One of the most provocative segments saw Cody Rhodes take a sledgehammer to a Triple H inspired throne, the the throne exploded and fell apart after the hammer was thrown down.

After the show Cody spoke with the media, and he explained that he wants to “play ball” while talking about the throne segment.
“Okay, so I had a literal dream about this type of entrance. I loved when Triple H came out at WrestleMania 30 and it was kinda like Shao Kahn and it was really cool. The throne kinda symbolized his reign and man, I wanna play ball. I know we don’t say competition but it stands for itself you know? And I also want people to know this role, this executive vice president role which I love and I’m excited about but I want to be a wrestler first and that’s great, we were able to do that tonight.”
Cody went on to say that Tony Khan sat in the gorilla position and timed out the show, and he clarified that even though he holds an executive role with AEW, he’s not ready to step away from the ring.
“We were able to go out there and be wrestlers and that, more than anything, not so much a shot at Triple H, more a shot at I’m not ready to dive into that role and lean into it. I wanna be a wrestler first and foremost. I’m not done.”
