TMZ is reporting that Cody Rhodes and Tony Khan recently had a falling out, which apparently played a part in Cody and Brandi leaving AEW.
The report stated, “Sources tell us there was a fallout between Cody and Tony recently … as Khan’s visibility within the company grew.”
It is worth noting that the first person that Cody thanked in his statement was Tony Khan. Both Cody and Brandi Rhodes announced their departure earlier today. Cody was a free agent when his contract expired in December and had been working on a handshake deal and wasn’t on the AEW payroll.
The current belief is that they will both sign with WWE soon and talks are ongoing.
