What Are Cody And AEW Looking For In Indie Talent?

Cody was interviewed by Tony Schiavone and discussed lots of topics. Cody and Tony talked about his upcoming match with Scorpio Sky, the open challenge, when the TNT Title will be finished, and what they’re looking for in independent wrestlers.

Here is what Cody had to say about what AEW is looking for when it comes to signing independent wrestlers:

“Tony Khan and Arn have done a really great job at looking at the overall landscape – who’s making waves at AEW and who’s making waves outside. I think it has less to do with polished talent and pedigree and more to do with work.

“I think that’s a big part of it – your ability to do the work. It went from a fun motto and hashtag but it’s applicable to everything especially in this era of wrestling on TV. Content is what matters.”

Cody specifically mentioned a couple of specific wrestlers when talking about doing the work. He talked about Matt Sydal and Alex Hammerstone as guys he’s got his eye on for the open challenge.
