he first came into contact with pro-wrestling shows in college since
Raw and Nitro were always on in the dorms
Brock was then recruited by the university of Minnesota and started receiving several
calls from WWE, which led to his WWE career
Brock also said that he grew up with a simple life on a farm, so when he got a bit more
money, he wanted to go back to that life and give farming another try
He said he now has a fully functioning farm with over 5000 acres and great employees
He also opened up about his anxiety with large crowds.
Despite Brock Lesnar going out there and looking as cool as could be, he said that he really
does crash every time he’s in front of large audiences and how it takes him several days
to recover from that large crowd anxiety
Brock Lesnar was also asked about how long he plans to keep wrestling and he jokingly
answered how he’ll keep going as long as the dollar bills are coming in
But he said that he’s having fun.
He said that he doesn’t have to do this anymore, but he’s doing it cause he wants
to
So it was great rare look at what Brock Lesnar is really like and for him to share so many
stories
Brock Lesnar is a major part of WWE television right now and will main event another Wrestlemania
this year against Roman Reigns
We’ll see if Brock Lesnar is the one to put an end to Roman Reigns’ universal title
reign
