In case you didn’t know…
Cody Rhodes, whose real name is Cody Runnels, performed for WWE from 2006 until his departure from the company last year.
The 31-year old has dabbled in several other notable promotions since, including ROH (Ring Of Honor), NJPW (New Japan Pro Wrestling), and Impact Wrestling.
The heart of the matter
Cody Rhodes had words of high praise for WWE veteran Kane, stating:
He also asserted that everyone in this business mattered and deserved to be treated with the same respect that one would accord to Vince McMahon. Rhodes also said that fewer people have been critical of his work ever since he left WWE. He stated:
Furthermore, Rhodes claimed that the WWE didn’t give him the opportunities that he deserved, besides insinuating that although there was a lot of negativity on social media directed at him initially, the fans had later begun to acknowledge him as a talented performer.

What’s next?
Cody presently competes on the independent professional wrestling circuit. No plans for a potential Cody Rhodes WWE return are on the cards…for now.
Author’s take
Cody Rhodes is an excellent technician and has started to come into his own in his tenure outside the WWE.
The man clearly wasn’t satisfied with how his WWE run steered off course toward the end, but regardless, in my opinion, I see him making a return to the world’s premier pro-wrestling organisation down the road.
