• Jim Cornette Rips AEW Executives For Not Caring About Kayfabe
At AEW Fyter Fest, Cody Rhodes wrestled Darby Allin to a 20 minute time limit draw.
After the match, Shawn Spears (f.k.a Tye Dillinger in WWE) came to the ring and hit Cody in the head with a Steel Chair!
This was an unprotected chair shot to the head and Cody was busted open.
You can watch it below:
During the post-show media interviews, AEW executives openly revealed that the steel chair that Cody was hit with was actually “gimmicked”, but it still ended up hurting Cody.
Jim Cornette wasn’t happy at all with AEW executives not caring about kayfabe and tweeted the following:
These two simpering assholes, supposedly wrestling "executives", are talking about "Golly, we gimmicked the chair" after an angle on their own TV. Fake people, fake rasslers, lousy bullshit product. I knew from the start they couldn't possibly do this seriously. #InOverTheirHeads https://t.co/lmqy2gC3x9
