Fightful Select is reporting that WWE has engaged in negotiations with Cody Rhodes for a multi-year contract extension with the company.
Based on the report, WWE is attempting to lock down the popular performer in a lucrative, long-term deal.
As noted, WWE has recently re-signed Rey Mysterio, Dominik Mysterio, Charlotte Flair and Bayley to lengthy contract extensions in recent weeks.
