Cody Rhodes addresses rumors about his contractual status with AEW

As previously noted, it was reported by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com that Cody Rhodes’s contract with AEW expired at the end of 2021 and he is technically a free agent.

AEW uploaded an interview with Cody that took place following his loss to Sammy Guevara on the Beach Break edition of AEW Dynamite. Here is what Cody had to say about his contractual status with the company…
