Cody Rhodes departed from AEW earlier this year and this was seen as a shocking move for many. Fans began to speculate where he’d go next. In the end he went back to WWE.

Fans simply assumed that Cody Rhodes was going to stick with AEW for the long run. This is because he helped out the company in many ways during his time there.

While speaking with Wrestling Epicenter, Peter Avalon talked about Cody Rhodes’ departure. He said that it was the same as Scott Hall jumping ship to WCW from WWE.

It is exciting! It is like when Scott Hall went over to WCW and then Jeff Jarrett would go over. Seeing all these big-name wrestlers go and appear on different programs, it was like ‘wow, this is crazy!’ Seeing that happen now! Well, this is crazy! I think it is a good thing because it has people talking and if people are talking, people are making money. Good for Cody!”
