>>11830577Cody left because of fucking Tony. He barely ever mentions him. He never left because of Punk. Maybe, it had to do with Punk but not the man himself. When Punk first left in 2014, somebody sent the Observer a long email about it and how the company (WWE) wasn't using people right. It's always been suspected to be typed up by Cody or Ziggler at the time.
And even in AEW, Punk has his own contingent of people that sided with him. AEW people were making jokes about Jade actually hating him and coming back when he left, only for her to drop the belt and leave right after.
I still blame Tony even for the Punk stuff. Because he should've laid the ground rules. Instead he let the inmates run the asylum and he's not like Heyman where he can control them. They all openly disrespect him and walk all over him.
Vince would've forced them to make up because of the money a feud would make.
