Roman too hot I see another year as Roman champ.
Cody didn't "Go" to AEW. He helped create it.
We all know Cody is an emotional dude. Clearly he made an emotional decision and went back to the company that could have cared less about him until he helped form AEW. I lost respect for the guy. He belongs in WWE.
@@Andrezseventeen17 going to wwe has completely elevated his career. His character was so stale in aew and getting boo’d every week. Now he’s going to become wwe champion. No matter what anyone says, WWE is the bigger stage and it’s not close
Same thing
@@Andrezseventeen17 lol the decision was more strategic than you think, Tony didn’t want to pay Cody what Cody thought he was worth so Cody bet on himself and went to WWE to prove his value, it only took 1-2 months and Cody’s already proven that he’s way more valuable than everyone in AEW besides Punk, MJF and Danielson.
I’d say Tony should feel bad about letting him go but the fact is that Cody is only worth more because he’s in WWE’s system and under their direction, if he stayed in AEW he wouldn’t have been worth the money he wanted😂
@@Andrezseventeen17 what would any wrestler would choose becoming wwe champion or aew champion? Its not that hard specially when TK booked him so bad after first tnt title run
Dusty was never WWE champion so Cody would accomplish something his father never did.
Well Dusty was a 3 time NWA champion, while Cody never won that championship (and no that fake NWA title he won from Nick Aldis 3-4 years ago doesn't count, it's not the same lineage, Corgan's NWA is not the good old NWA of the 50's and 60's and so on).
@@WileECoyoteNHLPA keep telling yourself that
@@jonathanturbide2232 it’s still the NWA and the same belt so he did accomplish something his dad did and he was ROH world champion as well!!!
@@jonathanturbide2232 thats probably the sigle dumbest thing ive heard. Of course its not the 60s nwa just like the wwe isnt the 90s wwf but its still the nwa so yes the lineage is the same
He was NWA World Champ when being a NWA Champ was more important than being WWE Champ sooooo
I think Cody leaving was:
Relationship Or lack of one with the Elite
Bad creative (his and Tony Khans)
The booing of fans towards him and their hate towards Brandi
The arrivals of all the former WWE Talent that outshined him and got paid well
That the young bucks buddies were getting more air time than his Nightmare Factory guys
AEW is dogshit. He realized that.
Cody said that the Elite was not the reason why he left AEW
@@sebastiansalinas3915 that may be true but he is also a guy who is political so he may be saying that to not start a Twitter battle also. If anyone knows what riles up the Bucks, it would be Cody
I was one of those dummies who thought Cody was playing 4 D chess by trying to be a heel and working us all into thinking he's actually trying to be booed. Turns out he was indeed trying too hard to be a babyface
@@sebastiansalinas3915 because absolutely no one has ever lied.
Cody back in WWE was bound to happen and the timing was there. Plus timing is everything in the biz, hell in life!!
The only thing that could be better than Cody winning the belt at Mania would be him winning the belt in the Garden
In polka dots
Cody explained everything in his final AEW promos. He didn’t want to turn heel. TK wouldn’t give him a raise otherwise. Cody felt it was unfair that CM Punk would get paid more than him, when everything Punk is getting paid for is stuff that Punk only talked about but stuff that Cody actually accomplished
@@fulwhites4748 if cody turned heel and TK didn’t give him a raise i would, but as it stands i don’t. basically they just couldn’t come to an agreement
@Fulwhites I’m sure there was a reason for that, TK seems to want to be very hands on but doesn’t know what he’s doing. I always thought Cody was way better than any of the Elite guys, his matches were more or less flawless.
HHH loved Dusty so beyond the fact Rhodes was heading there anyway it’s got to happen at mania, after the rumble win, the story has written itself.
That all depends on if TRIPLE H has changed his opinion of Cody
He's not. He's only adding to what Vince had on ground already.
Cody is the right guy moving forward especially for business reasons. He ticks off ALL the WWE boxes they look for in a superstar.
