• Cody Rhodes Explains Why He’ll Never Bash NXT Like Kenny Omega Did
During a recent AEW Dynamite media call, Cody Rhodes was asked about Kenny Omega bashing NXT and its wrestlers.
Below is what Cody said:
“Well, I know that my father was rather instrumental in bringing the developmental brand up from the OVW-like situation or the FCW situation that I was in as a trainer, and making it more of a brand.
You’ll never hear me disparage NXT. There’s a locker room full of my friends over there and literally if any of you have done the Performance Center tour, you’re going to happen in front of my dad’s boots.
I think Kenny was just having a bit of fun and it was something much in character that’s been going on with Being The Elite. I have nothing but good things to say about the developmental brand, and their success they’ve had, and their continued success.”
