He does seem like a bit of a bellend does Cody - stupid neck tattoo doesn't help!

Especially since Dustin seems like such a good guy liked by everyone.

This screams getting some cheap headlines off the back of build up to Royal Rumble as idiots will speculate he might appear in it cos of this supposed free agent status.

I think the whole grandeur thing had a place earlier on when he was the main guy. That cage match vs Wardlow etc he genuinely felt like a huge deal, but once Omega started heating up and you toss in Mox, Punk, Cole, Bryan etc he was going to be (rightly) tossed aside.
 

If they do ever pull the trigger on him being a heel it’d be interesting, but worry it’d all feel a bit too 2003 Triple H.

Are Cody and Brandy not part of the set up / executives at AEW? They wouldnt be stupid enough (you would have thought) to put the TNT title back on him if there was any chance he was going to walk.

I did think his previous run as TNT champ was slightly strange, it seemed like it was split of from the rest of AEW (kinda like the FTW belt stuff), like cody and his group were over in hte corner doing one thing (although it did get us Eddie Kingston), with the rest of AEW working away on something else. SInce he dropped it the belt has felt much more part of the same show

Their part of the business side. Cody's an EVP and Brandi was Chief Brand Officer. They've also got Rhodes to the Top renewed for a second season. He's advertised for Dynamite on Wednesday. Most of the original big names were signed to 3 years deals with an option. With Cody's extracurricular work being tied into AEW he's probably negotiating improved terms.

What gets me is his elaborate personal entrance setup, coupled with one of the worst pieces of entrance music since the Kane one with the singing.

Not having this sacrilege. I'll accept it was a downgrade on his original stuff, but it's still a damn classic:

Moxley promo was outstanding, great to see him back. Cody's as well for different reasons but his story is one of the most interesting in wrestling at the moment. Watching Sting going out and enjoying wrestling again is also a joy to watch.

In something that's not really a surprise but still is due to the optics. Lio Rush has announced that his contract expires on February 22nd.

He disappeared from TV after asking Tony Khan to apologise following the Big Swole podcast backlash.

It does beg the question how long he signed for in the first place.
