This is what Meltzer had to say about the Cody story:
Okay, this is the situation Almost everyone is avoiding me today there, so either it's true and they are all mad it's out or it's a work and they don't want to lie to me.
One person near the top told me they thought it was a publicity stunt but stressed they didn't know for sure. But one would think if it was a big story internally they would know. But that's the only person who would even talk to me today.
Remember as far as technical goes. If there was a new contract offered starting this year, Cody has not been there. If they expected to ratify it on 1/5, he was to be there, came to Newark, got the call and flew home before going to the building and hasn't been back. I know the health reason within his family was legit. So Sapp's story could be correct, I'm guessing it is, but that's the situation.
If he's not there Wednesday it's a story.

If you checked BTE it seemed that Avalon got written off the show he looks like he is gone...

(preface: I'm def not an expert on TV deals lol)
Don't think Cody's going anywhere because Rhodes To The Top is probably held together by a spiderweb of terms, conditions, and agreements that would make Cody just up and leaving an absolute mess for a whole lot of people. Like much much moreso than if he didn't have a TV show.

Cynical me assumes this "Will Cody sign a new contract???" game is a reality show storyline and/or an intentional distraction from actual talents' expiring deals to try and avoid the negative buzz WWE gets during their roster cullings.

Which...I mean, I've seen enough dummies on Twitter to know that a bunch of people would find the two comparable. So I guess I can buy it in that it's to avoid people making an ass of themselves?

Anyone think this is only smoke and mirrors? I mean, he'll definitely re-sign. They're probably just trying to figure out how they want to use it for his presentation going forward.

I really hope we see more people jumping between companies.
That 'OMG, what are they doing here' thing really used to get me pumped back in the day.
I know we should really think more about the talent and their needs and wants, but I also want excitement as a viewer and some ship jumping would help that.

Didnt Cody say a few weeks ago something like "getting ready to go on a ride that’s just bizarre and it’s not the path that you think. We’re not doing what’s been done before"?

So the story Cody is going to do that has never been done before is being an EVP of the #2 promotion while wrestling for the #1.
Hey, if you have a foot in both doors you can never lose!!!

Considering all the current info, my actual best bet right now would be - Cody couldn't put pen to paper because of COVID and they decided to do something with it as an angle which will play out this week.

They could try to play it up and somewhat undercut the excitement for the Rumble by having people think Cody is going to appear at the Rumble and then he doesn’t.
