Dave Meltzer thinks that the American NIghtmare Cody Rhodes will not only sign with WWE but will face the Visionary Seth Rollins at the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania.

According to Meltzer, the plan right now is very much for the former AEW TNT champion to be back with WWE and in action at WrestleMania 38 next month.

Speaking on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer stated, “Yeah, he’s (Cody Rhodes) coming. I mean, that’s it. He’s coming, he’s wrestling Seth at WrestleMania unless something changes, and I don’t expect… I sure watched this [Raw] not thinking anything’s changing.”

There is widespread speculation about how Rhodes’ comeback will be and Meltzer floated the idea of a surprise appearance, similar to the return of the Hardy Boyz at Wrestlemania 33 which blew the roof off the place and went down in history as one of the most iconic Wrestlemania moments.

Will Cody Rhodes’ return match that of the Hardy Boyz?

“How they do it, I think they may end up doing the Hardys thing, where you know they’re coming but they don’t announce it, and they get the big pop, they show up the day of the show. They may be doing that one. But they’ve played up so big, Seth Rollins and WrestleMania. Again, he didn’t do an angle with anybody else, there’s nobody left. It’s not like they downplayed him because he’s not on the card, which is what you do in this scenario if someone’s not on the card. You downplay them because you’ve got so many people that you’ve got to get over for WrestleMania, so yeah, I think it’s pretty obvious what’s going on. When it’s going to be announced, or even if it will be announced… but it’s a big part of the show now, Seth Rollins and WrestleMania.”

Cody and his wife Brandi departed AEW last month. The rumour mill started working overtime as soon as the news of the pair’s departure broke. While WWE is said to have no interest in bringing Brandi back into the fold, there is significant interest in a return for Cody.
