Cody Rhodes left WWE in 2016 because of creative differences. After spending his time in the independent scene for two years, he wanted to bring a change in pro-wrestling. He did just that as he teamed up with The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega to form AEW in 2019. They even received the support of Tony Khan.

AEW signed some big names and went on to become the second-best pro-wrestling promotion in the world. They provided wrestling fans another option and helped the wrestling scene reach a peak it hadn’t seen for a long time. 

In January, there were rumors that Cody and Brandi Rhodes’ AEW contracts had expired. The duo worked without a contract, but AEW announced that they have left the promotion.

Tony Khan confirmed the news-

“Cody and Brandi Rhodes were integral to the launch of All Elite Wrestling. 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.”

As per the sources, there was a fallout between Tony Khan and Cody Rhodes as Tony’s visibility grew within the company. It seems this upset Cody Rhodes, as he was the AEW Vice President.

Are Cody Rhodes and Brandi Rhodes going to WWE?

Cody Rhodes was the face of AEW. Hence, his departure will undoubtedly be a shock. When the news of Cody and Brandi leaving AEW broke, rumors of Cody already being in talks with WWE also started. 

Cody said about AEW, “I have loved my time at AEW. Amazing locker room. Amazing fans. Amazing people. The ‘revolution’ was indeed televised, and I’ve been incredibly lucky to be part of that. First, I want to thank Tony Khan. He’s taken the baton and run with it, and it was an honor to work for him and to know him on a personal level.“
