DDP Reveals What Cody Rhodes Told Him About AEW Exit
DDP was part of Rhodes’ ‘Nightmare Family’ on AEW TV
We are several weeks removed from Cody Rhodes’ shock AEW exit, and are still piecing together why ‘The American Nightmare’ left the company he helped found.
We’ve heard tidbits from Rhodes’ colleagues, friends, and fans, and now WWE Hall of Famer and close confidant of Cody DDP has revealed what Rhodes told him of his departure, revealing the following to Fightful (via Fightful Select):
"Cody called me two days before. He said, ‘Listen, I’m gonna tell you something. But I can only tell you so much. But I know if I don’t call you and tell you, you’re gonna want to kill me. You’ll be so pissed off, so I have to call and tell you that I love Tony Khan. He’s a great guy. He loves me. But we’re gonna split up and I want to go off and do something else. I can’t tell you about what it is right now, but I promise at some point I will.’ I don’t want to know sometimes. You know what I mean? I want to be surprised. I gave him all of my viewpoints on everything. I don’t know if you’re doing this, I don’t know if you’re doing that, I don’t know if you’re doing this. But I gave him my viewpoints and then Cody’s a man. He’s very successful. To me whatever he does, I wish him the best. I hope I helped him with some of my insights to help direct him. But he’s gonna do what he’s gonna do.”
Rumours abound that Rhodes is set to rejoin/has already rejoined WWE in the wake of his AEW exit.
