Cody Rhodes was recently interviewed by Dan Lovranksi to promote his appearance for SMASH wrestling in Etobicoke, Ontario. During the interview he spoke on various topics including the current state of TNA, the Stardust character and much more. One of the biggest questions he was asked was if he ever saw himself returning to the WWE.
Here is what he said:
“I don’t know, I don’t think the door to WWE ever closes. I’m always been told that the revolving door – you know, it’s a tricky question because there were a lot of genuinely large issues for me personally that it would be hypocritical for me to just go back, they would need to be fixed. We don’t have to get into all of those but that’s something I’ve wrestled with, whenever somebody, anybody says would you ever go back – the fans dictate what we do to begin with so if the fans wanted me back, that’s not something I would not consider but I made all my decisions and they were really tough decisions for the reasons given so the last thing you want to do is be a huge hypocrite and show back up unless there was a damn good reason” (Source: Fight Network).

He continued:
“With that said, there’s plenty of good reasons. They do a really good job of honouring my father and it is strange, kind of like how we began the conversation, it is strange to be on the outside of that. It’s not just strange for me, it’s strange for them. Believe me, there’s various texts back and forth about it, that’s why there’s no reason to say anything negative right now about my name because this month, I look at it like this is about my dad, the tag tournament and these youngsters, they’re not youngsters, some of them might be older than me. These NXT talent, these stars going for the Dusty Classic and that’s what needs to take the focus. That’s kind of why I have been hush-hush about the name” (Source: Fight Network).

Let us know what you think of his comments below. Do you ever see him coming back to the WWE?
I suspect he’ll return around 18 months or so.
