Details On Cody Rhodes’ Free Agency, AEW News

Cody Rhodes is a free agent.

Fightful Select has learned that the current AEW TNT Champion Cody Rhodes is technically a free agent. Cody’s contract expired at the end of 2021, and he’s been working in All Elite Wrestling without a contract ever since.

Based on sources we followed up with in AEW this morning, we’re told that some have known about this over the past several weeks.

In speaking with Sports Illustrated recently, Cody stated “As of now, my future is with AEW,” he says. “AEW would be very strange without the core members of the revolution. We all still talk. We all have this admiration for each other. I can’t see myself anywhere else, and I’m very optimistic about what the future holds.”

In addition, we’ve heard there were some originally reported contract lengths in AEW that differed from what they actually were. We’ll work to clear some of those up as best we can in the coming weeks.

We’ve reached out to Cody for comment, but we’ve not heard back. AEW officials noted recently when we inquired that they won’t discuss the contract status of talent. We’ve also inquired in the week that followed about any updates, but haven’t heard any besides that AEW officials expect Rhodes around for quite some time.