HHH knows what's right for business
@@sheriffdraws8789 I'm ngl, I would like to see Cody in that spot vs Roman but the way the story is developing on Smackdown, I really really want it to be Sami Zayn that dethrones Roman. He's on his way to becoming the top baby face in the wwe he should be the guy to do it
I dont know sami and cody and sound too wimpy to beat someone like roman
@@Shikhs16 yall need to really stop trying to make Sami the next Daniel Bryan
@@Shikhs16 The story on smacking is heading towards sami and ko vs uses, not sami vs Roman. They're about to veer Roman off to whatever his Mania feud is gonna be.
Coming back to see this footage, it's amazing Cody Rhodes buzzing right now for the second to main event Wrestlemania with Reigns.
Brian Last said Cody Rhodes would leave AEW to go to WWE a while before it happened.
Who?
@H & D Games jim Cornette's co host on his podcasts. Around wrestling for years. Quite a number of things he's heard from people within AEW about things that's been going on have come true.
fans in wwe love cody now and your see how fickle they are, there turn on him so quickly, it seems everytime the fans have a favorite they want that person to finally get the push, win a big title then boom there boo the hell out of them, remember what happen with liv morgan?
Liv cheated to beat Ronda Rousey as a babyface. The. Came out every week proclaiming that you’d have to kill her to take the title from her then she lost it. 😂
@@Thomas-kp8mo well that's just bad booking than, not her fault
And you know every fans reaction to everything how?
@@danielfryer8768 you can see it all the time on tv, lol. its so common in the modern era that fans will cheer for somone as the underdog and soon as they win the big one they turn on them, daniel bryan called in fickle when he turn heel and was wwe champion. MJF in aew was cheered for months when they tease he may turn face and soon as he won the world title he called them out for being fickle and will turn on you and complain on twitter
Similar to what the AEW fans did with Cody? 🤔
He went away, became the nightmare, came back and stole the show with Seth on multiple occasions. If they don't bring him back in as a top card player then they've completely missed the boat. My only concern is that it's so obvious at this point the occasion is a bit ruined. I prefer to see the unexpected or the organic, this would no longer be either.
I mean, sure, he might have been frustrated creatively in AEW... but his whole persona in AEW was a WWE-taylored guy. He made himself the all-American white meat babyface which didn't work in a space that is rooted in the indie wrestling scene (which is why they booed him for not eventually turning heel as he had in the indies). But people like Vince salivate over that type of persona, and I think that was Cody's intention, to carve his own path in the indies and eventually come back to WWE, from "undesirable to undeniable"... and he did, and his all-American persona is exactly what WWE needed because they haven't had that in a while.
Everyone wants to know why Cody left AEW, my guess is there’s some sort of agreement between Cody and AEW not to discuss it (either verbal or possibly a Non-Disclosure Agreement).
It's an inside job/Cody going undercover to recruit talent and get insider information from WWE to take back with him to AEW. I have a feeling his WWE return is Cody's way of getting back at them all those years they treated him and his family like shit. Cody seems like the type that never forgets, holds grudges and be very vengeful. I could be wrong, but I have a very strong feeling I'm right when I read between the lines.
@@cesarcanete3402
You may be right but to play devil’s advocate with you it’s also possible WWE signed Cody due to his knowledge of the backstage happenings AEW (financial stuff with the company, what guys would want to come to WWE, what they’re making in AEW, when their contracts expire, etc). That’s all stuff Cody knows and is an asset to WWE if they want information like that and are able to obtain it.
@@andrewmachado6988 You could be right too & it makes sense why WWE brought him back, but it could backfire on them. Cody is a very, very intelligent & wise person, so I'm thinking both him & TK are using the dirt sheets & the NDA to pull as fast one on WWE. It's a big business & big business is very cutthroat, manipulative & deceiving. Other things to think about are that both AEW & Cody still follow one another on IG & Cody is still featured in the AEW featured in the AEW fight forever video game. If there are hard feelings towards TK & Cody, then why would they still follow one another on social media & why is Cody still in the video game? All part of the plan: Cody goes to WWE for a while to be a mole for AEW, AEW tanks for 2 - 3 years & recruits talent away from WWE & get all their secrets to take back with him to AEW. TK is filthy, freaking rich to take financially losses for 2 - 3 years, plus he's a sports owner for 2 different sports franchises, so he knows how the game works.
