  • Cody Rhodes’ Split From WWE “Not Amicable,” Details On Vince & HHH’s Involvement

    Cody Rhodes requested his release from WWE this week, and has reportedly left the company on bad terms. Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that the split was “not amicable,” and indicated that WWE is going to try to prevent him for working for another wrestling company as long as they’re legally able to.

    Meltzer reported that WWE is “kind of putting the screws to” Rhodes, who wrote on Twitter that he had “pleaded with WWE creative” to drop the Stardust character so he could go by his real name again. Apparently WWE did plan on dropping the Stardust gimmick around WrestleMania 32, but Vince McMahon and Triple H decided not to. Meltzer says “it was more Vince McMahon on this one” than Triple H.

    Since he quit, Rhodes may be held to the remaining length of his contract before he’s permitted to work elsewhere.
