Cody Rhodes on if he will go back on his word and challenge for AEW World Title
“Ultimately, that decision will rest on Tony Khan. I’m going to stick to my word. It’s the easiest heel turn in the history of wrestling if I were to break my word, but I love that we are disciplined and conservative and we’re presenting wrestling backward from the big events to every little detail.”
“I don’t want to sound braggadocious or egotistical, but my goal is to never need the World Championship. Yeah, it sucks to watching Kenny Omega or Jon Moxley with the title when I consider myself the 1A of the group, but I gave my word.”
He may have failed to conquer the World Championship but he was the innaugral TNT Champion. He is also the first two-time champion in the title’s young history. Rhodes dropped the title to Darby Allin at lasr year’s Full Gear.
