5 WWE storyline ideas that were rejected

#4 Cody Rhodes and Stardust could have been on separate brands

Vince McMahon apparently didn't like the idea

Since leaving WWE in May 2016, Cody Rhodes’ career has gone from strength to strength and he is currently preparing to challenge Nick Aldis for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship at the ground-breaking 'All In' event in September.

However, things could have worked out very differently if major plans for a 2016 storyline had gone ahead.

The former Intercontinental champion told 107.7 The Bone in California that there was an idea for him to work on both Raw and SmackDown – performing as Cody on one show and Stardust on the other – and he “absolutely wanted to do it”.

The majority of the creative team were in favour of the storyline, except for one person who Cody didn’t name but said “has the main vote”, presumably referring to Vince McMahon.
