Calling it now. Cody isn't leaving, but his neck tattoo is going to be the 17th entrant in the Royal Rumble.

Cody's obviously not going to be in the Rumble but I could see him working a few indies to perpetuate this idea that he could show up anywhere.
I also get people who think this is all leading to a match with Hangman but then I kind of think Cody needs to win that. Is that good idea? I'm not sure. I'm honestly not sold on Cody being a heel vs. people just genuinely being over him and not wanting him on TV.

It's just crazy to me that they'd keep a title on a guy when he doesn't even have a contract on the books. Can you imagine a major promotion doing such a thing?

Cody making a surprise appearance in Impact or GCW would be pretty crazy.
I'd be really surprised if he makes a Royal Rumble appearance unless he's legit leaving the company. I think people are working themselves up to be disappointed in that regard.

It's insane the amount of folk online that are getting worked by this. They wouldn't have had him win back the TNT title on Christmas day if their was an even 1% chance that he was leaving. This is no doubt to complete the heel turn and challenge Hangman Page for the title Yeah, but I also trust Sapp to know when he's being worked or used to forward a storyline vs. knowing more than the general public about them not getting along. He's got a pretty good track record and is fair to AEW so I'm not sure they'd mess with him, either.

He even had "Kingdom" as his theme song! I can't believe that song is over 5 years old.

Not just Kingdom, but the overdramatic intro to it, too, complete with the chorus and the "Wrestling has more than one royal family" line.

He was right to report accurate information and I fully believe Cody is not under contract at the moment. The key is no one really knows why, including Sapp himself. So it could be a "work" in the sense that it's being done for publicity but I fully believe that it's based in reality.

Meltzer confirmed Cody will be on the show tomorrow and he also is not signed as of yet. Says it’s a storyline that is technically based in reality.

OK, so Cody can't challenge for the World Title.
But can Stardust?

Fuego’s going to turn Sapp into real sapp if he doesn’t stop this nonsense.
