When Cody Rhodes made the jump from AEW to return to WWE, he knew that he was taking a big risk.
SmackDown Superstar Cody Rhodes was a recent guest on Six Feet Under with The Undertaker. When discussing departing AEW, a company he helped found, to return to WWE, Rhodes admitted he knew he was taking a big gamble.
“I had to really weigh it out. Is this a mistake? They didn’t see it the first time,” Cody Rhodes said. “They saw a little of it, but they didn’t see it. Is this the biggest mistake ever? You think the first time leaving is the biggest mistake ever. Coming back, my fear was like, this could be the biggest gamble of all.
“I had a good gig. Contrary to what you hear, and you guys know how the internet likes to internet, but I had a good gig. I had an executive job. I loved the Bullet Club guys, but evolving and moving myself forward, it was just a lot to weigh out. Had I gone out there and belly flopped in the pool, it wouldn’t have hurt WWE at all. It would have been, ‘See? He was little league all along.’” [H/T: WrestlePurists]
