Major AEW star namedrops Cody Rhodes following title win at Full Gear 2024
A new champion in AEW surprisingly namedropped the current Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, following his title win. The star won his first singles title at Full Gear 2024.
The AEW star in question is Daniel Garcia. Before Cody Rhodes made his return to WWE in 2022 and became one of the top babyfaces in the company, he was one of the founding members of All Elite Wrestling. Since he departed the promotion, Cody has been referenced several times on Tony Khan's promotion.
At the AEW Full Gear 2024 pay-per-view, Daniel Garcia challenged Jack Perry for the TNT Championship. After a remarkable effort, Garcia finally captured the win and his first singles title since his All Elite debut. During the post-show media scrum after his win, Garcia mentioned the current WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
While discussing the TNT title's lineage, Garcia dropped the names of former Champions, including Brodie Lee, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, and Cody, the former three-time TNT Champion.
Speaking of Cody, The American Nightmare challenged Kevin Owens to a match wherever he wants on SmackDown after weeks of animosity between the two. Only time will tell where the story is heading.
