I’m more interested in where the rest of the Nightmare Family will go. Brock and Lee and a nice, albeit characterless, team. While Dustin is a good JTTS with credibility. But without Cody why keep them together associated at all. Not that Cody ever did ANYTHING with then besides that one Tag Match. The Gunns were right in betraying him

A new out of nowhere talent named Rhody Codes.
Serious answer: Without Cody, you don't have this weird situation where one of the top names in the company is in this isolated bubble because he took himself out of contention for the World Championship. That frees up mobility for pretty much everyone on the roster now that it's popped. I think Danielson or Punk can fill in as the "upper card gatekeeper" role that Cody sorta filled while also being in the title picture so he wouldn't just be stuck in a booking holding pattern with more and more elaborate storytelling.

Forget taking Cody's spot, I want someone to seamlessly insert himself into Cody's character and just retain the entrance, presentation, promos, and everything. Keep his continuity and give it to like Peter Avalon with zero adjustments, including send-ups to a legendary father in wrestling. Just act like nothing's changed. Lee Johnson's already in the Nightmare Family and I want to see him pushed, let's do this. Or see if Jay Lethal wants to do another impression gimmick.

He'll be more of a loss backstage as someone who made himself available to anyone that needed advice.

I'm more interested who takes over as Chief Branding Officer, because imo, there's a lot of room for improvement over what Brandi was doing in that department far as we ever saw.

They just need to hire a straight-up sports marketer from outside the company for the CMO/CBO role. I get what they were trying to do with Brandi but they need a real marketer to help smooth over some of the warts they have from a branding/marketing perspective.

I'm more curious who takes over the middle entrance or if it gets retired.

I could see the role being quietly retired and its responsibilities split among people who were Brandi's subordinates (Leva Bates, Amanda Huber, Mark Henry, etc). Mostly because I get the feeling that the position was invented for Brandi in the first place.

The reason I hope it goes to someone smart is because Brandi was one of the main people I believe booking the women and overseeing their production at least at one point, if she still was, it'd be nice if they got a better representative, in which we might start seeing more variety and time placement for them on the card as they are given more of a booking focus. I'm sure Leva could easily take over running AEW Heels though.

Everyone on the roster takes turns with the 10 minute slot Cody's entrance took to do whatever the hell they want.
A day in the life of Abandon, Luchasaurus promo, Danielson puts on an exhibition against a bear, Hangman Vs Matt Hardy in a horse Vs golf cart match, first to catch Sammy wins...

With Cody gone, who has the longest and most over-dramatic entrance on the roster?
Can you imagine what would happen if Cody signs with WWE and can keep his whole Kingdom entrance intact? If he ever has a match against Roman Reigns, the show will run out of time before the bell rings.

I don't think any one wrestler takes Cody's spot, to be honest. The time and storylines dedicated to Cody (and Brandi) can be spread over a number of the big new names that should be in the main event scene in the next few months (House of Black, Keith Lee, Cole & ReDRagon etc.).
I'd love if Dustin takes up the mantle of leader of the Nightmare Family though. Adds one or two new members, maybe even a faction name change. You've got the potential for a really great storyline there.

If I had to define Cody's spot, it was as a top star doing lots of promos and blood feuds outside of the title scene, with a slower and more old-fashioned wrestling style. So yeah, CM Punk, who's currently a better Cody than Cody. Not until Cody gets bored in his WWE run and goes to UFC to lose to a tomato can and takes a bunch of Dana White’s cash.

I’m more interested in where the rest of the Nightmare Family will go. Brock and Lee and a nice, albeit characterless, team. While Dustin is a good JTTS with credibility. But without Cody why keep them together associated at all. Yeah I was thinkin about this. What will they do without since calling it the Nightmare family when the guy who was known as the Nightmare is gone. So is Arn staying to manage Brock and ext or will he do something else?

They can just call them "the Family." Cody barely did that stable any favors anyway; really just felt like they were there to prop him up than anything.
Arn has a backstage role doing what he was basically doing in WWE so he's not going anywhere. I think on-screen he sticks around to manage his son Brock. Or he could join up with Tully in the Pinnacle.
