WWE gets Cody Rhodes and Brandi. AEW gets Keith Lee. fair exchange. Keith wasn't a literal cornerstone of the company. Booked properly, he could have become one. |

Brandi would look GOODT in those. Many years ago, someone in a photoshop thread had Darth Vader covered in yellow polka dots telling Cody Rhodes (as Luke Skywalker) that he was his real father. If someone here remembers that, I would love to see that one again. |

My guess is he’s going to be somewhere between Nakamura and AJ.
A consistent part of WWE TV who will occasionally be in the title picture. Maybe even a run or two with it.
Overall, a well-paid semi-retirement.

Either delusional asshole heel who thinks he’s above everyone now and can waltz back into a top spot or gritty veteran babyface returning to make up for unfinished business and reach the top of the company this time, similar to Drew McIntyre’s arc I guess.
As long as he’s a clear face or heel and not this terrible shades of grey thing he’s been for the past year or so.

Vince had Jarrett come back in his 1995 gear & Kevin Nash billed as 'Diesel' on his return.
To Vince, Cody will come right back to the spot he left.

Vince had Jarrett come back in his 1995 gear Which is odd seeing as Jarret left with the edgier slapnuts gimmick...but perhaps Vince did'nt want to associate him with the character that flowed seemlessly into WCW and led to a few world title reigns (also helped that Russo guided that character in both instances) Cody never won the world title in AEW, and was more comfortable with a ceiling, so maybe that'll appeal to Vince's existing value of him. |

Step 1: Give Cody polka dots. Rename Brandi "Emerald." Make in ring debut against Greg Valentine.
Step 2: Give different wrestlers 80's gimmicks. Rick Boogs starts loving Honky Tonk. Happy Corbin starts using his money to purchase very expensive things as there's always a price with Moss playing the role of Sherri. King Xavier turns heel and Kofi plays the role of Sherri. Harland debuts on the main roster as an evil prison guard (because I can't think of any other wrestler to fit the build).
Step 3: Relive the feuds of his father's past.
Step 4: Have 60 minutes barnburners with Charlotte Flair because why not?
Step 5: Final match is teaching with adopted son Boa Rhodes in a losing effort that sees the end of Cody's full-time in-ring career.
Step 6: Join AEW as booker and join NWO style stable managing Scott Hall's son.

By all accounts Vince hate people comfortable with a ceiling. He also hates people that wanna break the ceiling too  |

Keep Kingdom, keep his whole shtick, see if WWE fans take to him and then go accordingly with face or heel. Bring him in BIG, don't do that "cool you off for 6-12 months before we do a kinda crap different version of the stuff you got more popular for outside of here" shit. Make him in the main event right away, make him the adrenaline (in my soul) shot the roster desperately needs.

Keeps the same gimmick of taking shots at HHH, leading to him getting squashed by Hunter at Wrestlemania. Not particularly what I would do, but that's my bet what they WILL do to him if he returns. Triple H pins Cody when his heart explodes and he falls on top of him. Excellent prediction Hmm, now do you think when his heart explodes that that will be what knocks Cody out, like a concussion blast, or do you think it'll come after the Pedigree🤔 |

If he actually goes to WWE, this will be bigger than Bischoff’s wwe debut. But I think he should have his first match at mania against either AJ, Edge (maybe Edge/Beth), or Rollins. Have him either dethrone Reigns eventually or dethrone Rollins for the wwe title. Definitely do the Orton storyline at some point (maybe even him being the one he wins the wwe title from). But yeah this is a win-win for pro wrestling. Cody has nothing to lose here. If Vince f***s with him he can always go back to the company he helped start
