Cody Rhodes On Joining Bullet Club, His Late Father and WWE vs Indies

Cody Rhodes recently did a interview with Rolling Stone.

The reasons behind his atypical renaissance are myriad, as were the motivations for walking away from WWE earlier this year. Over the course of a wide-ranging conversation, Rhodes offered self-reflection on his new and uncertain journey, how every night on the road is a path toward acceptance of his late father Dusty Rhodes’ passing and his refusal to indulge passé industry jargon. Oh, and that not-insignificant announcement that he’s the latest member of New Japan/Ring of Honor’s wrecking crew, Bullet Club.

Cody Rhodes Officially Announced As New Member Of Bullet Club

After much speculation, The Bullet Club revealed its newest member. Bullet Club leader Kenny Omega made the announcement at the NJPW World Tag Team Finals on Saturday that former WWE superstar Cody Rhodes is the newest member of the faction.

Cody was dubbed “The American Nightmare” and the video package featuring him also indicated that Cody would probably be appearing at Wrestle Kingdom 11. The event takes place at the Tokyo Dome on January 4th.

Cody made his first comments after the reveal on his Twitter with the following post:

SPOILER On The Bullet Club Adding A New Member

SPOILER: If you don’t want to know yet, who is expected to be named as the new member of the Bullet Club, then don’t read this posting:

Kenny Omega has been teasing that a new member of The Bullet Club will be revealed this week, calling the new member “a monster that devours all competition.”

New Japan Pro Wrestling later revealed that the new member would be introduced at the NJPW World Tag League finals on Friday.

The new member to be revealed is Cody Rhodes, according to PWInsider. Rhodes just turned heel at ROH’s Final Battle pay-per-view with a win over Jay Lethal.

Cody Can’t Use The ‘Rhodes’ Name In TNA While Wife Brandi Can, How TNA May Get Around It

As noted, TNA posted a video of Cody Runnels, f.k.a. Cody Rhodes, teasing an appearance for tonight’s Impact Wrestling (most likely a video package since the show was taped).

TNA had also announced earlier this week that Cody’s wife Brandi, f.k.a. Eden in WWE ,had signed with the company and will be wrestling in the Knockouts division. She will be known as Brandi Rhodes, which WWE doesn’t own because she never used that name in WWE. However, as noted, Cody is not able to use the “Rhodes” last name because WWE has it registered. Cody had never used the “Rhodes” name as a wrestler before his WWE run since he started his career with them.

Dave Meltzer had first reported in The Wrestling Observer that Cody and Brandi were scheduled to do a program with Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis in TNA. Meltzer noted in the latest issue of the Observer that while Cody can’t currently use the Rhodes last name, they can bill Cody and Brandi as Cody & Brandi Rhodes for their mixed tag matches, since he will be going by “Cody” on television anyway.

The TNA debut of Cody Rhodes will happen on tonight’s Impact Wrestling. TNA put out a teaser  to hype his first appearance.

TNA tweeted a video Wednesday that doesn’t show Cody’s face, but features a quick shot of his ring tattoo and text which reads, “All roads lead to Impact Wrestling.”

His wife Brandi Rhodes also inked a deal recently to wrestle for TNA, so the move makes senses.

Plus, since asking for his release, Cody has been very vocal about wanting to prove that he can be the superstar WWE never allowed him to be.  Looks like we’ll finally get an opportunity to see that.

Check out the teaser video below:

Former WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes will be seen on TV again in the near future, but not on a wrestling show … he booked a guest starring role on Arrow.

The announcement was made Saturday by Stephen Amell during a joint appearance between he and Rhodes at the Heroes & Villains FanFest in New Jersey.

No details were given on his role … but Amell said the deal was closed yesterday after an audition Cody recently took part in — which Rhodes hinted about in his first post-WWE statement.

Amell and the wrestler formerly known as Stardust wrestled against each other last year at SummerSlam in one of the most impressive celebrity related matches in WWE history.
