What baffles me about the situation is WWE booking is complete shit, it has been for years and years, just horrible stuff except for maybe one or two storylines. Every WWE guy knows that, you´re not there for the action, you´re not there to have fun, not for the freedom nor the artistic part of wrestling, you are just there to have a big entrance, become a household name, hopefully be part of some of the "history" of WWE, ocasionally have a moment with some WWE legend and above else you´re there to cash the big cheques.
Althought I for one think you´re completely in the right to say f*ck this sh*t and f*ck off, I don´t know, seems kind of idiotic to me to do that in 2022 WWE. Do you really expect good booking there? I doubt Cody will be more fulfilled wrestling wise in WWE, but he made it clear the one and only reason to come back is basically because money and because unfortunately being WWE champion is still considered winning the NBA ring of wrestling, nothing else comes close.
