BREAKING: Cody And Brandi Rhodes Leaving AEW

Fare thee well? AEW has only been around for a few years now but the company has made some amazing strides in such a little time. The company has gone from an idea to the second biggest wrestling company in the world. That is not something you see take place very often and a lot of its progress is due to a core group of names. However, some of those names might not be around any longer.

As announced on their Twitter accounts, Cody and Brandi Rhodes have announced that they are leaving AEW. Cody and Brandi have both posted messages thanking several members of the AEW roster and people who work backstage though he does not give a reason for the departure. AEW President Tony Khan has also posted a message thanking them for their time and efforts in the company. According to F4WOnline.com, Cody’s contract with AEW expired in December and he has been a free agent since. There has been discussions about him returning to WWE but nothing has been confirmed.

Opinion: Well that’s a surprise. I’m going to need some time to get my head around this one as I would not have expected the Rhodes Family to walk away from AEW. It opens up some doors, but it also makes things interesting in AEW. The company has not dealt with some kind of a major departure like this before and it could be fascinating to see how they respond to such a change.

What do you think of the move? Where will the two head next? Let us know in the comments below.
