Cody’s best run and program IMO was going against Dustin. The promos, the swagger, the way he carried himself in the match itself, etc. He was perfect. And a power trip heel Cody Rhodes was going to be money, and probably the best thing he could’ve done to cement himself.
I have little doubt he’s going to make more money in WWE. He’s also going to get flavor of the week treatment and get a big initial run, maybe even a title run, then get pushed back down into the mid/upper mid card and stay there. They had something with McIntyre, paired him with Ziggler as his muscle, then finally pushed him at the worst possible time before pushing him back down and he found himself lugging around a dumb sword and feuding with Jinder Mahal.
Cody is a great talent. But other than money, I can’t see what his lógicos going to back to WWE. They didn’t satisfy him the first time, and the landscape is even worse now than it was before he left. Unless you’re Roman Reigns or a legend, you’re not going to get very far. He’ll find himself in an endless feud with the Miz and having to endure Seth Rollins cackles every week to piped in crowd noise.
I Annie Brandi’s belief in herself but she brings literally nothing to any wrestling company as anything more than an interviewer/ring announcer. She’s terrible in the ring, she’s mostly terrible on the mic and has zero upside in any those aspects. Her being taken off AEW TV is a fucking blessing.