@@cesarcanete3402 but here’s the thing though how could Cody have known he would be treated good and risk EVERYTHING including going through scripted promos(which he hates mind u) be creatively satisfied and go back to being miserable and depressed in WWE if they had not treated him well. You have to remember he was under Vince reign and Vince is known to be this conniving, slippery eel that basically everyone hates and doesn’t trust. There is just no way going into this that Cody is this “mole” considering he risked his happiness and mental health going into the same company that made him miserable and vengeful, there was way more other factors than some crazy mole theory at hands it’s just impossible
@@aloosenpai2038 Didn't Cody return to WWE when Vince was still in charge? Triple H didn't take over until a couple months ago & he may be out again if the reports are true of Vince coming to take back control. Just my theory, perspective & my 2 cents when I read between the lines & connect the dots. I'm just a regular, die hard wrestling fan & pundit just like most of the ppl commenting on here. I could be either wrong or right, but it's just my theory because it makes the most sense to me when I dive deep & put everything together. Maybe I need to get a life & have too much time on my hands idk lol 😂😂😂😂
If Cody wins at Mania - duh, so predictable
If Cody loses at Mania - how could you do this to us???
There is so much riding on that match - if it ever happens
Sometime predictably isn’t bad, things can be predictable becuase they make sense.
Every Star Wars, marvel and James Bond movie is predictable
What do you think of the Cody story now ?
To be clear, everybody knew the day would come where a wrestler would go from AEW to WWE, that was an inevitability. It just wasn’t going to happen for a couple years due to contracts and stuff.
That being said, I don’t think anybody thought the first would be Cody. That’s still crazy to think about.
Cody was the whole reason to watch for awhile along with Jericho
I hope he has it in his contract to be world champion at some point
What do you think happened?
Eric: I don't know.
End of video
Unpopular opinion: I don’t want Cody Rhodes to win the title at wrestlemania. It’s just too predictable. I want him to be wwe champion but not at wrestlemania. Reminds me of when Roman reigns wrestled Brock lesnar at wrestlemania 31 and 34. Everyone went into that match thinking he was gonna win but plans were changed in the last minute.
Correct me if i am Wrong but was there reports and romors that seth is going to win the Royal Rumble and beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 and we all knew that seth beat Brock so ya cody is going to beat roman at WrestleMania 39
Bro you don’t watch WWE all of Roman matches are 100% Predictable
Sounds like you haven’t been watching WWE in the past decade lol even if it’s predictable it’s not always bad. Everyone expected Sami to betray Roman and look at the pop he received.
I don't think it would of been as predictable as if he beats roman at wrestlemania 40 we know if that happens he has to win I feel like wrestlemania 39 was the perfect time he was the most over baby face had the torn pectoral and finishing the story and the royal rumble win I feel everything was lined up that hype can never be duplicated like is cody going to win 2 royal rumbles in a row to fight reigns since their on different brands it's just bad booking
Dustin should win the big one before cody, ( just imo no malice intended) Hes been busting his ass longer and is still as good at his age but never got the credit he deserves
I hope he does get a, any, title at aew. He is worth his weight in gold.
If Cody had never left, he wouldn't be where he is now. Dude risked it all to bet on himself, now look at him. Say what you will about aew (personally I like the show), but you can't deny it increased his value
2023 will be Cody’s year
The set is magnificent
cody going to aew is just like aj style going to wwe , they both are the foundation of aew and tna
I'm guessing that the business relationship between cody and tk probably broke apart was probably the main reason for why he left. Who really knows the real reason but neither cody or tk will talk about it due to the nda that cody probably had to sign
One short answer - the EVPs. Of course nobody says it out loud because they don't wanna be in anyone's bad books, but they're the real cancer backstage.
Made cody leave, refused to drop the titles to FTR, and now the whole thing with punk
No. The EVPs had nothing to do with it. Cody himself has said he's still good friends with them.
