Cody Rhodes keeps promise he made to a fan about AEW Dynamite
Cody Rhodes might have left AEW for WWE, but tending to fans is above any promotional bias for the American Nightmare.
Many months back, a Twitter user revealed that he was struck with a personal tragedy. Upon hearing about it, Cody Rhodes promised to get him tickets to an episode of AEW Dynamite. He kept his promise despite switching over to Tony Khan's biggest rival as the fan got tickets for the upcoming Dynamite show in Philadelphia.
Speaking with ABC 6 in Philadelphia, the three-time TNT Champion elaborated on the importance of keeping promises.
"People come and go and wrestle and change and stars are all around and I'm currently fully on board and committed and all in with WWE as happy as I have ever been. But that does not discount what I helped create. It doesn't discount my friends that remain there (in AEW) or anything of that nature or fans of that product. I'm not intending on invalidating their experience and I don't think anyone of this generation is really looking to do that," Rhodes said.
Rhodes went on to explain how important it is to provide for the fans.
"I think it is important to not get into the weeds, and find the positives, find the people who enjoy what you're doing and are supporting and following. That's just a great example of wrestling as an international language. I hope it's going that direction, that there is more positivity, that it's not so much about the contrary and opinions selling yourself against it versus just hey, they like what we do. Let me help you see what it is that we do live and in person,"

But taking my nephews to see Sonic The Hedgehog and go to the arcade prior.
