I said on Page 1 this is a work and Rhodes to the Top Season 2 is otw
But let's play with this and it is real, I saw something similar to this coming but in 2024 and with MJF not Cody
Punk is their highest paid in the company at reported 5 mil, WWE just signed Owens for 3. MJF would at least be 2022 Owens level off rip wouldn't he? Then what would stop WWE from blowing up AEW's pay structure and offering MJF over 5 per, which would make MJF AEW's highest paid if he re-signed. There's plenty of incentive to, he's the same age as the NXT stars they're building the future around and if nothing else it fukks over AEW. AEW would have to re-structure a bunch of contracts if they matched WWE's offer I'd have to think.
I thought about all this, never saw Cody being the first to push that button tho lol
