• Did WWE Know Cody Rhodes Was Leaving AEW?
According to Fightful Select, WWE Officials knew about Cody Rhodes’ departure from AEW before the official announcement was made.
Just prior to the official announcement, word about Cody & Brandi Rhodes’ departure reached the locker room as well:
“Shortly before the announcement, WWE officials were aware of the situation and also knew that an announcement would be dropped.
We’ve heard that the two sides have at the least had discussions, but WWE was well aware that an announcement regarding Rhodes’ departure would be made at 10 am EST.
About 15 minutes before Cody’s announcement, word had also spread to AEW talent that he was leaving the company.
Cody Rhodes and Brandi haven’t been quite as connected to the locker room in recent years as when AEW started, with word emerging that Cody had become distant from other EVPs.”
