All Elite Wrestling’s Cody Rhodes proved Wednesday night that you don’t need a massive staff of writers to deliver compelling storytelling on the microphone.
Rhodes, not working off a script scrutinized by a team of writers, delivered what can be described without hyperbole as an all-time great wrestling promo during “AEW Dynamite.”
The purpose of the segment was ostensibly to hype up Rhodes’s upcoming match against Chris Jericho for the AEW World Championship at the “Full Gear” pay-per-view on Saturday, but he delivered so much more.
He addressed the elephant in the room that, as an executive vice president with AEW, he helps book the show and determine who gets a title opportunity.
