During an episode of the “83 Weeks” podcast, wrestling legend Diamond Dallas Page opened up about Cody Rhodes’ daring move to depart from WWE and create his own brand. Below, you’ll find key points discussed during the podcast:
With respect to Rhodes’ bold step to exit WWE, Page said, “I’m hugely proud of him. More than anything else, we shared anecdotes about his departure from WWE when we chatted. It requires courage and audacity to make that decision to walk away. At the period, I am unsure about his earnings, but I imagine it around half a million bucks. Yet, he declared, ‘No, I need my release. Since how I perceive myself is totally different from your vision about me, and I am embarking on this journey.’”
Discussing Rhodes’ present status with WWE, Page remarked: “Before initiating this conversation, we spoke about Cody’s initial decision to leave and the enormous courage it required. Walking away from the secured income as Stardust, Cody Rhodes has risen to be the brightest star in wrestling at the moment. This progress was absolutely unpredictable.”
