Former WWE star comments on AEW fans chanting for Cody Rhodes
Darby Allin cut a promo on AEW Dynamite last month and claimed that Cody Rhodes was the only EVP with a brain. The promo caused AEW fans in attendance to chant for Cody Rhodes during Dynamite.
Speaking on a recent episode of Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws, EC3 claimed that the promo went viral for all of the wrong reasons. He added that AEW should not want fans to chant for the biggest star in their rival promotion.
"No the whole point of a promo is to get across your business, your character, your company, so I think the last thing you would want was them to chant the name of somebody who is main-eventing the biggest show in the world in an opposing company. It's just, it's not right, but the problem is so many modern talent especially in that sort of realm...is in a bubble." [6:13-6:42]
