Cody sealed his own fate when he swore never to challenge for the AEW Title after losing to Jericho. That basically banished him to mid-card hell, which is an untenable situation when you constantly put yourself in the spotlight. I don't know what part he used to play in the booking, but if that was a point of contention, going to the WWE makes no sense. Tony Khan gives all of his top guys plenty of leeway in the booking of their own characters, does anyone genuinely think Vince will be *more* open to letting Cody have some creative control? No chance (in hell).
That leaves us with one and only one reason - money. Vince isn't buying Cody Rhodes the talent, he's buying an AEW Founder and EVP.
