Cody's contract negotiating skills are on point. :ehh:

"I wanna keep my theme music." :ufdup:

"Wanna keep my entrance attire." :ufdup:

"Wanna keep my hair blonde." :ufdup:

"Wanna keep my finisher." :ufdup:

"Wanna keep my ugly ass neck tattoo" :ufdup:

"Wanna match at Mania against a main eventer." :ufdup:

"Wanna beat that main eventer at Mania." :ufdup:

"And I want lots of 0's on that contract too." :ufdup:
And he got WWE to pay for a bus :yeshrug: that's like one of the biggest things a wrestler can ask for and get in their contract. I think they got that for Punk too - and he's being used as a headliner for RAW for ticket sales. Sold out all his merchandise in a day. And he gets to keep his creative projects, including his reality shows and any other shows he's shooting outside of WWE.

Craziness. WWE is going to push this and probably ruin it, but incredible change from 6 months ago.

Both WWE and AEW stans are gonna have to get used to talent switching companies. Ya'll can't lose your mind every time someone jumps ship.

Of course more AEW talent will go to WWE. AEW stans are in this thread juelzing talking about why would any top talent leave AEW for WWE :heh:

But plenty of WWE talent will also jump to AEW. It's just the nature of having two healthy wrestling companies operating in the same market. Wrestlers are always gonna look out for themselves in terms of money and also new challenges. You just have to accept this and not take this shyt so personally.

I agree. I think it will go both ways and why not just benefit by watching both shows. AEW will also up their game on entrances and PPV appearances etc because they will want to rise to a similar stardom level of WWE. This is good for all the wrestlers, they can argue for better treatment/pay and this will expand possibilities.

Wrasslers jumping has been part of the game. Must be Zoomers who are in their feelings.

Cody somehow the one member of that group that paid attention to that OC/Good Brothers story that made every dirtsheet round. Somehow, Cody was the only one who understood the assignment - use the threat of AEW to make Vince give more than he wants to. Use FOMO to make the old man overpay and then sprint to the bank to cash that check.
Now, he just needs enough luck to actually catch on so Vince doesn't feel the need to snatch it all right back.

I suspect he still might. Would be the most Vince thing ever to cut Cody after he's burned all his bridges elsewhere and leave him afloat in the wind. No one would touch dude again after this E run if he doesn't get that top star treatment for more time than he doesn't. Maybe MLW.
