Cody Rhodes recently participated in a Twitter Q&A session and offered a few notable takeaways. First, he pinpointed Wardlow and Kris Statlander as two potential stars in the making.
Might be a lot of those, the talent pool in wrestling is so rich atm
Statlander & Wardlow seem to be on the verge of special stuff
If they do the work, sky is the limit https://t.co/OwnAPedDQB

Then, he discussed why he doesn’t want AEW to feature an on-screen authority figure. “Authority elements seem insulting in this era,” wrote Rhodes.
Hopefully never. The audience isn’t dumb, they know who management is. Authority elements seem insulting in this era. This is just my opinion, as there’s a lot of fun ways to do this and I respect those. https://t.co/XqCdOcnqW8

Finally, Rhodes contrasted the TNT Championship from the other championships in All Elite Wrestling. “It came from the actual network,” wrote Rhodes.
The fact that it didn’t come from management. It came from the actual network, crazy when you put that into perspective. Honored to have been a part of this tournie.