Also, the Bucks didn't refuse to drop titles to FTR -- stop making that shit up -- they were transitional champions to Swerve & Keith Lee. The Hardys were supposed to be that, but Jeff got his DUI. I swear, you people are delusional in your hate and deliberately gloss over factual events.
Refused? lol you were there buddy? You say random shit and assume its true why? Cuz random twitter users say so? Man yall so retarded its sad, you know the bucks don’t book the show right?
@@nonechuks6683 Instead of getting hostile, look at the facts. Cody is a professional and political guy. Of course he's not going to say the EVPs were the cause. But you can put 2 and 2 together. Look at the backstage messes they've had since Cody's left. Alot of that was the doing of ineffectual leadership by the supposed EVPs.
Also, yes, the Bucks chose to drop the title to avoid a rubber match with FTR. They've literally buried FTR from the moment they signed. Why is that so insane to believe? There is a track record of them going into business for themselves.
You can agree with the Elite all you want,but stop trying to prevent others from having the freedom to think on their own unbiasedly
@Fulwhites sooo burying FTR since they got to AEW has been a work? I see 🙄. You can't deny the morale backstage has gotten significantly worse since Cody left. Why is it that we are seeing guys like Miro, Andrade and several others requesting their releases? Why are guys that once supported Punk like FTR and Darby Allin being constantly buried to fuck on television? Quit manipulating the narrative and address the actual issues instead of just denying and deflecting everything as "kAyFaBe".
@@roberthiguera2176 My dude, you're so delusional. Bucks never buried FTR -- you're caught up in the kayfabe Dax is keeping alive to make their next match/matches interesting. Bet your ass don't even know Gedo originally wanted Bucks to win the IWGP Tag Titles, but Bucks campaigned for FTR to get them instead at Forbidden Door.
There IS NO TRACK RECORD of them going into business for themselves.
That is some utter bullshit.
I don't care what you hear Cody say it must have been very difficult to walk away from AEW.
What did Bischoff mean when he said that he didn't have any "feel" for Paul 'Triple H' Levesque's Creative?I mean Paul-headed aka Triple H's creative has been doing wonderful job,so I really didn't understand what Bischoff really had wanted to mean to mean by saying that!
It’s not hard to understand
Eric: I have no feel for creative. Oh we know Bish. We know.🤣
Since there’s a lingering rumor that Roman is gonna lose the WWE Title before Mania, I think this is the perfect time for Seth to take it from Roman and keep it warm for Cody when he returns.
More than likely he wanted to get away from the children
@Kurtis Morris yea ok because a wrestler never lies about anything, if he says it you bet your life on it. You Must be a kid
@Kurtis Morris it’s not uncommon for people to sign a contract saying they won’t say anything that reflects badly on the company they leaving
@@Robrt32 do you have any proof? Or are you just speculating cause the fun thing to do on the internet right now is to hate the elite?
@Kurtis Morris Whether it pops up in an employment contract or as part of a separation agreement, a non-disparagement clause-which bars you from saying anything negative about a company to anyone ever again-can be intimidating., google search, get your momma to show you how
@Kurtis Morris I’m pretty sure Punk hadn’t signed a NDA at the scrum but have you noticed he hasn’t said anything since? Chances are he has now. Quit while your ahead before I really make you look dumb
Eric Bischoff is talking about the good creative, how hilarious, coming from the guy that put wcw in the ground
Nice set up
Cody stated that he left AEW due to personal issues. I'm guessing it must've had something to do with his wife Brandi. There were stories that she wasn't well-liked and respected backstage. She also received heavily criticism from fans. Last time, the fans booed the hell out of her when she announced her pregnancy, and also when Dan Lambert cut a promo on her, embarrassing her as well. I'm guessing TK chose not to renew Brandi's contract, which caused Cody not to renew his AEW contract. We all know TK doesn't like confrontation. He just let your contract expired without offering a renewal. Cody probably had a problem with it. It's like saying, "If you're not going to offer my wife a renewal, then I'm not signing a new deal with you guys. Let's see how well you do without us."
