As noted, Cody Rhodes revealed on his personal Twitter account that he has requested his release from WWE. This may be unrelated but PWInsider reports that Cody and brother Goldust left this past Tuesday’s WWE SmackDown tapings before they began filming.
Cody’s wife Eden (Brandi Rhodes) has been teasing career changes on her Twitter for more than a month. Below are comments from her, Stephen Amell and the recently-released Kyle Edwards (Arda Ocal) on Cody’s announcement:

Thinking of my good friend @PrinceCGR today. Whatever's next, he will excel. Cody: Thanks for taking me on a grand adventure!
