It may not be a bad thing to go to the WWE from AEW.
Last month, Cody Rhodes made his return to the WWE after years away. In that time, Rhodes helped to create and build up AEW. He was a several time TNT champion and left the company on good terms. Many AEW stars have given credit to Cody and admitting to keeping up to date with the WWE for Cody.
According to Bryan Alvarez on the Wrestling Observer Radio Show, more AEW stars are now willing to jump ship to WWE, should there be an attractive offer on the table.
“There’s been a big shift among people in AEW. Not that like they want out. But it’s definitely different in the sense that I get the impression that more people are willing to go [to WWE] if they get like a great offer. Whereas a couple of years ago, it wasn’t like they wouldn’t go if they offered tons of money but they were like so happy to be there [in AEW]. But now that they have seen that Cody’s made a lot of money and he’s like a top guy and he’s getting pushed, now things have absolutely changed in terms of the way that people view potentially going to WWE.”
