Cody says the TNT champion won't be in top 5 rankings for the World title. Won't look at them as no. 1 and no. 2 because they don't know what it will turn out to be. Says he hasn't even seen the belt. ^JN

Cody says plan right now is for AEW to stay in Jacksonville as moving around opens up more risks. Decision isn't completely up to him. Safest decision to stay in FL as the pandemic is going. ^JN

Cody talked about the COVID-19 testing they have been doing. It's not done at Daily's Place or around other wrestlers/staff and even wrestlers/staff are tested in separate places. Notes that production wouldn't shut down with a positive test. ^JN
