WWE’s Special Counsel to the Tribal Chief Paul Heyman recently discussed Cody Rhodes leaving AEW and why he believes the former EVP did.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani as part of the MMA Hour podcast, Heyman explained why he thinks Cody may be on his way back to WWE.
“He’s one of the founders of the company, a lot of it is his concept, a lot of the initial phase was on him, and Cody always had a vision to fill the boots of his father, not just in the ring but behind the scenes,’ Heyman began.

“And the fact that he didn’t have the level of participation in decision making that he initially probably thought ’” this is speculation on my end, I never heard this from Cody, but just seeing the manner in which the creative end of that company grew ’” it doesn’t surprise me that at some point he was going to say, ’˜Not what I originally envisioned and I want to see what life is like elsewhere'” Heyman continued.
“So when a founder of a company whose initial vision it was, or part of it was, leaves ’” that’s always surprising. Knowing what I know, and that’s admittedly very little of the circumstances, not so surprised” Paul Heyman concluded.
Cody Rhodes is expected to be appearing at WWE WrestleMania 38 this weekend to take on Seth Rollins on Night 1.
