In an interview with AXS TV, Cody Rhodes commented on why he did not participate in the 2018 NJPW G1 Tournament.
At the NJPW G1 Special, Cody Rhodes will challenge current IWGP Heavyweight champion Kenny Omega for the Championship.
“I would’ve wanted to be in the tournament this year, but there’s this other part of my life that’s not (pro) wrestling, and that’s?!
I’ve been working to break into acting a little further.
I had my guest roles in a couple of past seasons (of Arrow), and there was something I was able to accrue or book. It hasn’t been announced yet, and that’s eating up my schedule.
I actually don’t have a day off until the Wednesday before All In. After, I think I start July 1st [2018] and then go all the way till the Wednesday before All In.
No days off at all. That was the reason I wasn’t able to be in the G1. I think I’ll just guarantee it. I’ll Joe Namath it.
I will absolutely be in the G1 if not next year, the year after that. I give you my word.
I’ll be in the G1.
If I have to move Heaven and Earth to do it, I will compete in one. I’ve seen the importance of it.”
