WWE is interested in extending another contract, and it’s a major one.

Sources have confirmed to Fightful that WWE has been engaged in talks with Cody Rhodes about a multi-year contract extension. Based on what we’re told, WWE is trying to lock him down long term. Of late, WWE has extended the contracts of Bayley, Charlotte Flair, Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio. Rhodes would be a monumental re-signing for the the company. 

We haven’t heard about terms, but everyone we’ve spoken to in the industry expects Cody to get a sizable raise whenever the deal does occur. We’re told that the contract extension is specifically a priority of TKO, and those that we spoke to were confident a deal would get done eventually. 

Cody also ended up getting a new bus around Thanksgiving, which led to some in the company thinking he got a new deal already. However, we’re told it has not yet been finalized.

I know no one else cares but does anyone of D.C. have a bad or collectively?

If I were Tony I would find someway to let Cody know that you would give him the dumbest deal possible to come back to AEW. Give him double what punk had and give him an actual vice president position if he wants it. Or an owning percentage in the company.

Is there a possibility that Drew signed quietly?

I wonder if we are going to get into a situation where the movement is from the lower card because both companies prioritize their money to lockdown their bigger stars?

Hey Sean. What did Cody initially sign for with WWE in terms of years? Just wondering how much time he has left on the current deal.

Very deserving. I always was pessimistic on him during and after leaving aew, but he’s been terrific on this run.

I see this as blackmail. That if he doesn't resign to a big long term deal before mania they screw him again from winning the title.

He resigned in October according to Meltzer.

I'm kind of surprised because unless I'm misremembering, I thought Cody alluded his initial contract was 5 or 6 years.
