Below are a couple of top AEW & WWE news stories of the day, featuring Cody Rhodes, Lana and Damian Priest.
• During an interview on the FLAGRANT podcast, Cody Rhodes was asked if he’d like a backstage job in WWE after his in-ring career comes to an end.
Here’s what The American Nightmare said:
“I had the management role with my previous company, I would say I failed at that. I didn’t necessarily succeed, but I learned a lot from that failure, and with this company, with WWE, if that’s something that comes up for me, would you like to be behind the scenes?
It’s definitely something I’m considering because I had a whole run at it once before where I pretty much bombed.
So at this point I think I can get this now. I think I can figure it out. Long way off though. I want to hang on to this as long as I can.”
