Right, but is WWE going to give him the same money AEW is giving Punk or Bryan? I'm still not getting why he would be more valuable to WWE than AEW. 

Might not be exactly but it'll likely be more money than he would ever make in AEW. I'm sure there's more reasons than what we know (like creative differences, like the latest rumor stating that Cody's booking wasnt approved).

Vince is petty, this is the same company that brought Sting in only for him to job twice.

Again though... why?

AEW is well funded. They've been willing to make competitive offers to guys like Bryan and Punk. Even with Vince's pettiness I don't get why he would pay more than AEW, and Cody's creative control would be significantly diminished. Best I could figure is that Cody is trying to set himself up for post wrestling projects and the WWE exposure/legends deal will be more useful than AEW will be.

If he does show up, HHH and Steph vs Cody and Brandi for Mania. Would be a money match, even if it sadly means we'd have to see Brandi wrestle.
