Cody Rhodes’ WWE Return Criticized For Lacking Surprise Factor

Cody Rhodes and his wife Brandi left AEW back in February. Since then, a lot of discussions were had about their next pro wrestling destination. Cody Rhodes’ WWE return was also criticized for lacking a surprise factor.

The American Nightmare had an extravagant entrance prior to his WrestleMania 38 match. He duked it out with Seth Rollins in a solid 20-minute matchup that fans certainly enjoyed.

Many fans had already assumed beforehand that Rhodes would make his way to WWE as well. While speaking with WrestlingInc, Gangrel criticized Cody Rhodes’ WWE return for lacking a surprise factor.

“Everybody has got to know something, and everybody knows this and that, so there’s no surprise moments. Definitely, I believe that mystery is missing in it, and that magic, suspense, and surprise of things. Because everybody speculated he was coming, that Cody Rhodes was coming over, you can’t hide anything anymore when it’s publicly traded companies. Everything is bound to get out, but I miss that, it hurts wrestling, the fans like me. I like to be surprised, I want to watch something and not guess the outcome.”
