Cody Rhodes Comments on His Reason for Leaving AEW

Peacock recently released their new documentary film based on Cody Rhodes titled American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes.

During the documentary, Rhodes gave his thoughts about his reason why he decided to leave AEW in February of 2022 for a return to WWE.

“This is my one request in this entire documentary. This one answer, I don’t want edited in any capacity. Don’t edit this part. I can’t tell you why I left AEW. I can’t, and I won’t, but I’ll tell you the reasons that were said that didn’t actually matter. I didn’t leave AEW because of money and I didn’t leave AEW because of other talents. I left AEW because of a personal issue. That’s it. The byproduct of leaving AEW is the opportunity to go for the biggest dream I ever had and the first dream I had in my life.”

In a follow-up segment on the documentary, WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque threw a little dig at AEW and their AEW World Championship belt for why Rhodes left the company.

“To then take that gamble again and say, ‘this is not what I wanted to be. I didn’t grow up dreaming of being the champion or the face of a secondary promotion. I wanted to be the WWE champion.”
