Whether it has been the reports of backstage rift’s with other AEW EVPs or the fan reaction to his bookings, in the past few months, Cody Rhodes has received a lot of unwanted heat. Now the current TNT Champion is speaking on these subjects.
While speaking with Fite TV’s Fite in Focus, Cody Rhodes talked about AEW’s current crop of talents, both young and old. He also admitted that the company has egos and conflicts backstage.
“It’s also wonderful to see. Tony, I think, calls them the new face of AEW, kind of a new generation. He talks about these new free agents, which is a wonderful dichotomy from the OGs, from the original. And that also creates great wrestling and great stories, to mix and match those characters and dip those toes into different sets of water. I imagine it will be our biggest and most successful year yet. And I hope fans don’t take that as me being arrogant or anything of that nature. We continue to grow for three years and I don’t see us stopping, because we love it too much. We genuinely do. If you come backstage at AEW, there is no place like it. It has its own egos and problems, people not liking each other. But for the most part, that’s the most team effort place that I have been part of in my life.”
Cody is currently slated to face off against former TNT champion Sammy Guevara on Saturday, January 8 at AEW’s Battle of the Belts in a rematch for the TNT Title.
