– As noted, Cody Rhodes revealed via his personal Twitter that he has requested his release from WWE. While no WWE Superstars have commented as of this writing, former WWE announcer Kyle Edwards (Arda Ocal) gave Cody props and Stardust rival Stephen Amell also weighed in, which was re-tweeted by Cody’s wife Eden.

Thinking of my good friend @PrinceCGR today. Whatever’s next, he will excel. Cody: Thanks for taking me on a grand adventure!— Stephen Amell (@StephenAmell) May 21, 2016
– This may be unrelated but PWInsider reports that Cody and brother Goldust left Tuesday’s WWE SmackDown tapings before they began filming.
Cody’s wife Brandi, known to WWE fans as Eden, has been teasing big news and career happenings on her Twitter for several weeks now. She re-tweeted supportive comments from Stephen Amell earlier today but also wrote the following, an apparent reference to her husband’s announcement:
Could not be any prouder or more supportive. ??
