#5 Cody Rhodes in AEW has been great for him

Cody Rhodes' AEW run has been significantly better than his time in WWE. Appointing him as the Executive Vice President of the promotion has worked out very well.

Mox is extremely popular among AEW fans, and is regularly featured in AEW main events. According to Mice News Philippines, Moxley's net worth in 2021 is $6.1 Million, with an annual salary of around $1 Million.
