Speaking on the latest episode of his podcast Jim Cornette Experience, Cornette added that fans reacted as if they had seen a stranger upon seeing Cody Rhodes. The wrestling veteran added that the crowd wanted to see the former TNT Champion getting defeated by Black, but they didn't want to see Brandi Rhodes at all.
Furthermore, Cornette went as far as to claim that Cody Rhodes was the "hottest heel" at Ashe Arthur Stadium during AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam.
"No wonder the crowd was booing every breath that Cody Rhodes took in the match. This was it. This was the one where they (AEW) couldn't mute the sound, they couldn't talk their way out of it. Everything that Malakai Black did, the people came unglued. Everything that Cody did, it was like 20,000 fans at the same time had seen some stranger break into their house. They hated it! The only thing they wanted to see was Cody getting kicked out of him, and I don't think they wanted to see Brandi get kicked, I just think they didn't wanna see her at all. So with this situation, Malakai Black was a raving babyface, and Cody Rhodes was the hottest heel on the show," said Jim Cornette.
