Bombshell from the halls of WWE!
Cody Rhodes, one of the most beloved and controversial wrestlers of the moment, could be about to return sooner than anyone expected. After his historic loss to John Cena at WrestleMania 41, where he lost the World Championship after 378 days as champion, Cody disappeared from view. Nothing on social media. Nothing on RAW. Nothing on SmackDown. The silence was absolute… until now.
A section on WWE’s official website has set off all the alarms: Cody Rhodes appears listed for the SmackDown episode on May 16 , right after the Backlash 2025 event. Although WWE has not officially confirmed it, fans are convinced that this is a real leak and not a simple mistake.
Why this return now? According to inside sources, WWE wants to relaunch Rhodes’ story as a kind of “resurrection of the fallen hero,” and pit him against Cena or even Randy Orton, who has been gaining prominence in recent weeks. There are even rumors that there could be a triple threat between the three at SummerSlam.
Cody’s return wouldn’t be just for revenge. Some speculate he’d come with a different attitude: more aggressive, less cordial, and willing to do anything to regain his throne. This change could mark a complete evolution of Rhodes’ character, now darker and willing to cross any line.
WWE has yet to make any official announcement, but the fact that his name appears linked to SmackDown right after Backlash doesn’t seem like a coincidence. And at SUPLEX SAGA, we bring you the video with all the leaked details and the strongest theories about this possible return.
