Cody Rhodes Teases "The Big Guy" Returning To WWE

Just a hunch, but we don't think WWE Champ Cody Rhodes is talking about Ryback!

There's been a ton of rumour and conversation about The Rock possibly returning to WWE screens on Saturday night's Bad Blood show. Many fans seem to think the 'Final Boss' will make his presence felt, but others reckon it'd be odd if Triple H splurged a huge comeback like that on what's essentially a 'B' level pay-per-view.

Cody Rhodes and Pat McAfee added fuel to the fire by posting a post-podcast discussion between them on socials. Via Instagram, Cody shared footage of him having a chat about "the big guy" with McAfee. Pat asked, "So the big guy's coming back this week, huh?".

Replying without blinking, Rhodes answered: "Which one?".

When McAfee then said Cody had told him all he needed to know without saying it, the WWE Champ laughed and replied: "A lot happening. Too much happening!".

'The Big Guy' was Ryback's nickname during his WWE days, but let's eh...go out on a limb and guess he won't be launching a company comeback during Saturday's tag match. Rusev is another name on fan lips, but Rock would make the most sense within the context of The Bloodline's story.

Either that or McAfee and Rhodes were simply having fun with everyone. That's possible too.
