Could WWE Be Interested In Signing Cody And The Young Bucks After The ALL IN Event Sold Out?
Cody (Rhodes) and The Young Bucks' upcoming All In event sold out in a matter of minutes, and now rumor has it that WWE might be interested in capitalizing on the star-power of the Bullet Club members...
Since leaving WWE, Cody (Rhodes) has been tearing it up on the independent scene in the likes of ROH and NJPW as the leader of The Bullet Club, and the recent news that the All In event sold out within 10 minutes just goes to show how much of a draw the faction has become.
Something like that is always going to make waves, and we're hearing that WWE has taken notice of the type of star-power that sells out arenas in record time.
During a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, F4WOnline's Dave Meltzer suggested that Vince McMahon will be keeping a very close eye on Cody and The Young Bucks, specifically.
"The reason [indie wrestling] got so strong is because it is a star-driven business. If that star power leaves, if they get hurt, if the go to WWE and there’s no replacements it could make a big difference.
Some of these guys are not easily replaceable as far as the star power goes. WWE’s going to be after all of them. So that’s the situation. I’ll tell you what as far as Cody and The Young Bucks go, I don’t know how long Cody’s contract is but obviously the Young Bucks’ contract ends at the end of this year.”
Of course, even if WWE was looking to sign The Bucks and resign Cody, that doesn't mean the guys would have any interest in joining the company.
At any rate, this may just be pure speculation from Meltzer so best not to pay too much attention until we hear more.
