Cody is a worker and he'll always be a worker. He'll say what he needs to get himself and whatever he's selling across. When AEW started, promoting a war worked best for his narrative regardless of whether he wanted one or not. Now he's the babyface to end all babyfaces in WWE he's being kind and neutral. That's all it is.

You know WWE did Cesaro dirty when Cody Rhodes is their choice for first Swiss WWE Champion.

Cody was one of the dudes pushing the war narrative from the start in AEW. Come on son

So, he's remaining neutral? That selfish PRICK!

On the one hand, I'm happy that Cody is happy where he is, and that there's no hard feelings between him and AEW. On the other hand, as a day one AEW fan, I can't forget that HE was the one pushing the whole "war" thing to begin with. HE smashed the throne. HE made the "you can't counter-program us" comment at Fight for the Fallen. When most of the AEW roster was content to just do their own thing, it was Cody and Jericho going "WAR! WAR! WAR!" Like, it just feels like Cody had a hand in poisoning the Discourse TM well, and now that he's back in WWE, he's now standing around the well going "no no no, guys, the water is fine to drink!" Not to mention Kenny saying on an interview with Meltzer that Cody was the one who really pushed for the war stuff and to 'go against' WWE. I really am happy Cody's getting his dream here but it really speaks to just how opportunistic the whole thing was. Build up the competition, use it as a launchpad to stardom, go back to WWE. Like an inverse CM Punk. More likely he has lost the influence he had in AEW and wanted to shove it to them by going to WWE. Deliberate damage. He will be back one day.

Cody: "We're brothers and sisters, there's no war, we're not in competition with each other." HHH: "Hey, Vince just called, we're putting KOTR the night before Double Or Nothing! You're in direct competition! And don't go easy on each other just because you're brothers and sisters, I want to see you both fighting for wrestling fans' love! Fight fight fight fight fight fight fight!"

I just want to thank Cody again for reminding me that you should never trust anything any wrestler says ever

The people mad about Cody prodding WWE in the past, I kind of wonder if people also remember Cody talking about how there'd be a romance to saying he wanted to behead Vince on behalf of the fallen Crockett Productions (paraphrasing), but that he did learn his craft in WWE, citing Triple H and Vince as being people he learned a lot from, etc, in multiple interviews?
Or is it just breaking a chair that left a lasting impression?
I mean, if you didn't see those interviews and just saw onscreen, that's one thing, but literally none of this is without precedence, and frankly, not actually hypocritical.

Cody is full of shit roughly 99% of the time with a +/- of 1%. lol I’m sure that the wrestlers don’t care because more places to work equals more opportunities, but at the same time Cody was one of the main dudes stirring this shit up to begin with, My issue with Cody generally is that his "words/meaning" ratio is WAY out of whack. Dude will take 50 words to say what a normal person could in five. Cody is like a jeopardy question in that I understand the words he says, but not in the order he puts them in.

Good thing Vince isn’t in control of the book…supposedly. He hears Cody is “too Swiss” and his ass is jobbing.

I do think that it's funny that he would never have gotten the same gigantic push had he'd just stayed in WWE.
