During a media call today to promote All In, Cody Rhodes revealed that he, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks and Hangman Page have made a “verbal commitment” to each other that “the next step we take, we’re going to take it together and we’re going to take it as a family.”
Here’s what Cody had to say… Transcript via PWInsider:
“As far as what’s next, I really wish I could answer. A lot has happened in the last few weeks. A lot of discussions about the future. One thing that’s special about this, and I have to be rather cagey in answering, one thing that is special about this group is we have verbally committed to each other and I don’t know that that’s ever been done in the history of professional wrestling, where I have verbally committed to the Bucks, the Bucks, Kenny Omega, Hangman Page. There’s this verbal commitment that the next step we take because it’s no secret. Our contracts are all up… what happens next? The next step we take, we’re going to take it together and we’re going to take it as a family. It could be the dumbest move ever. Wrestling is sorta a shady business or we can do what my gut tells me, the right call.”
Cody and The Young Bucks’ contracts with Ring of Honor expire at the end of this year and Kenny Omega’s contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling expires in January 2019. Page’s contract also likely expires around the same time, given Cody’s comments.
After a turbulent 2017 between the Bullet Club and WWE, they have recently warmed up to each other. The Bullet Club have indicated that they’re open to signing with WWE and WWE obviously would like to sign them away from ROH and NJPW, especially considering their recent successes selling out big shows (All In and MSG).
