Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes spoke with the Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 FM about various topics, including his decision to refrain from discussing his departure from AEW.
Rhodes said, “Our departure from when we left the company we were with and helped create, and that was AEW, it came down to her deciding to not talk about it, that departure. Like, ‘We’re not going to talk about it. We’re moving on. Did bad stuff happen? Good stuff happened, too. I’m not going to talk about it.’”
On fans creating narratives about why they left:
“And one of the sad things about not talking about why we left and the departure, one of the difficult things was narratives get created. Stories get told, podcasts happen, fans literally think they know what happened when no one’s been even close. And what I would say is the selfless part, she lives with that. She owns that. She respects not just here, but the place we left enough to, ‘I’m not going to talk about that.’ And that made it so that — they’re good. They’re out of here. That was very, very helpful for us. And again, good stuff happened there, too. But that’s what I mean by selfless, because she lives with that.”
