Not so much a schizo theory just waiting for it to come to light. At some point it will
>Brandi Rhodes had a 3 year contract with AEW as brand officer while Cody had a 3 year deal with an option year, their deals weren't linked
>Brandi absolutely oversold her abilities to manage a brand
>Brandi was brought in to help with the media stuff but was incompetent
>Her big idea was to leverage Tony's funds in to YouTube and Twitter social media stuff
>This was fine for a while but she very quickly begun to cross boundaries
>Rather than spotlight talent she tried to leverage the spotlight on to herself (que her on screen character and her YouTube drinking show)
>Tony soured on Brandi when she overshadowed one of the Joshis and got in to an argument with Kenny which Cody had to breakup
>Rather than confront the issue Tony's solution was to remove Kenny from the women's division
>This continued for a while then Brandi started to seek more control over merchandising, culminating in an argument with Matt Jackson, again Tony's solution was to remove Matt from the equation
>Basically the feeling backstage was "if it's something Brandi wants to do then the solution is no one should do it" resulting in key players being removed from positions to avoid conflicts that Brandi started
>Alongside all this, Cody sided with Brandi and felt she should have more control over branding duties despite it running in counter to what Tony, Kenny and the Bucks wanted, with Cody in the middle
>Best thing that happened during this time was Brandi got pregnant and Tony brought in an interim brand officer
>When it came time for Brandi to resume her "normal" duties she said she wanted more power, reduced workload, and less time touring
>Tony sucked it up for a while until contract time came out
>Tony informed Brandi that he wasn't renewing her contract, Cody learns that his contract is likely to be renewed for the option year and Brandi is furious