You have a studio now??
Eric has no feel on triple H’s creative and you know what? Same here. Idk I had high hopes when he first came on but things seem to be falling back to the same crap as before. Idk.
So he took a billionaires money, bought all his heros, let them walk all over him and drove company into ground and we care about his view?
The fact im talking about eazy E not slow T shows how ridiculous this whole interview is
Cody leaving AEW was the best thing for Cody's career.
Mark Madden (and me but who I’m I?) said all allow that Cody was gonna be the first to leave AEW for WWE so sayin “nobody thought” isn’t true!
Bischoff has no feel for creative..real news...
Cody is over, dude has improved so much these last couple of years. Add to that being Dusty’s son and the AEW factor and you’ve got a hell of a story.
Eric:
“I have his number
We’re friends
I’d like to know what that is”
THEN F’ING ASK HIM
He made the right move, AEW is a train wreck.
Cody Rhodes returned to WWE. I think most people forget sometimes
He was in the indies and signed with impact years before AEW even existed you can literally Google his American nightmare entrance on impact so this thing that he reinvented himself in AEW is bull.
Cody has a huge ego and an even bigger chip in his shoulder. He truly considers himself to be the greatest of his generation and NEEDS the championship for this.
He will win it, because he surely has made it part of his contract, otherwise he wouldn’t have came back.
I'd be reluctant to pull the trigger on Cody as champ until I know what happens with Homelands from The Boyz.
I think the last person you interview is a man that ran WCW out of business for giving too many big contracts. Bad booking. And letting wrestlers do whatever they wanted. After awhile the inmates were running the asylum.
He had to go to AEW to become a bigger star for when he returned to WWE. He had to get that “it” factor to be a main event performer.
U sound retarded
Guys leaving AEW thinks they will get shares in wwe, so they first blackmail Tony khan of leaving AEW for more money and Tony khan just let go to work under wwe and sit on bench
Perfect revenge
The whole reason Cody left in the first place was to reinvent himself and make himself more valuable to WWE. Pretty obvious.
For people who said that cody left AEW beacuse of the elite and CM punk guys he confirmed on Twitter that CM punk and the elite are not the reason why he left AEW
I have a bridge to sell you
@@celtic69 Yeah and the problem wasn't Punk that's for sure. The problem is Tony's and he's stuck with them.
Triple H is doing a real good job right now with running thd company. Doing Better than Vince, cause now it's actually watchable
eric just seems like a bitter know it all cant stand him at all
Ego was the main reason, I suspect.
Triple H is actually doing great... WWE has started making slow progress in the right direction. Eric is just a has been who has trouble giving credit to anyone...
Its one of the Smartest and intelligent decisions Cody made so far especially The way things are going at A.E.W. atm
Things at AEW are great....
Why u think he lost that match that made him not be Abel to challenge for a world title in AEW. Now it will be a huge deal when he wins one. He has been planing this from the start
Cody could win at some point and I think he should but it take time with it. For example, Cody wins the Rumble, beats Reigns for the titles at Mania, does it for his dad and the next night you pull a Dusty finish, null and void the switch and get the title on Reigns. That way you could REALLY get the fans behind Cody while making Reigns an even bigger heel than he already is. Then when the switch finally does happen, it means that much more.
No because it minimizes the actual match he won. Dusty finish would be awful. Wouldn’t mean more just be the pop one time at mania
@@Tumorcoach I disagree. Overall, I think the one thing all fans miss is the fact Cody isn't well known to the current WWE audience. Your average fan doesn't watch AEW or New Japan, they just watch WWE. Cody was there 2 months before he got hurt, he's gonna need more time and more reason to get fans behind them than he already has. That's just a simple fact that fans need to understand. Cody isn't ready to be the #1 guy just because fans want him to be and to be ready for that spot you actually need time to build your character, something Cody hasn't had yet.
