How Vince McMahon Got Cody Rhodes To Sign With WWE

Vince McMahon flying to Cody Rhodes to get him to sign with WWE was an unprecedented move that had never been done before, and we should be thankful that it went well! Clip from my appearance on Lightweights w/ Joe Vulpis #wwe #wrestling #codyrhodes

Vince had good ideas, great ideas, and bad ones, his influence on the wrestling industry will never be matched

[myhandlewastaken]

That was Vince's last great contribution to WWE. Like many others, it was legendary.

For Cody to come back and not have a SINGLE THING about his gimmick/character changed is unprecedented. Vince said “this is what we want, in it’s entirety.”

Now we can finally call a member of the Rhodes family a champion, damn the story was finished, now Cody Rhodes has a task at hand to win the United States Championship in order to cement his legacy as a Grandslam champion in WWE

[jacobburnette]

It's even crazier when you remember that Cody Rhodes actually sued WWE to gain the rights to Dusty Rhodes name so WWE could not make money off of it anymore then I believe it was only like a year later that Cody Rhodes went back to WWE and gave them full rights to the name again

[shawnmichaels]

I still remember watching the return live, Just chills.

Bobby Lashley, " Vince McMahon had the ability to see a star that would represent his company "

[arteezybabyrage]

Cody was a top guy in AEW but a star in WWE. It's insane how he went from basically a midcard jobber to the indies then back to WWE as a megastar. The guy literally built his career back up from zero. He deserves the spot he's in right now.

[Imranjeet]

Yeah it is a big one when Cody Rhodes makes a return at WrestleMania pure goosebumps.

[CrazyGamebino]

If it was because of hunter it would have been a surprise but the fact that it was vince himself was not an answer a majority of people familiar with how he views and treats competition especially wrestlers from said competition would have expected

[JackChambers]

Trafficking a woman to Brock Lesnar to get him to come back was pretty wild

[themoe]

Wow Vince flying to see Cody that crazy I never heard Vince ever doing that. That huge though wow.

[theragoooverlord]

Cody Rhodes returning at WM was the biggest level up I have seen.

[alternative]

Personally it's Vince promoting Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks on their YouTube channel in 2018.

[jshudo]

It’s still crazy how he came back to WWE while keeping his AEW look, and was STILL able to keep his AEW ENTRANCE THEME. Oh and it also HAPPENED to be at Wrestlemania.

[MidNightSnowFawl]

Huge for Cody.... Blessed him working with bloodline

[turnupthesun]

Imagine if he was like “Cody… pal…. I think you’ve got another great run in you…. As Stardust….”

[anakinflair]

Not sure if it would count in this instance, but making good with the Ultimate Warrior was pretty big. And done at the perfect moment, as if they had waited any longer, it never would have happened.

[sainiman]

Vince McMahon see money in Cody Rhodes he knew Cody became star on his own now its time to make him mega star

[jzuany]

That was really crazy and amazing. Its like if Vince would have tried to bring back Hulk Hogan in the 90's from WCW.
