This week on the Battleground” Podcast, AEW star Wardlow gave his thoughts on Cody Rhodes leaving AEW after his contract expired in December and failed to reach an agreement with Tony Khan.
Although nothing has been signed, the expectation is that Rhodes is headed to WWE.
“I’m just as surprised as everybody else,” Wardlow said. “I woke up to see the news, so I’m still very much in the dark on the situation. I could speak on the situation for an hour straight, maybe longer. But for right now, without really knowing too much detail, all I can say to them is, thank you.”
“They invited me to their house, he invited me to a school to take a look at me, and he made my dreams come true. I’ll never have a bad word to say about Cody. I’ve never had anything other than a positive interaction with him, and he legit made my dreams come true. I will forever be in his debt, I will forever thank him, and be thankful for him and the opportunity he gave me because I wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you guys if it wasn’t for him.”
He continued, “So if this is it, I would just say thank you to him. I wish him and his family the best with whatever they decide to do. I messaged him earlier that doing what’s best for you and your family is never a bad decision, no matter who it affects, so I just wish them the best.”
