Cody proves week after week that AEW's biggest mistake ever was letting him go. He was the only grown-up in the room, and backstage has been a disaster since.

Cody was a weird egomaniac ending racism in America, putting himself through flaming tables, and getting Arn to tell him about shooting gang bangers with glocks in AEW. It does seem clear that he was the best backstage leader, but Tony wasn’t going to get anything salvageable out of him on-screen moving forward. He needs the strictures of a big company and careful handlers to get him to his current stratospheric level.

I sincerely hope MJF jumps for the same reason. Haitch wouldn’t put him in a position to do weird promos about totaling a car while he was getting blown, or let him do that if he asked to.

What killed Cody in AEW - and that speaks to the extremely permissive management & booking team (hey, those are one and the same!) - was that he couldn't challenge for the top belt MONTHS into the company's life. Killed any chance he had of overcoming a booking slump. 

He still did elevate some young talent to that next level, like Sammy and Darby, but he never could have that top reign, and instead was doing feuds that didn't really mesh with the rest of the show. The Codyverse, if ya wheel.
