I can't help but fill in my own narrative to the events we've seen take place at AEW with the EVP's and Tony. Clearly, it would seem that Cody had very strong opinions and likely a bit of resistance to Tony's ideas or vice versa. I can see that Tony probably cooled off on Cody as a real leading player after the TNT Championship angle with Brodie Lee.
Cody hung on for another year after that, bouncing between outside projects and decent but not main event storylines in AEW. He is a main guy, no way should he have been relegated to less than.
Hoping that Regal, Danielson, Punk, Jericho, The Bucks... Daniels ... somebody can get the respect of Tony to get some influence on him.
