Cody Rhodes Says “No One’s Been Close” To Guessing Reason for His AEW Departure in 2022

As noted before, Brandi and current Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes departed from AEW in February of 2022. Rhodes made his surprise return to WWE at WrestleMania 38 in April of that year.

A recent episode of The Breakfast Club podcast featured Cody Rhodes as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Rhodes’ thoughts about how nobody has been close to guessing the actual reason for his departure from AEW.

“Our departure from when we left the company we were with and helped create, and that was AEW, it came down to her deciding to not talk about it, that departure. Like, ‘We’re not going to talk about it. We’re moving on. Did bad stuff happen? Good stuff happened too. I’m not going to talk about it.’ “And one of the sad things about not talking about why we left and the departure, one of the difficult things was narratives get created. Stories get told, podcasts happen, fans literally think they know what happened when no one’s been even close, and what I would say is the selfless part, she lives with that. She owns that. She respects not just here, but the place we left enough to, ‘I’m not going to talk about that.’ They’re good. They’re out of here. That was very, very helpful for us, and again, good stuff happened there too, but that’s what I mean by selfless, because she lives with that.”
