During an interview with Sportskeeda UnSKripted, Ken Anderson stated that the circumstances that led to Cody Rhodes leaving AEW are unknown to him. The former United States Champion explained that wrestlers getting released or leaving a promotion are simply part of the wrestling industry. Anderson added that it's common for athletes to shift companies after a certain time period:

"I don't know the circumstances, but the wrestling business is just ever-evolving, and people get mad after somebody gets fired or released, but at the end of the day, it's just part of the business,'' said Ken Anderson. ''You work for a territory for a certain period of time, and then you move on to a different territory, kind of like the old days, it's just different." (27:52 - 28:20)

1. "It leaves a sour taste in my mouth" - Big Swole was unhappy with her match against Britt Baker

Big Swole recently spoke on the Public Enemies Podcast and opened up about the process behind her famous Tooth and Nail match against Britt Baker. According to the star, things didn't go exactly as she had hoped.

“I was the perfect person to turn her heel; I had the most charisma, I had the most character. It’s just in my nature,” Swole said. "So the Tooth and Nail match, she wasn’t necessarily cleared. We do cinematic but we couldn’t do any of the matches, like a real match."

Swole continued on how she tried to influence the angle between the two stars:

"I was like, ‘Kenny, we haven’t wrestled. There’s no substance to this. This is a trailer at this point. I stopped for, at least 40 minutes to try to put some type of action into it. She did the fisherman onto the floor and we just started fighting-fighting, until we got pretty much to the end and it was a long day." (H/T: PostWrestling)
