During the conversation with Chris Van Vliet, Dustin Rhodes touched upon his brother, Cody, departing from AEW in 2022 to make a comeback to WWE.
Dustin expressed his surprise at Cody’s decision to leave WWE. He said (per Inside The Ropes):
“I didn’t actually [think he would leave]. But I know some stuff that went on. And you know, I think it was just his time, he made a smart decision. He made a very smart decision. Look at him now, he is the man here. So it’s incredible. Incredible ride, an incredible journey from him leaving the first time in WWE and saying he’s betting on himself and just taking the ball and f*cking running with it. And he created something really cool. That’s awesome.”
