Cody Rhodes' AEW departure reportedly "amicable"

It appears that this week's split between Cody Rhodes and Tony Khan might not be as hostile as some people have feared.

Rhodes' departure from All Elite Wrestling has been the talk of the wrestling world. News of The American Nightmare leaving coincided with rumors of Stone Cold Steve Austin possibly returning for a match at WrestleMania 38.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select states that while there are mixed feelings about both Cody and Brandi Rhodes backstage within the company, the split between Cody and Khan appears to be "at least amicable."

This should come as a relief to fans of both parties who feared that there might be some underlying bad blood after the two sides parted ways earlier this week.

AEW Dynamite was "business as usual" without Cody Rhodes this week

Last night's episode of AEW Dynamite was the first episode without The American Nightmare on its roster. But Sapp reports that everyone he talked to said yesterday’s show was "business as usual."

One person from All Elite Wrestling told Sapp that this was simply "a reminder that this is pro wrestling and life goes on."

It was also said that those within All Elite Wrestling don't expect Tony Khan "to try to ignore or erase the existence of Cody Rhodes." This approach makes sense, as he was pivotal to launching the company when it began in 2019.
