As noted earlier, Cody Rhodes has been officially released from the WWE. Rhodes has since revealed his reasons behind leaving the WWE.
Rhodes explained that he had been very frustrated with his positioning with the company as he wanted to end the Stardust character but was nixed, likely from Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn (who are said to be huge fans of the Stardust gimmick). In addition, Rhodes also took shots on the lead creative writers of RAW and SmackDown by referring them as “The guy pretending to be Brian Gewirtz and “The guy who was busy hitting on developmental divas.”
Meanwhile, former WWE Superstar Wade Barrett commented Rhodes’ departure on Twitter:
So many of my fave times in WWE were with Cody Rhodes, both in front of & behind the camera. It takes balls to walk away, hats off.
