In a media call, Cody Rhodes commented on the speculation and rumors of animosity amongst the AEW executive vice presidents.
Recently there have been claims of ‘in-fighting’ between Cody Rhodes and the Elite. According to Rhodes, this speculation isn’t even remotely true.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful brought up the claims during the media call with Rhodes. The former WWE star stated that all the EVPs support each other, suggesting that the rumors could’ve been started by angry WWE fans.
Noting that he often speaks with the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, Rhodes said:
“When I heard that story was floating around, it is when of the things I chopped up as…we’ve been very successful, AEW, and with NXT and the Wednesday Night Wars, it created a lot of anger and I understand there is a lot of hardcore NXT and WWE fans out there and that’s why those stories don’t surprise me.
“People need to cling to something and as sexy as that story is, I talk to Matt and Nick every day, I talk to Kenny very often, I support their projects fully and they’ve been supportive of all my projects. We would not be able to put this show on the air, Tony is the man and he’s the boss, but we wouldn’t be able to put the show on the air if the four of us were not functioning as one team. Unfortunately, it’s not very sexy to say, but there is no truth to that. We’ll remain one team.”
Rhodes is preparing to face Anthony Ogogo at Double or Nothing on Sunday. The event will also feature an AEW Tag Team Championship match between The Young Bucks and Jon Moxley & Eddie Kingston.
Kenny Omega will defend his AEW World Championship against Orange Cassidy and PAC. Omega revealed that before AEW existed, he thought he’d retire in Japan.
Double or Nothing airs on Fite on May 30 at 8pm ET.
