WWE Champion Cody Rhodes spoke to Peter Rosenberg on Cheap Heat, and Rhodes discussed the AEW product, and ultimately stated that he would never root against them:

“…There's a quote in the Young Bucks book about how I was last to the signing. Me, Matt, and Nick are as close as ever. So glad I had them in my career and my life. If we are being honest, AEW does not happen without me. It doesn't. With that in mind, I could never root against them. It's like having a kid and they go off to college and they get a DUI or they get in trouble. I'll always have that in my heart for them.”

Rhodes is set for a busy weekend, as on Saturday, he is set to headline Backlash France against AJ Styles.

H/T – Fightful
