WWE's Cody Rhodes Gets AEW Dynamite Tickets For Twitter Fan
A wonderful gesture across the pro wrestling divide from 'The American Nightmare'
Cody Rhodes is a good egg.
'The American Nightmare' made good on a long-held promise yesterday, securing a fan tickets to last night's AEW Dynamite despite jumping to WWE in the time since the original agreement was made.
In October 2021, Rhodes offered free tickets to wrestling fan Tyler Williams the next time AEW hit Williams' Philadelphia locale. Williams had sadly lost his brother, and the family had bonded over wrestling before his passing. After a discussion on Twitter, the kind deal was struck, and Williams' concerns about Cody's switch to the opposition were immediately offset my the former TNT Champion making good on his word.
Rhodes spoke on it in an interview with ABC 6, noting (h/t WrestlingInc):
“People come and go and wrestle and change and stars are all around and I’m currently fully on board and committed and all in with WWE as happy as I have ever been...But that does not discount what I helped create. It doesn’t discount my friends that remain there [in AEW] or anything of that nature or fans of that product. I’m not intending on invalidating their experience and I don’t think anyone of this generation is really looking to do that. I think it is important to not get into the weeds, and find the positives, find the people who enjoy what you’re doing and are supporting and following.”
Amen.
