Apparently the new contracts Tony Khan is offering or offered to the Bucks, Kenny and Cody no longer have the EVP title. Cody wanted to keep it. TK wouldn't budge.

Here we are

I really don't understand the way people are buying the idea that Cody would go back to WWE considering there is no way in hell that WWE will give Cody the kind of creative freedom he has become accustomed to.
AEW basically allowed Cody to create his own corner of the company where he could do just about anything that came into his or his wife's heads with no oversight.

The Bucks signed their new deals and are still EVPs

Yeah I read that too. But then I read their deals had options that were picked up by AEW. Cody's didn't I guess?

Somewhat OT. but the lack of contract transparency in wrestling really is staggering.

I agree with that, but I lay the blame on TK. Cody is still an active full time performer. He has no business being a booker or behind the scenes guy as well being full time performer. It's a conflict of interest just like how it was for his idol HHH

Exactly breh. This business would've died 40 years ago without characters/storylines. It's essential to professional wrestling. The attitude era was never known for its great ring work or workrate, but no one gave a fukk cause that shyt was pure entertainment. Instead of worrying about what they can do to entertain and increase viewership, these nikkas tryna get 5 stars from Meltzer :hhh:
Steiner called it :wow:

Grain of salt alert. Believe it when you see it.


Cody going to WWE would be hilarious because Vince is a grudge holding old b*stard who would happily pay Cody some exorbitant contract just to be able to make him look like a clown on TV for as long as it makes Vince laugh.

Does Cody own the Nightmare Factory? If so, will he have to sell his stake?

Will he be allowed to keep his roles in his tv shows?

Will KKKody, Brandi, and their biracial baby be sent to NXT?

Will Nick Khan even offer Brandi a contract?

Is Cody being used as a tool for WWE to go after Big Shotty Lee Johnson?

Is Cody a victim of the Danhausen curse?

Will Cody have to offer HHH that fade?

How many quotables will MVP & Paul E drop about Cody's neck tattoo?

How will Cody work if he's no longer allowed to blade?

Will KKKody re-form the Forgotten Sons?

What was supposed to be the payoff for Brandi's feud with Dan Lambert?

Am I the only one on here that likes his matches :lupe:


His personality is annoying but I like him as a wrestler
Nah, Cody gets in his bag with certain matches. He's a sports entertainment hoe at heart. So anything that has dramatic storytelling (like with his bro) or that big match style like with Sammy, he puts out bangers.

Cody isn't someone I want to see for "a great wrestling match" as far as the technical like you'd expect from a Bryan type. Hes annoying as shyt, but he delivers when he's book to his strengths.

Sure he is, Brock Lesnar did worst than Cody and Brock looks very much like a clown smh...

Vince probably respects Cody and also Cody has to have connections in the TNT/TBS building for him to be on so many shows on that network and Vince and Nick might want to leverage that in upcoming negotiations

Then he's just gonna cash in checks and happily be a family man with a few more millions on his bank account.
