I don’t see WWE offering him much more than they would any other upper mid-carder. They don’t want to blow their whole scheme out of whack. Tony didn’t want to do that either, but that’s the downside to offering Punk and Danielson huge deals and not having proper metrics to justify it. At this point, why SHOULDN’T Cody get as much as Punk? And once you do that, you’ve got to do the same for Omega and The Bucks.

This is why Vince McMahon canceled Bret Hart’s giant WWF contract in 1997. It wasn’t because he couldn’t pay Bret. It was because he couldn’t afford to pay Bret…and Shawn…and Taker…and Austin.

But Cody could have kept working there if he wanted, on a non-exclusive deal or something. He’s leaving because he wants to leave. That’s probably more ego and vision than anything. Money compounds it.
