Cody Rhodes Says There’s No Reason AEW Wouldn’t Work With WWE

All Elite Wrestling seems to be at the center of all the crossover happening in wrestling right now. While they have been at odds, Cody Rhodes says there is no reason AEW couldn’t add WWE to their list of allies.

In a recent interview with the New York Post, Rhodes said that AEW’s doors are open if the circumstances are right. Here is the quote:

“There’s no reason that there couldn’t be a potential WWE crossover one day. And I don’t mean that’s a thing that’s been discussed or happening, but none of those rules that exist for other places exist for us. Wrestling is really this universal industry. The territory reference that you made, that’s fairly accurate, but the part of it that’s most accurate was there was a genuine trust.

[1970s NWA President] Eddie Graham and Vince [McMahon] Sr. they traded people all the time and made prolific pieces of business out of it and they did it in a way where they introduced these characters in New York and then next thing you know they introduce these characters in Florida and it kept things fresh because above all, Wednesday Night War or not the main thing we have to do for fans for the rest of this run – and I want this company to be around forever — is keep it fresh. It can’t ever get stale.

Our doors are open if the business is right, if the moment is right, if the time right. Our bridges are down. I’ll be the one curmudgeon AEW guy to make sure it’s all good.”

WWE and AEW currently go head to head on Wednesday nights with their NXT and Dynamite broadcasts.
