Say whatever you will but this doesn't happen without AEW.
If Cody goes back in 2019 only after his indies/New Japan run, he never gets the push he did in WWE without being one of EVPs of their top rival promotion.
Congrats @CodyRhodes & @WWERomanReigns For Providing One Of The Most Athletic And Believable Main Events That I’ve Seen In A Long Time. I Hate The Interference, But It All Played Out In Your Favor And It Made The Show More Enjoyable To Watch. I Respect You Both. Thankful To Know You! Cody, You Finally Lived Your Dad’s Dream! Love You All! WOOOOO! -Naitch
@AEW@chaswvccc@TBSNetwork@dustinrhodes @samoejoe You have a chance for the elder Rhodes brother to beat another Somoan for the world championship? You have to imagine the cross promoting implications. Cody's win was just on the front page of a national news site. Besides that, its Dustin's time damnit!
After watching @CodyRhodes win tonight, I watched #AEWCollision and the @dustinrhodes promo made me literally tear up as a 34 year old man. Does @TonyKhan realize what making #DustinRhodes world champ would mean? You can't write this shit.
Damnnnn. Im Sitting in my hospital room after having two surgeries and I was looking forward to watching #AEWDynamite until the TV signal decided to go out. I caught the first half hour but it will not come back on 😞 #AEW#AEWFightForever#AEWxNJPW#AEWCollision#AEWRampage
