As we reported earlier today, Cody Rhodes (aka Stardust) has officially requested his release from WWE, where he has performed for the last nine years. PWInsider.com also noted that both Cody and his brother Goldust left the WWE Smackdown television tapings early this week, before filming began. Whether or not they were booked for the show or their early departure had anything to do with Cody’s requested release remains to be seen.
Both Arrow star Stephen Amell and Cody’s wife Brandi (aka Eden) took to Twitter to offer their support.
Thinking of my good friend @PrinceCGR today. Whatever’s next, he will excel. Cody: Thanks for taking me on a grand adventure!
