I think there's more to the story of Rhodes leaving as well. I can't see him ever going back. It doesn't seem like AEW and Cody ended on the best of terms. His booking at the end was poor as well. The best booking (and feud) to date was MJF/Punk, but that opportunity is now gone. Compare that to the atrocious booking with Cole/MJF (with UE randomly included), the feud everyone wants to see end. Meanwhile they continue to run it into the ground, wasting their biggest name. That's a good microcosm of where the company is at now.
