This is CM Punk winning the title at Money in the Bank and leaving the company level of serious, and as I fan I cannot wait to see it unfold. His return to WWE could make wrestling as a whole feel more ambitious, blurring the lines between kayfabe and reality in a way that only a few athletes have done so in the past. Even fan favourites like AJ Styles, Sami Zayn, and Shinsuke Nakamura are ruined due to poor booking and a lack of care from management, leaving them to stew in mediocrity when they could be achieving so much more. Cody Rhodes was a fundamental part of that movement, so returning to the land that once all but forced him out will change how we perceive things forever. He spent years floundering in the mid-card, seldom receiving a push as he was forced to saddle gimmicks that never made effective use of his full potential. While recent times have allowed names like Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins to become legends in their own right, you’d be foolish to compare it to a period when many wrestlers were household names even your parents could freely reference.

Cody Rhodes is a key player in the real-life feud between AEW and WWE, so his return storyline basically writes itself. The latest on the situation came from Sports Illustrated, which is reporting that while his wife Brandi Rhodes will not join the WWE, Cody Rhodes does appear to be officially heading back to his former employers. Cody Rhodes shocked the pro wrestling world when his expired contract actually resulted in his leaving AEW, the rival organization he'd helped found and turn into a heavy viewership competitor as of late.

"Cody and Brandi Rhodes were integral to the launch of All Elite Wrestling," Khan said. Cody and Brandi, the latter of whom also had brief spells of in-ring action, also stars on the TNT reality series Rhodes to the Top. Cody has served as a judge on two seasons of the network's Go-Big Show alongside Rosario Dawson, T-Pain, Jennifer Nettles, Bert Kreischer and, formerly, Snoop Dogg. "Cody's ability combined with his boldness and his passion for our industry and his love for community outreach helped AEW deliver on our mission to give fans what they needed for far too long -- something new, innovative and lasting. Everything pales in comparison to the final contribution I was empowered to lead at the company, the community outreach team. Rhodes, who served as an executive vice president of the company, and his wife Brandi, the promotion's Chief Brand Officer, have been a part of the organization since its inception in January 2019. Cody was an integral component of AEW. The spark of life for AEW was an independent wrestling show, All-In, co-promoted by him and the Young Bucks in association with Ring of Honor. The show was the first non-WWE or WCW professional wrestling event in the U.S. to sell 10,000 tickets since 1993.

Upon their arrival the former WWE Superstars were handed substantial contracts making them among the top, if not the top, earners in the company. This naturally ...

But it’s complicated and there’s not a single factor that plays into this because Cody might have been worth it if he weren’t getting booed and he wasn’t the subject of ridicule online and in buildings and frankly, behind the scenes in various ways.” And he had the good fortune to have Punk and Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole become available to him, but they were expensive. And my understanding is he wanted to be and to a degree that just wasn’t seen by Tony as what he was worth to him in the current landscape. But Danielson and Punk and then Adam Cole to a lesser extent, changed things certainly more than Malakai Black or Miro or Christian changed things. Jericho was a huge boon to the AEW brand at the beginning. Continuing on, Keller said that despite Rhodes wanting a contract similar to those given to Danielson and Punk, he had also lost some of his leverage with the company when they signed.

CODY RHODES has left AEW, along with his wife Brandi, and could be on his way back to WWE.Cody was among they newly-formed promotion's founders as wel.

Cody said: "I have loved my time at AEW. Amazing locker room. Cody shared a lengthy statement of his own in which he thanks Khan as well as a number of AEW wrestlers, such as The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho and more.
