AEW President Tony Khan talked about WWE star Cody Rhodes' recent statement, where he mentioned being disrespected in the Jacksonville-based promotion.
The American Nightmare left AEW in 2022 and rejoined World Wrestling Entertainment. The former EVP of the Jacksonville-based promotion is now the Undisputed WWE Champion and the face of the company. A few months ago, Cody shed light on his All Elite Wrestling departure. He claimed that getting disrespected by a global sports entertainment juggernaut was still fathomable, but that in the promotion that he helped establish wasn't acceptable.
While speaking on Q101, Tony Khan was asked to address Cody Rhodes' statement. Instead of taking this claim personally, the AEW President noted that while he doesn't agree with everything Rhodes says, he is happy that The American Nightmare says a lot of good things about his company.
“You know, he does a lot of interviews, and I think when you have to say so many words so often — because he works so hard, he works such a big schedule — to his credit, I bet he does hundreds of interviews a year. And I’m not sure I agree with that, but I also would give him the benefit of the doubt that, you know, I’ve heard him say a lot of positive things, too," Khan said.
