Cody [Rhodes] Signs Exclusive Ring of Honor Contract

It is being reported by WrestlingInc that ‘The American Nightmare’ Cody Rhodes has signed an exclusive contract with Ring of Honor.

Ring of Honor have announced that Cody has been signed to exclusive deal. While the length and terms were not disclosed by either party, “it is the most generous offer in Ring of Honor history and Cody will be in an ROH ring for the next several years.”

Cody had the following to say:

“I grew up in this business, I’ve seen its peaks and valleys. I know we are entering an unprecedented time in pro wrestling/sports entertainment and it’s time to put my flag in the sand. Joe Koff and his team put together such a generous offer… with some non-wrestling projects on the horizon that I hope to announce soon, and the potential of starting a family down the road…it was a perfect fit. Myself, Marty Scurll, Hangman Page, Matt and Nick Jackson…it’s the dream team…like the 1992 dream team. I have several goals in mind for myself and for ROH and I can’t wait to get started.”

ROH General Manager Greg Gilleland would follow this up:

“When Cody first started competing in ROH, we knew we wanted him to be exclusive, but respected his wishes to try out the rest of the industry. Finalizing this deal is another big step in his career and a great step in the continued development of the Ring of Honor brand, delivering the best, real professional wrestling to a rapidly growing and the most passionate fanbase around the world.”

The official contract signing for Cody should air in October on ROH TV.

If you haven’t seen Cody wrestle outside, we highly suggest the following full Wrestle Circus match he had where he defended his ROH Championship.
