WWE Raw star Cody Rhodes has opened up about his relationship with AEW’s Arn Anderson, noting that he’d love to work with the wrestling legend again.
Prior to Cody Rhodes’ WWE return, the American Nightmare had Arn Anderson serving as his manager in AEW.
Rhodes didn’t have anybody in his corner for his main event match at WrestleMania 39, which may have been his error, as Roman Reigns pinned him to retain the WWE Undisputed Universal Title following interference from Solo Sikoa.
Speaking with Sam Roberts for Notsam Wrestling, Rhodes noted that he’d ‘move mountains’ for the opportunity to work with Anderson again.
Suggesting that he may have been successful at WrestleMania if the Hall of Famer was by his side, Rhodes said:
“I miss Arn (Anderson) greatly. I think had I had Arn at WrestleMania, things might have been different.
“He just was a huge positive force for me there and he’s so freakin’ smart about the psychology of a crowd and not enough people go to him.
“Plenty do, but not enough go to him and say, hey, what about this? Because they don’t want it changed. You don’t have to change it. You should at least hear what he’s thinking though.
“You got your (Steven) Spielbergs and (Francis Ford) Coppolas and your (Martin) Scoreses and all these people, the cinema meme you notice.
“Arn really is one of those. He did this at the highest level. People rioting over stuff Arn did in the past and here he is getting famous again.
“Just in a inappropriate way (referring to Arn’s Glock promo). But, I love Arn, miss him. I would move a lot of things and move mountains if the opportunity came up for Arn to show up and come to my aid one more time.
Anderson is still under contract with AEW. In December 2022, he stated that he’s set to be with AEW for at least another year and a half.
Cody Rhodes is currently preparing for another big match, with the American Nightmare set to battle Brock Lesnar again at SummerSlam on August 5.
