All bookers run out of juice eventually so I’m genuinely curious who becomes booker after Tony.

I think he already said he doesn't want that life when he's done wrestling [full time] next year?

The answer should have been Cody, maybe it still will be!

Danielson is great but not all great wrestlers are great bookers or coaches. It's not a knock because he's easily a top 5 wrestler of all time. But that doesn't mean you're automatically a great booker.

Cody jumping from WWE back to AEW to become the top guy and booker would be very good, and funny, and I hope it happens.

Did anyone ever confirm what his “personal issue” was that caused him to leave AEW?

I imagine it’s Tony because whenever he praises AEW he talks up Omega and the Bucks and Hangman but he never mentions Tony.

There’s speculation that Tony wasn’t going to renew Brandi’s contract.

Which is amusing if true because WWE clearly had no interest in Brandi either.

I always thought it was pretty obvious. Cody wanted Punk/Jericho money but had booked himself out of the main event, the crowds had turned on him, he refused to turn heel and his segments, while still drawing viewers, were increasingly becoming total trainwrecks. The dude has done well in WWE but there's no reason to rewrite history, the dude looked cooked in AEW.

Brandi later denied this in an interview. I’m of the opinion that Tony said something about her ideas or work that offended her. Maybe not to her but it got back to her. They’ve ruled out enough stuff including money that it’s gotta be something actually personal like they’ve characterized it as

Cody is perfect for WWE because he wants to be like Cena as a face and WWE needs someone to fill that void since Cena is only a special attraction these days.

I still subscribe to the belief that Cody fully convinced himself that he was going to get the book in AEW, so he could be like his father in all aspects of his career; when it became clear that was never gonna happen, he took it very hard

Yes, I know he went back to the one company where him getting the book was even less likely to happen than it was in AEW, but that's because his other options were working the indies, going back to Japan, or doing something completely different outside of wrestling, none of which would pay as well as AEW or WWE
