Backstage News On Why WWE And Cody Rhodes Have Had Recent Discussions
WWE officials and Cody Rhodes have had talks over the last few days.
There's been discussion within WWE about singing Rhodes to some kind of deal similar to the company's Legends deals, according to PWInsider. This would allow WWE to release merchandise and other items with Cody's likeness.
It's possible that WWE had merchandise planned for Stardust, perhaps through a third-party like Mattel, and are offering Cody a deal so they can legally move forward with the plans.
