The “Sports Entertainment” Company needed Cody to make their Dumpsterfire of a Product a little tiny bit more Watchable that’s the clear observation.
AEW doesn’t need Cody on their Roster, I mean look at the Talent they have:
CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Kenny Omega, Adam Cole(Bay Bay), Jon Moxley, Samoa Joe, “Hangman” Adam Page, MJF, Keith Lee, Eddie Kingston, Chris Jericho, Young Bucks, The Hardys, Lucha Bros, PAC, Darby Allin, Andrade El Idolo, reDRagon, Santana/Ortiz, Swerve Strickland, Miro, Malakai Black, Buddy Matthews, Brody King, Hook, Sammy Guevara, Jungle Boy, Ricky Starks etc.
A completly Insane Stacked Roster that even gets likely more Additions throughout 2022 & onwards(cough Windham, Claudio Castagnoli, Johnny Gargano cough), I think the Promotion will do just Fine! ;)
