Claim That Unexpected Name Was to Blame For Cody & Brandi Rhodes’ AEW Departure

Cody Rhodes and his wife Brandi’s departure from AEW was a massive deal at the time, and while the promotion has recovered from losing one of their top stars to this day, fans still wonder what occurred to cause this. And now, during his podcast , Konnan has claimed that one of the reasons for the couple’s departure was issues between Brandi and Dr. Britt Baker, with the AAA booker noting that Tony Khan took Baker’s side.

“One of the reasons that Cody left, amongst many, was there was problems between Brandi and Britt, and Tony always takes her side.”

Baker is no stranger to backstage drama and recently made headlines after it was revealed that the AEW original had been fined and suspended by the company following an argument with MJF following Dynamite’s 250th episode. Precisly what happened isn’t clear, although it’s understood that Baker badmouthed MJF in the women’s locker room, and Alicia Atout, who is dating MJF, texted him to make him aware.
