What these zoomers don't get is that brand loyalty isn't really a thing for wrestlers like it is for them. Professional wrestling is a business first and foremost. Always has been, always will be, and as a performer you should always go to the promotion that offers you the best deal. It's like any other job in that regard. Feel unhappy in your current workplace? Find a new one. That one sucks too? Okay, try again. That's exactly what Cody did. He felt undervalued by WWE, so he helped kickstart AEW and reignited his career.
Three years later, and the AEW thing has run its course for him, but now that he has become a hot commodity in the meantime Vince is paying attention to him. It was Cody's prerogative to leave WWE and it was his prerogative to leave AEW too. He did absolutely nothing wrong.
