Cody Rhodes on Vince McMahon’s WWE Return Offer: “That’s a Lot of Money… I Shouldn’t Have Said That”

TLDR

Cody Rhodes revealed details about his WWE return meeting with Vince McMahon on The Undertaker's "Six Feet Under" podcast, explaining that McMahon personally flew to meet with him and wrote a contract offer on paper rather than saying the number out loud. Rhodes admitted he immediately responded "Well, that's a lot of money" after seeing the figure, then regretted saying it because "there could have been more." He described the negotiation as feeling like "a gangster move" and said what ultimately convinced him to return wasn't the money but hearing the word "opportunity."
