Easy to say after getting that fat check for all those years. He can do what he wants now because of the financial security his career in WWE gave him.

You can tell he was humiliated as Stardust and just lost all of his passion. I give him credit. That's probably the hardest thing to do. Walk away from the money and glory but at least you get your happiness and respect.

It’s wild being able to sit here and reflect on this 6 years later seeing how it all played out. Easily one of the gutsiest decisions to have made to leave the sure thing big money safety net of WWE and dive to the indies. But seeing how he did great on the indies, started AEW, and finally returned to WWE at the level he always believed he could be is really a cool thing to see.

Ahmed Mahmoud wish it were that simple.

Plus, easy money is can be more comforting versus going to unknown territories although I think plenty of guys could make it. Not kissing WWE’s ass, but there are reasons some shitter than other.

IDK. That's kinda odd that he can't even use Rhodes now. It's not like any other superstar where the name is NXT (OCW/FCW) creation. That's his Hall of Famer father's name. Even more odd when his wife can use Brandi Rhodes....I understand the legalities, but WWE should let him have that lawyer-free.

he can and should use his last name but he cant go by Cody Rhodes, he can use them separately e.g. just "Cody" or just "Rhodes" but he can't combine the two as WWE owns "Cody Rhodes" he legally cannot brand himself as Cody Rhodes in any way shape or form. if he did so he would risk being sued and most definitely losing in court. also, any & all revenue generated under that name belongs to the WWE. they can make action figures of him, t shirts, anything they please and he can't do or say a damn thing. they literally own him..or his name at least. the WWE has made exceptions for people like the rock (he had to buy his name from them) but I don't see them cooperating with cody due to bad blood.

Stardust should have just been a cool alter ego like Finn Balor's Demon King

The other things that people don't realize is that he probably inherited a lot of money from his father after his passing. I'm sure he and his brother got at least a million a piece in both assets and liquidity. Dusty not only made a lot of money over the years as a performer, but was big behind the scenes for years in WCW and WWE, which were probably paying him close to seven figures each year.

Stardust nope Bullet club member yep Boss of AEW HELL.......YEAH

Well now you tell me Cody!, my sister Emily was looking forward to seeing you that night in Greensboro NC. So that means I traveled almost 3 hours to visit my sister & make her a Stardust sign which took me hours to do and you quit at the last minute, wow what a bummer hearing this. Oh and by the way Mr. Rhodes, my sister was very disappointed when she found out you weren't there so thanks alot bro... ):-(

I knew Cody was out -- when they did this vignette for WWE Network; a 'man on the street' type deal at Universal Citywalk, and Goldust and Stardust were out there -- being funny -- and Cody swings up to this lady, and she's hyped to see him. "Ahhh! A fan! Do you know who I am!" "Of Course! You're KISS!" The look on Cody's face said 'See you at Wrestle Kingdom, folks!'
