Cody Rhodes Responds To Rumors That He Left AEW Because Of CM Punk

Earlier this year it was revealed that Cody Rhodes’ had decided to part ways with AEW after his contract with the company expired, and fans immediately started talking about a possible WWE return for the former TNT Champion. Cody ultimately did end up returning to WWE when he appeared at WrestleMania 38 where he defeated Seth Rollins on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Cody has said many positive things about his time in AEW, but some fans still speculate on his reasons for leaving the company. Recently The American Nightmare responded to some rumors on Twitter, and he insisted that he didn’t leave AEW because of issues with CM Punk, Kenny Omega or The Young Bucks.

“I didn’t leave because of the Bucks/Kenny. I’m forever bonded to those men over what we created and I remain very proud of it, and I didn’t leave because of/or have issues with Punk. We got along. Not money, not booking, just a personal issue and my wanting to go for the big one.”

At the moment Cody Rhodes is currently out of action due to a torn pectoral muscle. Rhodes last competed back in June when he faced Seth Rollins at Hell in a Cell. It’s not known when he might return, but it was recently reported that Cody is recovering ahead of schedule. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