Say what you want but a Dusty finish would give your casual fan a reason to care, it would give Cody extra time to build his character with those casual fans and it would make fans hate Roman even more. If Cody just wins at Mania that's great but his title reign will be lackluster and it won't last long. Truth is, I don't care what hardcore fans want because you'll watch any old shit that gets fed to you. That's how it is and that's why you really shouldn't listen to hardcore fans, they're fickle and they aren't as smart as they think they are.
@@Nothereman9999 the casual fan doesn’t even now what a dusty finish is so no it wouldn’t your just wasting a wrestlemania moment. Your idea sayin got get people to care is not true at all. Also he’s one of the top merchandise sellers in the company. Cody can handle being a number one guy he’s presentable, well spoken and reliable. He has the crowd on his side. Dusty finish would just be a stupid concept. Especially since Roman probably won’t be around that often after mania
@@Tumorcoach they don't have to know what a Dusty finish is, they just have to know Cody got screwed out of the title. This ain't about knowing insider terms, it's giving your average fan a reason to care about Cody. It doesn't have to be a Dusty finish but if he just goes out there and beats Reigns at Mania then I guarantee that title reign will fall flatter than Shayna Bayzler's chest.
In fact, we've seen WWE run this very storyline, doing it for family, coming back after a big injury and it NEVER works. I'm just saying, if it wasn't enough for HHH and Cena then it won't be enough for Cody either. You need to give Cody time after injury to re-establish himself with the crowd and if every big star ever needed that (and they did) then so will Cody.
@@Nothereman9999 doesn’t add to anything plus it would just look stupid plain and simple. Like thank god you’re not booking because that idea is just dog shit. That wouldn’t add to his character or make him more over. It’s a horrible storyline after especially since Roman is taking more time off. I guarantee it wouldn’t be flatter. Literally minimizes him. Like what a stupid idea
You mean your acquaintances with Cody Rhodes not friends
Bishop doesn't have a Feel for Triple H's Creative? His company failed after he started booking poorly
Cody was planing on coming back when he left
I don’t either Bischoff, for now.
I truly believe that Cody Rhodes wasn't done wrestling full-time. In AEW as Executive Vice President his hands were tied to being an executive Vice President. Besides Cody's contract is for 2 years. Cody did say that he wants to retire by age 40. He does have his academy. And maybe just maybe he might be back in AEW or just stay in WWE.
He'll be back in AEW. Both him and Brandi. I honestly didn't know that Cody said that he wants to retire by age 40 up until you mentioned it and my theory about Cody going back to WWE is only him going undercover/get insider information on how they're currently running things there. His contract with WWE expires in 2025 right? The year he turns 40? My theory is both him and Brandi will go back to AEW around that time and work full time as executives and steal all the insider information during his 2nd stint with WWE. Cody seems like the type to hold grudges and I have a feeling that this is his way to get back at WWE for doing both him and his family wrong all those years. Call me a crazy, conspiracy theorist, but if that's the case, why do both Cody and AEW still follow each other on IG and why is he still in the AEW Fight forever video game?
He changed his mind. He said he was staying away from absolutes, returning to WWE and all. It's from post WM interview.
@@cesarcanete3402 dude That isn't happening he is happy being back in wwe
You’ll know what it was once he’s done
Cody barring himself for winning the AEW world title was the dumbest thing he could have done. I understand the idea that you don't want the fans to think that you're putting the title on yourself because you have an ego or whatever, but in hindsight, it hasn't hurt Kenny and the Bucks. All he had to do was challenge for the title, but not book himself to win it, if it meant that much to him. Completely writing himself out of the picture made him directionless.
If he was frustrated with creative, he created that problem. And it would be extremely easy to get out of if he was willing to turn heel, cuz he could just say that he's the boss, he makes the rules, and then rip up the contract so he can now challenge for the title. Cody was "controlling his narrative" for lack of a better term, and his narrative fucking sucked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mark detected lmaooo.
He booked himself that way because he didn't need it.
He's about to win the real world title real soon anyway lmaoo
@@sheriffdraws8789 He didn't need it? So you're telling me that Cody had a good run after blocking himself from the world title picture? I definitely loved the Factory stuff. Top quality television. 😂
Even if he didn't "need" it, it absolutely would have helped. Like I said, he never had to win it, but at least being in the picture would have helped.
