WATCH: MJF Reveals Surprise Reaction To Major AEW Departure

That’s another take on things. Wrestling is a sport like almost every other, int hat you will always see people moving on from one promotion to another. There are some big names who stick around for a long time but more often than not, wrestlers are moving on to greener pastures on a regular basis. Occasionally a bigger name will move though, and that can create a unique situation. That was the case earlier this year.

Back in February, Cody Rhodes left AEW and returned to WWE later in the year. During a new interview with Ariel Helwani, AEW’s Maxwell Jacob Friedman discussed Rhodes leaving the company. Friedman said that the locker room viewed Rhodes leaving favorably, though not in a personal way against Rhodes. The departure opened up more doors at the top of the card, which is a good thing for any wrestler in the company. Friedman says that is how the business works, as it is a competitive sport.

Opinion: I can get the thinking here and Friedman is probably very right. Rhodes leaving did open a main event spot in the promotion and that is not something you see happen every day. What matters is giving someone a chance and there were wrestlers ready to capitalize on Rhodes’ departure. It was a game changer for the company and Rhodes seems to have done well in WWE so far, so well done on all sides.

What did you think of Rhodes leaving? Who benefited the most in AEW? Let us know in the comments below.
