AEW Star Recalls Cody Rhodes Paying Him Out Of Pocket

WWE

An AEW star recalls Cody Rhodes paying him directly from his PayPal account for having appeared at the original All In in 2018.

Speaking on the Bragman Breakdown, AEW and ROH star Ethan Page recalled a heartwarming story about now WWE star, Cody Rhodes.

Ethan Page said:

“I don’t know if this is officially confirmed or not, so I don’t know how clickbaity this will be. I’m 99% sure…I’m pretty sure Cody paid me out of pocket.

I want to say he hand-selected a few people that he wanted to feature. He put the show on with his buddies. Later on, there was the tie-in with Ring of Honor.

“Ultimately, my payment came from his name to my PayPal, so I’m pretty sure I was hand-selected by my friend to get this opportunity.

“He also put on the media scrum. He was definitely looking out. I’ll always deliver on my end to make sure whoever puts their neck out for me is not doing it in a way that is going to get them in trouble. He definitely put his foot forward for me.

“Ironically, when I was signing with AEW, he told me that he wouldn’t, because he didn’t want me to be a friend hire, and that’s how I started my career.

“I respected that. He’s always had my back, and I appreciate him putting me in that because it was such a huge spotlight.”

The original All In 2018 featured the perhaps aptly named ‘Over Budget Battle Royale’ on the pre-show, featuring talent from a variety of promotions.
