>>16694571> If I were to guess, likely as with most things in life; money and ego.Cody probably signed on to AEW being promised that he would have a load of power, freedom and money which sounds amazing. When he started it was new and exciting. Then as the honeymoon period inevitably worn off like any lucrative venture in life he probably got used to seeing the massive paychecks and they didn't mean as much anymore, saw Tony listening less to him and listening to others instead as more people got in his ear, and grew tired of the monotony of his position.
I'm assuming most wrestlers get used to the stable, structured way of WWE.
