Cody Rhodes has been on a roll as of late, as he’s been successfully defended his TNT Championship week in and week out in an open challenge on AEW Dynamite.
This week on Dynamite Cody defended his title against independent star Eddie Kingston, and former WCW star Disco Inferno asked whether Cody Rhodes is a heel for defending the belt against indie stars instead of AEW stars.
“Is Cody Rhodes a heel? This is like the old school angle where you have a list of worthy contenders and they are just a bunch of indy workers that don’t even work for the company. #warhorse”

Cody responded with the following:
“I’m neither. I’m a competitor & a reigning champion. Tired old tropes are even more insulting to the viewer considering I’ve been on their TV since I was 20. It ain’t black and white, it hasn’t been in forever. Circumstances of the match dictate who we cheer for, beautiful thing.”
