Cody Rhodes starting the war with WWE
The biggest jaw-dropper of the entire night, was young Cody officially starting a war with WWE. When AEW first launched, the company took a humble approach, including saying that they would be an alternate for fans tired of recycled ideas and champions working a half-assed schedule.
The Elite member soon destroyed HHH’s The King of King’s throne, with a sledge hammer – essentially burning the bridge of his return ever back to the WWE. Given the people in charge and roster actually happy to be working for this company, he may not ever need them again.