And say he did turn heel, it wouldn't have even needed to be long. He could have had like a 3 month heel run, where he's desperate to win the world championship. He finally wins it, but is soon dissatisfied with it because he doesn't feel like he's earned it. He didn't win it the way he would have wanted. So he then relinquishes the title, and sets up a tournament to crown a new champion, which he competes in. He makes it to the finals, but ultimately loses to whoever, like CM Punk or some shit.
He could have done so much but his narrative is bad. I think Cody should be the guy to take the Universal championship from Roman (because I think Owens should win the world title at the Rumble in a Last Man Standing. Long story.), So I'm not like a Cody hater or anything. I just think he had zero foresight in AEW and booked himself into oblivion.
And if you're here watching wrestling interviews, you're a mark too. 😛
We're all marks.
He had to do it he is an evp and he does not want to abuse his power as a evp
@@sebastiansalinas3915 As I stated, so are Kenny and the Bucks, and them winning titles has not given us the impression that they're abusing their power. It all depends on the booking, and they've booked themselves fairly well.
@@Just-Michael plenty of people accuse the elite of abusing their power. I see it all the time? I know thats anecdotal but its one of the top criticisms I see of them and aew these days.
his contract didnt expire he just left lol btw never noticed eric twidles his thumbs when he talks lol must get nervous, hard to figure for a guy like that
Cody vs Roman🤞🤞
It happened. Now lets see him win it at WM40.
Yes who knows better on Cody's reasons than bischoff 🙄
Cody betrayed the fans because of his own overblown ego
You mean the fans betrayed him by booing him, chanting "you deserve it" when he was injured and insulting his wife
$$$
Hunter wont put the title on him out of principle. Hhh is one of the most petty ppl there is. Eventually Cody is gonna get buried
Cody ( & Brandi) will be back in AEW. I have a very strong feeling it'll happened and his 2nd stint in WWE is on a short term basis and very similar to William Regal's AEW stint. What I mean by that is Cody is probably there to see how they currently do things and recruit people from there to bring with him when he eventually goes back to AEW. I mean AEW and Cody still follow each other on IG and Cody is still in the AEW Fight Forever video game. Also, why would he go back to a company that has treated both him and his family like crap all those years and he immediately goes back to them within a snap of a finger? Both TK and Cody are very smart people and I don't buy these reports of friction between the both of them one bit. This is just an inside/undercover job to get insider information from WWE and make AEW & ROH the best pro wrestling promotions in the world IMO. Even if it means AEW tanks for 2 - 3 years until Cody's WWE contract expires. TK is filthy, stanking rich so he can make up for the losses and he's an owner of 2 sports franchises so he know the deal.
Cody doesn’t deserve to win it yet have him main event then lose then next year win
Now we know Eroc , is bought and paid for
I lost respect for Eric
Damn it's weird when old guys get fresh sleeves lol
I dont think HHH could book a library.
He set himself up for failure by trying to do this whole if I lose I won't ever challenge for the aew title nonsense. To be honest i just don't respect the decision given the known circumstances. He's a great preformer but this air of the codyverse is still very much strong in wwe. Guys comes out 30th and wins the rumble is just such a lame way wwe could have wrote that.
Wrong. He couldve turned heel and ignored that. Or he could do what Christian Cage has done and made the TNT Title more valuable than the AEW Championship.
He left because aew is trash Indy wrestling tv. Can’t even crack a million views in the nba off-season lmaooooo
@Mareko Mareko you have no idea what you are talking about. AEW is a multimillion dollar a year company something you don’t have, is that why you are hating. AEW is so much better than WWE. New Years Smash was awesome.
@@Hollerboy69 lmao Tony khan I know that’s u loser
@@Coldass yeah right this is TK, no this is someone with common sense and doesn’t hate on people just because he is a keyboard warrior.
@@Hollerboy69 naw u just a aew groupie lol u like trash Indy wrestling what a loser
