Cody Rhodes Admits Leaving AEW for WWE Was “The Biggest Gamble of All”

TLDR

Cody Rhodes described his decision to leave AEW for WWE as "the biggest gamble of all" during an interview on The Undertaker's Six Feet Under podcast. Rhodes, who was an Executive Vice President and founding member of AEW, said he had to weigh leaving a "good gig" that included an executive role and starring in TV shows under WarnerMedia. He explained his fear was that if he failed upon returning to WWE, it wouldn't hurt the company but would have crushed him personally and professionally, with people saying "he was little league all along."
