A new report from Fightful has put to rest rumors surrounding one of the possible reasons Cody Rhodes left AEW.
The report notes that Rhodes has communicated to those close to him that money issues were not part of his decision to leave. With one additional source saying that “Tony Khan has money, and that’s not what motivated Cody here.”
Also in the report, it was noted that DDP told them he was in contact with Cody Rhodes shortly before Rhodes’ exit was made public. DDP would say the following regarding his conversation with Rhodes:
“Cody called me two days before. He said, ‘Listen, I’m gonna tell you something. But I can only tell you so much. But I know if I don’t call you and tell you, you’re gonna want to kill me. You’ll be so pissed off, so I have to call and tell you that I love Tony Khan. He’s a great guy. He loves me. But we’re gonna split up and I want to go off and do something else. I can’t tell you about what it is right now, but I promise at some point I will.’ I don’t want to know sometimes. You know what I mean? I want to be surprised. I gave him all of my viewpoints on everything. I don’t know if you’re doing this, I don’t know if you’re doing that, I don’t know if you’re doing this. But I gave him my viewpoints and then Cody’s a man. He’s very successful. To me whatever he does, I wish him the best. I hope I helped him with some of my insights to help direct him. But he’s gonna do what he’s gonna do.”
