Cody Rhodes has been one of the top stars in AEW since the inception of the company, and recently Cody faced off against Malakai Black during this week’s special Grand Slam episode of Dynamite. As the former TNT Champion was making his grand entrance into Arthur Ashe Stadium the fans started to boo him and the negative reaction could not be ignored.
Arn Anderson recently appeared on Busted Open Radio and he shared his thoughts on why the fans might be turning on Cody.
“I don’t pretend to be a mind reader, but I’m trying to get in the head of a wrestling fan. The most talented guy and the number one guy in Hollywood right now is The Rock, no disputing that. John Cena was a guy who always said he was dedicating 100% of his time to the fans, to the company, to the business. When he started doing movies and was no longer with WWE, I think fans possibly, I’m not putting words in their mouth, may have felt betrayed that they got their support behind these guys and when they got red hot, they took off to Hollywood.
I don’t think that’s the case, they earned everything they got and they deserve a chance to pursue other things. That may be, ‘Cody is going to get red hot, do all these shows, and he’s not going to be around anymore.’ I think they might feel a little bit, I don’t want to say betrayed but slighted a little bit.”
