What if Cody Rhodes returns to WWE?

Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes may be the hottest name in independent wrestling. But what if he comes back to WWE?

#1 An NWA Crossover

Cody Rhodes wouldn't be the first man to bring the NWA's ten pounds of gold to WWE.

At All In, Cody Rhodes pinned Nick Aldis to be crowned the National Wrestling Alliance Worlds Heavyweight Champion. There’s no guarantee he will have a long reign, and the odds are that he would drop that title before going back to WWE.

It would take some major wheeling and dealing, but if Cody were to carry the ten pounds of gold into WWE, it actually wouldn’t be the first time a wrestler had done so, as Ric Flair’s “Real World Champion” gimmick from 1991 was based on exactly that premise.

It’s doubtful that WWE would want to give the current NWA that kind of exposure, or that Billy Corgan and the NWA would necessarily want to get in bed with WWE. If anyone could broker a mutually beneficial deal, though, Cody may be uniquely equipped to do so.

He’s not only a star, but a guy who has coordinated interpromotional collaboration before, not to mention that he just might have the leverage in WWE contract negotiations to make something unconventional happen.
