Good Ol' JR expressed his thoughts on the matter. He wished Cody well and speculated that his next destination would be WWE and stressed that being happy is extremely important in the business.
“I hope that he does well, I’m assuming he’s going to WWE but I don’t know, haven’t talked to him. Things change, life is that way and I just hope he does well and I’m sure if he’s going to WWE, where else would he go after leaving AEW, that he’ll do some wrestling and probably do some administrative work. Talented kid, I’ve known him since he was born and I just hope he does well and he’s happy. Being happy is really important,” Ross said. (H/T - Wrestling Inc)
Jim Ross on his favorite Cody Rhodes match in AEW
Cody Rhodes has had some stellar matches in All Elite Wrestling. The most recent one is the five-star classic against Sammy Guevara for the undisputed TNT championship on the Beach Break edition of Dynamite. This also happened to be Cody's last match.
On the AdFree show exclusive, when asked what he thought Cody's best AEW match was, Jim Ross said it was his encounter with brother Dustin Rhodes at Double or Nothing 2019.
“His match with his brother Dustin, I thought that was one of the best matches of the year on anybody’s promotion. Personally, as a broadcaster, I really enjoyed calling it because they brought really gritty emotion to the process. He clearly had a lot of really good matches, there’s no doubt but I don’t know if there was one that was more dramatic or better or more emotional than the match that he had with Dustin,” Ross said.
