WWE Hall of Famer Booker T discussed the end of Cody Rhodes’ AEW run during the latest episode of his Hall Of Fame podcast.
When asked why Rhodes got so much hate towards the end of the AEW, he said the following:
“I heard somebody say we’re living in an internet world now and things just are different than the way it was when I came up. I totally understand that now. Now, you have fans that can coordinate with each other through social media to come into that arena, to take it over, and to cheer for the guy that they like and literally want to get the guys out of there that they don’t like. I really believe there’s a small group of people that do that.”
“But when you get the bandwagon on board, man, it could turn into something. There could have been a core group of people that did not like Cody Rhodes, and everybody else just jumped on the bandwagon. That could have been what it was. I could be wrong.”
“But it shows in WWE, that the fans are happy to see him back and appreciate seeing Cody back. I can’t tell you why he’s getting the big pop over at WWE. Maybe the WWE Universe missed Cody Rhodes and are just happy to see him back. Maybe that’s it.”
