Its been 3 years, Shad is sick of his stupid kid wasting all this money. Suddenly AEW is "aware of their salary cap". What probably happened is Shad told him to turn a profit or grow up already

If Cody didn’t want to turn in AEW, he probably wouldn’t have to. In WWE, he’s going to be at the whims of Vince McMahon. He’s giving up his charity-friendly spot, essentially.

I’m not saying he’s NOT going to do all these things. But there’s more to the story than “WWE pays well” or “Tony won’t let me book.” There’s some real bruising here.
Yeah Cody was sick of busting his ass and a creepy manchild taking all the credit, i'd be pissed too. Shame that with Brandi being gone, that is one less minority in management Tony Khan can point to and say "See I am not racist, I hired this black lady! Please praise me!!!!!!"

Yeah I can’t see him making bank in WWE. He’s just lost his bargaining power; he can’t play one off against the other.

There’s lots of talk about Cody and his dad’s legacy, which is understandable, but you can see why Tony would be annoyed by a reluctance to go heel; it’s Cody’s natural disposition. Remember when he inducted Dusty, most likely the first time people saw him on TV, he came across with a natural heel presence even then. He’s not Dusty, he’s a born heel. That’s the role he should be in, and I’d bet that by being the best heel he can be he’ll eventually go babyface in the eyes of the fans anyway.

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.

I was financially if they’d been better off as a package with AEW giving Brandi a role/salary, than with Cody going to WWE by himself.

Also, don’t forget it wasn’t just Ziggler they paired McIntyre with, he had an alliance with Corbin, and then was muscle for Shane “Best In The World” McMahon before they did anything with him as a singles guy proper.

And then her buddied around with Keith Lee, who they did fuck all with, and Sheamus, who’s been repackaged more times than I can count. Then ended his run as the top babyface to the fucking Miz.

Note that I think about it, it’s amazing to me that Ziggler, Sheamus are still there well after their peaks doing the same fucking song and dance they’ve been doing for the past decade. Jesus Christ you have people who have grown you watching theses guys not realizing that staying with an org that fucking long would’ve been lunacy to think of 20 years ago.

Because they don’t want to send the message that the path to financial success is leaving the WWE and getting a money mark to open up the wallet and pay to play.

How much do you think Cody was making in AEW? Keep in mind Chris Jericho is making more money with AEW than he’s ever made in his career. Cody Rhodes would maybe be a bit behind that on the talent scale (not factoring in his executive deal). He’d be at least $1 million per year, maybe more. Do you really think the WWE is offering him Randy Orton money? Why would Randy Orton not leave?

Matt Riddle’s current deal is said to be for $400k a year. The WWE going out of their way to pay lower-carders $500k was blown up when they worked out AEW was no threat. They released everyone on those deals and now $400k is “rising star” money.

Vince is a genius. He cuts like 30 midcarders that AEW signs, and now Tony can't afford to keep the guy who is basically the founder. Massive embarrassment for Tony Khan. Can't WAIT until Brandi says something and Tony has yet another public meltdown

weird turn of events. Cody is the backbone of AEW. Doesn't really say much about the company if he just takes off 3 years after he founded it . But I guess money talks even if you'll just be a midcarder again. I guess the IC Title needs some fresh life lol

That’s definitely a very real strategy. Let a bunch of people go and flood the scene. Either AEW picks up too many losers or fans start getting frustrated at the pick-and-choose. It’s also possible that other promotions can benefit. And the longer AEW goes in, the more confident WWE get with their releases and how much smaller their offered deals are.

Sheamus is really good. It’s interesting though, because I just don’t find him captivating. I think it’s his promos or whatever around the wrestling, or just the era he is from. A dude his size doing what he does is no doubt impressive.

I saw snippets of him vs. Cesaro from SmackDown a few weeks back. Holy fuck they work well together. Just let them go out there and have a series for the IC Title or something.

Bad take.

The Inconsequential Championship scene is doing great. They just got done pushing the champ strong on TV with wins in tag team matches. Now it’s on Sami Zayn who’s getting some mainstream shine by being involved with Johnny Knoxville.

Here's my honest guess on how I see Cody's WWE run going:

He debuts in a week or two and launches into a WrestleMania program with someone who matters but doesn't matter so much that Cody couldn't win. Realistically that only rules out Reigns/Lesnar (who are fighting each other), Orton (who I can't imagine being booked to lose to Cody right out of the gate plus he'll likely be tied up with Riddle), Lashley, and maybe Drew McIntyre.

So of everyone left I'd say the two most likely choices are Seth Rollins and AJ Styles. Seth was rumored to feud with Shane so Cody could be Shane's replacement unless they're gonna push Austin Theory into that spot. Styles would be a good smark-bait type of match in line with Styles/Nakamura a few years ago.

Anyway, Cody wins at Mania. I'd guess he's assigned to Raw but as we know the brand split barely matters and I think he could actually be ticketed for a program with Roman centered on the whole Bloodline thing. Helps raise Cody's profile by working with THE guy, and for Roman it either gives him another opponent to face to extend his extremely long reign, or gives him a rebound program after finally dropping it at Mania. Either way, Cody obviously loses this program because he's Cody and Roman is Roman.

After that program's settled I'd guess he gets a strong showing in the Money in the Bank ladder match, but doesn't win it. And from there he settles into contending for one of the secondary titles at SummerSlam.

Somewhere around here is where I think he starts feeling like just another guy, possibly leading to a reinvention of one of his old characters (Dashing Cody, Grotesque Cody, Stardust etc) or maybe something new. Cody's been on record many times about not being happy being saddled with gimmicks for long periods of time, so he refused to do anything like this in AEW. But honestly it's what he excels at, and maybe he'll embrace it this time around. I like the guy but he feels like a much better supporting actor than he is a leading man.

Cody's run will go the way ALL things do in WWE:

Hot Start, 6 months later will be 'kind of boring/just another guy who isn't Roman/Brock'
(6 months is very generous of me)

The one thing is he’ll get his WrestleMania moment (ughhhh) which likely explains the timing of this switch. Coulda done it a while back (hasn’t been under contract for a bit) but this gives them less time to fuck him before mania and Vince will still be looking at him as a new (old) toy.

Gotta respect the move on Cody’s part in that sense.

Cody vs. The Miz is too easy to set up. I’d be quite surprised if that isn’t the match. I think AJ will wrestle Shawn Michaels. If they don’t dig that deep for names, maybe Finn Balor or Bobby Lashley. I don’t think Cody is shooting to the top of that card.
