WWE's Treatment Of Cody Rhodes Has AEW Roster's Attention
Cody Rhodes was the first wrestler to jump from AEW to WWE, but based on a handful of recent reports, it doesn't sound like he'll be the last. The American Nightmare made his surprise return during WrestleMania 38 and tore the house down with Seth Rollins. Those two are still involved in a feud, with the likely blowoff coming at the upcoming Hell In A Cell premium live event on May 5th.
The former executive vice president of AEW has been treated like a king since returning to WWE. He's been featured front-and-center in advertising, has received a ton of television time and has been given a "Countdown To Cody" timer on Monday Night Raw so that fans know exactly when he'll appear on air. In other words: Rhodes is in the midst of a push of a lifetime now that he's back in WWE.

That's an interesting development, to say the least, especially with news emerging earlier this month that some talent in AEW were growing increasingly frustrated behind the scenes. MJF, in particular, has become the poster boy for these issues, going so far as to no-show a scheduled meeting with fans during Double Or Nothing weekend. Wardlow destroyed him in the opening match on the card, and it's unclear when he'll be back on AEW television.
