Cody Rhodes is in his hotel right now preparing for the rumble and just randomly started stuttering and burst into tears. He sensed that someone, somewhere, insulted Dusty 🥺🥺🥺 #AEWRampage

The brothers also teamed together, with the former WWE tag champs combining to face The Young Bucks at Fight For The Fallen later that year. While Cody left AEW last year his brother has remained with the promotion. Just this week he had a run-in with Swerve Strickland, potentially setting up a bout further down the line.
