Cody Rhodes is down for a match against Daniel Bryan

Last Friday night (June 23), former WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes won Ring of Honor (ROH)’s World title. A bevy of his old co-workers took to social media to congratulate him, including SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan.

Bryan is, of course, currently retired from in-ring competition due to medical tests pointing out some severe health risks should he wrestle. The former WWE and ROH World champ is also fond of hinting he might comeback any way when he’s free of his WWE obligations.

Congratulating Cody on his accomplishments was one of those times DB chose to drop a hint.

Rhodes told Sports Illustrated that, while he didn’t take Bryan’s offer a match next September as a serious thing, he’s open to it. There’s too much money to be made not to be...

I don’t think it was a challenge, just fun.

Daniel Bryan remains one of my friends. “Final Countdown” [The Europe song Bryan used as entrance music in ROH and on the indies] would be a welcomed tune, even as a competitor. I have always looked up to Dan. It would be major, major box office for all involved.

I know I’d pay to see it. Let’s start saving up for Sept. 28, 2018.
