Is Cody Rhodes currently en route to Saudi Arabia?

This would be the most obvious line of speculation to pull from a photograph of the former AEW star purported to have been taken at a Polish airport earlier today.

Discovering the photograph on a Polish wrestling group on Facebook, Reddit user u/YogoWafelPL just uploaded it to r/SquaredCircle. Rhodes is pictured alongside a fan whose face has been edited out.

To speculate, it's possible that if this is, indeed, a new photograph, Rhodes may have been in Poland to catch a connecting flight to Saudi Arabia. WWE is scheduled to hold Elimination Chamber 2022 in Jeddah tomorrow evening and with Cody expected to return to the promotion following his AEW departure earlier this week, these lines of thinking match up.

Whether or not WWE and Rhodes have come to an agreement is yet to confirmed. WWE personnel knew of Cody's impending AEW split before it happened, however, and its representatives have reportedly already met with the former AEW EVP over a big-money deal.

The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer reported earlier that Elimination Chamber 2022 will be a night of "twists and turns." Whether or not Rhodes' comeback will be one of them remains to be seen.
