Wrestling veteran Jim Cornette recently spoke about Cody Rhodes' exit from AEW for WWE and how it worked out for the Superstar.
The American Nightmare had an explosive run in the Jacksonville-based Promotion. Most notably, he won the TNT Championship three times against the likes of Sammy Guevara and Brodie Lee. Despite his initial fiery start, his popularity with the AEW audience faded near the end.
Speaking about Cody Rhodes on a recent Drive-Thru episode, Jim Cornette stated that Cody's timing in switching to WWE was perfect:
"Remember Cody was about as popular as cr*tch rot there at the end with that audience and I, you know, I know they were gonna play with it in some respect, had he stayed they'd have done something. But if he hadn't got hurt he walked right into the perfect spot in the WWE when they most needed him, and he was over-performing in that." (1:31 - 1:56)

A wrestling veteran recently commented on whether Cody Rhodes should face Roman Reigns upon his WWE return
While the American Nightmare has a lot of momentum in WWE, Booker T believes pitting him against Roman Reigns next would be a bad idea.
Cody Rhodes is currently recovering from a torn pectoral muscle, an injury he suffered shortly after his return to the Stamford-based promotion. Rumors of him nearing his full recovery recently emerged, prompting fans to question whether he would be returning to the squared circle soon.
Speaking on the Reality of Wrestling podcast, Hall of Famer Booker T stated the following regarding Cody facing the Tribal Chief upon his return:
"I don't know if I'd come back with it that quick. I know that's the match that everybody wants to see. I know that's the match that we've been building up to. But, I don't know if I would want to put Cody in that situation fresh off an injury." H/T :Wrestling Inc]
It remains to be seen when Rhodes will make his comeback.
