AEW star Matt Hardy took to an episode of his โExtreme Life of Matt Hardyโ podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including why he is a fan of WWE star “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes.
Hardy said, โI like Cody as a person, I liked him since he started with WWE since I first got to know him. [I] obviously spent a ton of time with him during the pandemic and we became close during that time. I love what heโs doing, and I respect his courage to step outside of whatโs comfortable and do something different.โ
โHe did all this then there was a point in AEW where he felt like, โOh, maybe things arenโt exactly where I want them to be, Iโll step away.โ He couldโve had it all there right? He could have re-signed, could have had a great deal.โ โBut deep down inside, he challenged himself to be greater and obtain more. I certainly would not have hated if he would have won last WrestleMania because it would have worked it would have been very good.โ โHeโs finding success there, so hatโs off to Cody.โ
