Audio & Coverage: Cody Rhodes Media Conference Call For AEW Double Or Nothing

Cody Rhodes spe𝓡aks to media ahead of AEW Double Or Nothing! You can see full live updates below, 💛and watch along above!

- Cody says that the card we will 🌼see Saturday is about 90 percent the same as what the direction was go💖ing to be before the pandemic happened.

- Cody credits Tony Khan and others for helping put the shows on over the past few mon🎀ths.

- Cody 🎉wants to make AEW and Double or Nothing destination viewing and keep the things people like, which is hard to gauge with no live audience to let you know.

- Cody says he gets "Stunning" Steve Austin ﷺand "Natural" Dustin Rhodes vibes from MJF and Jungle 🎀Boy as a peek into AEW's future.

- He puts over the medical tꦛeam and the testing the staff and roster are undergoing. Cody thinks a lot of the performers will come out of this as better🧔 wrestlers.

- They don't want to "rank" the TNT title, because they want to see whaꦏt that title actually is. They don't want to put an identity on it of make it "secondary." The number one rank isn't a definite in facing the AEW Champion, they might face the TNT Champion.

-💞 Cody is happy to see a lot of super heavies converge in AEW in recent months. 

- Cody's very happy that AEW has the benefit of Daily's Place. He likes the environment and would beﷺ okay wrestling the💫re for the foreseeable future. There are other places that are wanting AEW as the world opens up, though. He liked that Daily's has a lot of environments.

- He thinks they'll stick around in Jacksonville without fans as it mak🦋es more sense and it's safer to s𝓡tay there.

- Cody reiterates that the Nightmare Factory is not affiliated with AEW, but he's happy💧 they had the infrastructure to film a few shows there.

- Cody says it's disappointing to not be able to hug or shakﷺe hands, but it might be passe. 

- For those of you wondering why empty arena shows still use mics: the hard camera✅ can't pick up the audio appropriately, they still need them for the audience at home to hear.

- Cody says they'll ho🦄pefully present new dates for rescheduled dates "sooner than later" and maybe "in a couple of weeks." Says Roch⛄ester will for sure happen.

-ꦺ He says international live event plans will perhaps take a hit and a delay because they don't know when the borders will open up.

- Cody spea📖ks highly of Matt Hardy, and says Matt spoke to the roster💖 on the waterfront last night. He says the Elite is Kenny Omega, and Young Bucks. He says Hangman, Marty Scurll and presumably Matt Hardy is a part of the expanded Elite universe.
