More Details On Cody/Brandi Rhodes Leaving AEW, Possible WWE Return

Welcome back? The biggest wrestling news of the week has been the departure of Cody and Brandi Rhodes from AEW. The move came out of nowhere as Cody is one of the company’s founding fathers. Now that the two have left though, the question becomes where they might be heading next. It seems like we might have an idea and odds are you are not going to be surprised.

According to PWInsider.com, WWE has had discussions with the Rhodes family and the two sides are close to coming to an agreement. While there has been no agreement made, it is expected that Cody could be at the Performance Center as early as this weekend to prepare for a quick return. This has led to excitement backstage in WWE as Cody would be expected to have knowledge of the inner workings of AEW, which could help WWE’s strategy.

In addition, according to Fightful Select, the Rhodes family and AEW may have split over financial issues. The two sides met last week with Cody wanting to sign a “big” money deal but the two sides could not come to terms. This came after Cody had been working without a contract since late last year. As a result, the two left AEW and WWE has since begun making contact with them, leading to a possible return.

Opinion: This is one of those things that always could have been a possibility but I never would have bet on actually seeing it take place. Cody was one of the founding fathers of AEW and has been a featured player since the company debuted. The idea of him not being around is almost hard to fathom, but it is even more confusing to imagine him being back in WWE. It is certainly interesting, but still rather hard to comprehend.

What do you think of the situation? Do you want the Rhodes family back in WWE? Let us know in the comments below.
