Cody: Bullet Club members committed to taking next step together

While the future of Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega remains uncertain, it seems that they plan on sticking together.

During a conference call to promote the Starrcast convention during All In weekend earlier today, Cody was asked a question about what could be next for All In after the first show on September 1. Cody said that he wasn’t sure, but that he and other members within the Bullet Club are verbally committed to one another going forward.

“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 wrestling, where I have verbally committed to the Bucks, Kenny Omega, Hangman Page,” he said. “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.”

Matt Jackson later seemed to comment on Cody’s comments, tweeting the word “pact”.

When asked about a second All In show on Observer radio recently, Cody seemed to indicate that he and The Young Bucks would stick together, but wasn’t sure as to what the future would hold for them.
