Cody Rhodes Says Leaving AEW Was ‘The Easiest Thing’ He Ever Did

Last February, Cody Rhodes and his wife Brandi announced their AEW departure before Cody returned to WWE two months later by defeating Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 38. 

Rhodes has stated in the past that he left the company due to a personal issue. 

In an interview with GQ Sports, Rhodes talked about the decision and how it was an easy one. 

“No, it was the easiest thing I ever did. And it’s because I had a personal issue that I wasn’t going through, over, or around. I was just going to steer clear of it. If anything, I wanted to look at what we had done at AEW and say, ‘Amazing, what a wonderful time, a beautiful memory, and very special in every way. And now it’s time to move on.’ You know, all good things. And it certainly was like that with me. So I mean it not in a negative way, like I was happy to burn rubber and speed out, but it just wasn’t a decision that was difficult for me at all. Or for Brandi.”
